Amber Rondo opens at 3 p.m. on July 19-20 with WCB anniversary kegs
Beer pub Amber Rondo in Sendai’s Honcho district will open at 3 p.m. on the July 19-20 holiday weekend. The tap list includes West Coast Brewing anniversary releases, Mikkeller, Schneider and more, with draft beer sold by the measure.
Hop BroWhat caught my eye in Sendai this holiday is Amber Rondo opening at 3 PM. On July 19 and 20, you can start early, and they’re tapping WCB anniversary kegs too.
MugiWait, daytime beer mode!? And anniversary kegs somehow sound extra festive already.
Hop BroThe lineup is the real hook: West Coast Brewing’s 7th anniversary beers include Firelight WC-IPA, plus Haze Alliance, Mikkeller’s Burst IPA, and Schneider’s Aventinus.
MugiHold on, HAZY Triple IPA and DIPA? That is way too many letters. What’s the difference?
Hop BroIn simple terms, West Coast IPA is crisp, bitter, and dry; hazy beers are cloudy and juicy; DIPA and Triple IPA push both hops and ABV higher.
MugiOhh! Then Pineapple IPA from Hopdog and FARO’s Joey XPA sound like really fun places to start.
Hop BroExactly. And Amber Rondo does draft beer by weight, so it’s easy to compare small pours. Some taps are already running low, so things will move fast.
MugiWhat is that, beer by weight? Like a candy shop for adults!? Saying 'just a little of everything' feels dangerously powerful.
Hop BroThat’s the beauty of it. If you order a 400 ml or 500 ml Mikkeller pour, you get a sticker or coaster too. I already want a glass in my hand.
MugiI am fully in for a tasting trip now! Start at 3 PM, chase the WCB anniversary taps, and finish with Aventinus like a champion.
Holiday-weekend hours
Beer pub Amber Rondo in Honcho, Aoba Ward, Sendai, will open at 3 p.m. on Sunday, July 19, and Monday, July 20. In its post, the shop says there are many kegs waiting to be tapped and recommends making a reservation if you already know you are coming or are traveling from afar.
The draw here is the pace and variety of the draft lineup. The measured-draft list includes Kirin "Ichiban Shibori Premium," Ishinomaki HW "Makikaze IPA," FARO "Joey XPA," Hop Dog's third-anniversary "Pineapple IPA," West Coast Brewing's seventh-anniversary "Firelight WC-IPA" and "Haze Alliance," GAME BREW & iBREW AKB "NEW GAME++," Cloudwater & West Coast Brewing "UMAMAMAM," Mikkeller "Burst IPA," and Schneider "Aventinus." Several kegs are marked as running low, so the list looks especially lively.
Also on tap are West Coast Brewing's "HAZY Triple IPA" and Cloudwater & West Coast Brewing's "DIPA," and orders of 400 ml or 500 ml of Mikkeller draft come with a sticker or coaster.
Amber Rondo is a craft-beer-focused bar at 2-13-11 Honcho, Aoba Ward, Sendai, on the first floor of La Ryuche Sendai. In addition to draft beer sold by the measure, the shop also offers bottled and canned beer plus food, making it a practical stop for tasting several beers in small pours. The post also notes that Amber Rondo will appear at the Sendai Craft Beer Festival zone during tbc Summer Festival in Kotodai Park on July 25-26, alongside more than 55 booths.
