Nighttime tap list at Hamamatsucho SOUL BIRD: four kegs tapped, with more on deck, including Dark Mild Ale
Cafe & CraftBeer Dining SOUL BIRD (Hamamatsucho) released its tap info for April 21. The lineup includes Kanpai! x Matsumoto Brewery's Dark Mild Ale, fete Mishima Brewery's Coffee Stout, open air's Hazy IPA, TAROS's DIPA, and two more kegs are also waiting in the wings.
Hop BroHamamatsucho's SOUL BIRD tap info is seriously hot today. With four kegs tapping and two more waiting in the wings, it's pretty much a dream setup for a night beer pub.
MugiWhoa, four kegs plus two more!? That's the kind of menu that makes you look at it and instantly think, "I'm not going home tonight!"
Hop BroThe highlight is Kanpai! x Matsumoto Brewery's Gekizaka Dark Mild Ale. It has the roasted aroma of dark malt and a smooth mouthfeel, so even though it's not flashy, it builds on you with every sip.
MugiDark malt? I'm curious about the source of that roasty aroma! Is it like toasted bread? But being "smooth" while dark is such a cheat.
Hop BroExactly. In rough terms, it's roasted malt. Next up, fete Mishima Brewery's Lilac Coffee Stout has notes of coffee and bitter chocolate, with a long sweet-bitter finish.
MugiCoffee and bitter chocolate! That's a dessert-like pour. Even though it's beer, it has the face of a late-night cafe. That's almost unfair!
Hop BroThe hop side doesn't miss either. open air's cosmic tiger is a Hazy IPA with Mosaic and Citra, and aromas like lychee, orange, and white grape spread out softly.
MugiLychee, orange, white grape!? That's a traffic jam of fruit! And the fact that "Hazy" means murky but still beloved makes it basically the idol of the beer world!
Hop BroThere's also TAROS's TEMPEST DIPA. It has aromas like peach, pear, and amber candy, then finishes with a sharp bitterness, so it packs a serious punch.
MugiA Double IPA sounds strong just from the name! If it has a crisp bitterness, then the gap with the sweet aroma makes it even more tempting. And that Belgian white with sansho sounds interesting too...!
Hop BroWith Yamaguchi no Mugi, SHIJUKARA, Viburnum, and Take A Hike all on the list, today is a beer tasting paradise. They apparently welcome guests after 9 p.m. too, so stopping by Hamamatsucho after work for a drink sounds perfect.
MugiI can't take it anymore, tonight's first drink is decided! Start with the Dark Mild, then the Coffee Stout, and finish with a hop explosion, and both of us will be grinning all the way home!
The Hamamatsucho beer pub "Cafe & CraftBeer Dining SOUL BIRD" has released its tap list for April 21. The post says that, in addition to four kegs going on tap, two more are scheduled to be tapped.
Today's highlight is Kanpai! x Matsumoto Brewery's Gekizaka Dark Mild Ale. This is a beer characterized by the roasted aroma derived from dark malt and its smooth mouthfeel; rather than flashy, it's the kind that reveals its charm the more you drink it. Next, Lilac Coffee Stout is a coffee stout from fete Mishima Brewery, with notes of roasted malt, coffee, and bitter chocolate.
Hop-forward options are well represented too. open air's cosmic tiger is a Hazy IPA combining Mosaic and Citra, with aromas said to evoke lychee, orange, and white grape. TAROS's TEMPEST is a Double IPA, memorable for aromas of peach, pear, and amber candy, plus a crisp bitterness that lingers at the finish.
Also on tap, Yamaguchi Beer’s Yamaguchi no Mugi is a Pilsner; Forest Brewing’s SHIJUKARA is a Belgian White using yuzu and sansho; Vertere x Inkhorn’s Viburnum combines boysenberry sour with white chocolate. In addition, Range x Mountain Culture’s Take A Hike is also tapped in and introduced as a DDH IPA.
SOUL BIRD is a beer pub in the Hamamatsucho Station area, and it also offers practical conveniences such as semi-private rooms, private bookings, and a projector. It seems suited not only for taking your time with food and drinks, but also for nights when you want to compare beers one by one after work. The post also says guests are welcome after 9 p.m., so there is some fun in dropping by later and seeing how much of the keg remains.
