After Minoh Pilsner Sells Out, Evolve Beer&Kitchen Taps URAWA CITY ALE and No Ketchup
On April 26, Evolve Beer&Kitchen in Mukojima, Sumida Ward added two new taps after the Minoh Pilsner (bottle) that arrived the day before sold out quickly. U.B.P BREWERY's URAWA CITY ALE and West Coast Brewing's No Ketchup joined the lineup.
Hop BroThat story about two new taps added in Mukojima, Sumida Ward really shows how hot Evolve Beer&Kitchen is. The Minoh Pilsner bottle that arrived the day before sold out fast, and that momentum pushed the taps into motion all at once.
MugiWhoa! That sellout momentum rolling straight into new beers sounds amazing, right? And now I really want to know what got tapped!
Hop BroWhat came in was URAWA CITY ALE and West Coast Brewing's No Ketchup. URAWA CITY ALE is U.B.P BREWERY's Nitro ver., so you can enjoy a fine, creamy head.
MugiWhat is that! Nitro ver. sounds like a complicated term! How is it different from regular beer?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a setup that gives you a smooth mouthfeel. Because it uses nitrogen, the foam becomes creamy, and the aroma and drinking experience tend to feel softer. It's the kind of beer that slides down gently rather than being gulped back.
MugiOh wow! Then what about No Ketchup? Just from the name, a Hazy Double IPA sounds rich and delicious!
Hop BroExactly, as a Hazy Double IPA, it has a cloudy appearance with bright hop character layered on top. It should deliver the bold aroma and satisfying depth West Coast Brewing is known for, and the contrast with URAWA CITY ALE is part of the fun.
MugiAnd the tap lineup as a whole is incredible! With such a wide lineup, it's hard to know where to start. Bellevalia and Tora Hachibiru sound fun too!
Hop BroThat's one of Evolve Beer&Kitchen's strengths. Because it ranges from pilsner to IPA, you can start light and finish strong, or choose based on your mood from lagers, saisons, and pale ales.
MugiWow, and the food is strong too! Having hearty snacks means you can go there for a meal, not just for drinks. The mala keema and seared beef tofu sound especially tempting!
Hop BroAnd being at the foot of Tokyo Skytree, it's great that you can use it from daytime into the evening. A Sunday daytime drink for a quick pint, then a slower session with food at night, fits perfectly there.
MugiNow I really want to go...! From daytime drinking to nighttime is basically the ideal weekend. I want to compare URAWA CITY ALE and No Ketchup side by side!
Hop BroThen it's settled. Make it a day of chasing the taps, starting with the Nitro's softness and finishing with the punch of the Hazy. Once you drink there, you'll probably want just one more pint.
On April 26, Evolve Beer&Kitchen was open from 13:00 to 22:00, and the plan to drink through the "Minoh Pilsner" (bottle) that began the previous day ended early. As welcome news for craft beer fans, two new taps were added that day.
The newly added beers were U.B.P BREWERY's "URAWA CITY ALE Nitro ver." and West Coast Brewing's "No Ketchup". The former was served in a nitro format, while the latter was added to the lineup as a Hazy Double IPA. Other beers on the taps included VERTERE's "Bellevalia - Bellvaria -", TOUCHDOWN x Taihu Brewing's "Tora Hachibiru", Repubrew x Heisei 3 Nen Kai's "AGE AGE SAME AGE", NOMCRAFT BREWING's "Banana Kick", Minoh Beer's "Honey Saison" and "Blooming IPA", Ushitora Brewery's "Ikeoji Pale Ale", Brasserie Knot's "WIND", and SAPPORO's "Kuro Label", giving the bar a broad lineup ranging from pilsner, lager, and dark lager to weizen, saison, pale ale, and IPA.
The food menu is built for drinking and eating well at the same time, with dishes like mala keema and crispy green peppers, house-roasted beef, seared beef tofu, jingisukan spring rolls, deep-fried taro with dashi, avocado and prosciutto cream cheese tempura, and Minato-ken chicken salt ramen. As a beer pub at the foot of Tokyo Skytree in Mukojima, Sumida Ward, it offers the pleasure of stopping by from midday and working through the tap list.
Including the hours, it is an easy place to use from Sunday daytime drinking through an evening pint. Centered on new craft beer taps, it is a place to enjoy beer together with the food.
