Yatsugatake Brewery TTO to Pre-Release Three Beers at Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda
At Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda, the Yatsugatake Brewery tap takeover event "Ten Two Days" will be held on May 30 and 31. Three beers - Rocksmoke Helles, Kiyosato IPL, and TY Brothers' Apple Sour - will be tapped in advance, and Tentsu-san is scheduled to visit on both days.
Hop BroThe upcoming Ten Two Days means Yatsugatake Brewery's TTO is coming to Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda, right?
MugiWait, what's a TTO? You mean a tap takeover?
Hop BroExactly. It's an event where the brewery takes over the taps all at once. This time there are three advance releases on tap: Rocksmoke Helles, Kiyosato IPL, and TY Brothers' Apple Sour.
MugiRocksmoke Helles sounds intense just from the name... what kind of flavor is a smoky Helles?
Hop BroThey use smoked malt, so along with the toasty character, you get a gentle smoky nuance. And since it's a Helles, it's not too heavy, so it's perfect with food.
MugiI see! So what's so great about Kiyosato IPL? Using only Cascade hops feels pretty uncompromising!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: because it uses only Cascade from Kiyosato, the aroma and bitterness come through very directly. It has the crispness of a lager with hop character on top - an IPL with hops in the spotlight.
MugiThere's even an apple sour!? With apple juice in it, does it taste kind of like juice even though it's beer?
Hop BroThe base is Weizen, so the soft mouthfeel layers nicely with the apple's tartness. It's a collaboration with T.Y.HARBOR Brewery, so you should get to enjoy that refreshing sourness clearly.
MugiAnd Tentsu-san will be there both days too! Getting to talk directly with the brewer is so exciting as a drinker.
Hop BroOn May 30 it's expected to run from around 2:00 p.m. until closing, and on the 31st from around noon until 7:00 p.m., and it's easy to get to inside Whity Umeda NOMOKA. Pair it with Italian snacks and kiln-fired pizza, and it gets pretty dangerous.
MugiAnd if you pay in cash for over 3,000 yen, you even get a 5% discount coupon for next time - now I really want to keep going back!
Hop BroMay 31 is also head chef Fujii's last day, so these two days have a bit of a milestone feel too. At this point, one glass won't be enough, so let's go early.
MugiYeah, let's start with Rocksmoke Helles and finish with the Apple Sour! A tasting session is a must!
Three Beers Will Be Available Early
At Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda, the two-day event "Yatsugatake Brewery Tap Takeover Ten Two Days" will be held on May 30 and 31. The post announces three event beers that will be tapped in advance, and the lineup already available at the bar includes three distinct bottles.
Beers You Can Drink
- Rocksmoke Helles
A Helles-style beer made with smoked malt, offering toasted aromas and smoky nuances. An easy-drinking beer that also pairs well with meals.
- Kiyosato IPL
An IPL made using only Cascade hops from Kiyosato. It delivers the crispness typical of a lager, along with a firm hop aroma and bitterness.
- TY Brothers' Apple Sour
A fruit sour beer made with apple juice in collaboration with T.Y.HARBOR Brewery. Based on a Weizen, it is characterized by its refreshing tartness.
Tentsu-san's Visit Time
Tentsu-san is scheduled to visit on both days. On Saturday the 30th, the visit is expected to last from around 2:00 p.m. until closing, and on Sunday the 31st, from around noon until 7:00 p.m. It looks like a good opportunity to talk directly with the brewer while enjoying the beer.
About the Venue
The Whity Umeda location, where the event will be held, is a beer pub inside Whity Umeda NOMOKA. It is conveniently accessible directly from Higashi-Umeda Station and Umeda Station, and its strengths are its versatility and its menu centered on Italian snacks that pair well with craft beer and kiln-fired pizza. Even though it is in an underground shopping area, it is also very much like this shop to put the brewer's personality front and center during events.
The post also says that customers who pay in cash for bills of 3,000 yen or more will receive a 5% discount coupon usable on their next visit, and it announces that May 31 will be the final day of work for head chef Fujii. These two days seem likely to be a milestone for the shop as well as for the beer.
