Eight taps centered on domestic lagers arrive at THE DODO HOUSE on March 29
Meguro beer pub Craft Beer & Wine THE DODO HOUSE has published its tap list for March 29. Today’s lineup features eight beers, including three newly tapped ones, offering a broad range from lagers to fruit beer, IPL, and Hazy IPA.
Hop BroTHE DODO HOUSE in Meguro has a really good tap list for March 29. With eight taps including three new ones, today has a strong lager-first vibe.
MugiWhoa! Even with eight taps, a lager focus? That’s so luxurious. Lagers are the crisp, easy-drinking kind, right?
Hop BroExactly. And the three new taps are Kankiku, Hideji, and Ishinomaki, all lager styles. When Kankiku Brewery, Miyazaki Hideji Beer, and Ishinomaki Hops Works line up like that, the list really has a solid core.
MugiOhhh! But what’s different about lager styles? I know the name, but it still feels kind of vague!
Hop BroSimply put, they’re fermented slowly at low temperatures, which makes them easier to finish with a sharp, clean drinking profile. So when you line up beers like Kankiku 99 Lager and Miyazaki Grapefruit White Lager, it becomes a setup that’s less tiring to drink through.
MugiThat sounds like something I could drink from lunchtime onward! Kankiku 99 Lager uses domestic malt and rice from Chiba, right? What does the rice do in it?
Hop BroRice lagers tend to come together in a crisp, light, and snappy way. They keep the malt sweetness while the rice sharpens the finish, so they’re really strong for hot days or as a first beer.
MugiThen what about Miyazaki Grapefruit White Lager? Just hearing “ripe grapefruit” makes it sound super juicy!
Hop BroYou can expect that. The citrusy fruit character comes through strongly, so the lager’s refreshing quality gets a bit of brightness on top. And Ishinomaki Sea Breeze IPL adds hop aroma while keeping a crisp finish, plus there’s Lemon Hazy IPA and Yuzu Oroshi Udon Hazy IPA, so there’s a lot to explore.
MugiWow, I like that it has both darker beers and hoppy ones. Baeren Schwarz and Cosmic Night sound tempting too. Stopping by after a walk along the Meguro River for the cherry blossoms would be perfect, right?
Hop BroExactly. Since it’s open from 2:00 p.m. to midnight, you can stop in for one during the day or settle in for a long night. Today is definitely one of those days that makes you want to toast with a lager after hanami.
MugiIt’s decided! I want to toast with lager and then work my way through the fruit beers and dark beers too! I’m planning my day around going out for drinks!
