PUB Karr in Kyoto adds Toyama’s NAT BREW, with FLORA FERMENTATION on tap
On July 22, PUB Karr in Kyoto announced a new arrival from Toyama’s NAT BREW: an Strawberry Milkshake IPA. The day’s tap list also includes NAT BREW’s Kawaii is justice, FLORA FERMENTATION’s Cascara and Utsurobone, plus Asahi Maruefu.
Hop BroPUB Karr in Kyoto has a fresh topic tonight: Toyama's NAT BREW just showed up with a Strawberry Milkshake IPA I really want to talk about.
MugiWait, that name already sounds like dessert! NAT BREW's first visit there is kind of a big deal, huh?
Hop BroIt is. PUB Karr introduced them as a Toyama brewery making their first appearance, and the tap list even includes Kawaii is justice.
MugiHold on, what even is a Milkshake IPA? My brain says beer, but my ears say cafe menu!
Hop BroIt's an IPA built to feel creamy and fruity, so the hops come off softer and sweeter. Basically, it's extra strawberry energy in beer form.
MugiOhh, that actually sounds beginner-friendly. And on the same night they also have two FLORA taps? That's greedy in the best way.
Hop BroExactly, it's a great tasting lineup. You can compare Cascara and Utsurobone, then reset with Maruefu in a four-beer sequence that really works.
MugiReset with beer? Why did you make it sound like a sauna routine! Still, having Maruefu on standby does make the whole thing feel safe.
Hop BroThat's the smart part. PUB Karr is easy to drop into in central Kyoto, and starting with NAT BREW turns one stop into a no-bar-hop course.
MugiThat sounds perfect! Start with the strawberry milkshake IPA, widen out with FLORA, then call it a Kyoto one-stop flight.
Hop BroTonight's fun is getting stuck on what to order first. I'd open with the new NAT BREW without hesitation.
MugiI've already decided! The name alone got me, so I'm raising a glass with Strawberry Milkshake IPA first.
PUB Karr, a beer pub in Kyoto’s Nakagyo Ward, posted on July 22 that it would open at 18:00 and introduced a new guest beer from Toyama’s NAT BREW, a Strawberry Milkshake IPA. The post notes that NAT BREW is appearing at the shop for the first time, which makes the arrival especially notable for regular guest-beer watchers.
The tap list for the day is:
- NAT BREW: Kawaii is justice (new)
- FLORA FERMENTATION: Cascara
- FLORA FERMENTATION: Utsurobone
- Asahi: Maruefu
Alongside the new IPA, the lineup mixes in FLORA FERMENTATION’s two beers and a familiar Asahi pour, giving drinkers a range of styles to compare in one visit. It is a compact but varied selection that should work well for anyone who wants to move from a new guest beer to more established choices.
Located in central Kyoto, PUB Karr is the kind of beer pub where changing taps are part of the appeal. Starting with the new NAT BREW release and working through the rest of the lineup offers a straightforward way to experience different expressions of craft beer in a single stop.
