Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress Taps DevilCraft's "Midnight Seduction"
Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Kawasaki, Kanagawa announced a new tap of DevilCraft's "Midnight Seduction" during its Saturday, April 4, 1:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m. service. Three World Beer Cup-winning beers were also on tap, and a takeout promotion was introduced.
Hop BroSo DevilCraft's Midnight Seduction is getting tapped at Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Musashi-Kosugi, right? The story is that a dark temptation is coming to a new tap during the Saturday, April 4, 1:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m. service.
MugiWhoa, the name already sounds intense! A 10.8% dark beer sounds like the kind of thing that would keep me wide awake until night!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. It's an imperial stout with a pitch-black look, layered with caramel, toffee, cacao, dark-roast coffee, and even dried-fruit notes like figs and raisins, so it's a pretty complex beer.
MugiWhat's an imperial stout? Is it the special kind that tastes better when an emperor drinks it? If it's rich and high in alcohol, it sounds like it takes some serious commitment!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's fine to think of it as stronger and richer than a regular stout. It has a firm sweet-bitter edge and roasted character, so the more slowly you drink it, the more it opens up.
MugiWhoa! And at Progress, there are supposed to be three World Beer Cup-winning beers on the board that day, right? Three award-winning beers sounds way too fancy a lineup!
Hop BroExactly. Besides Midnight Seduction, the tap list includes Isekadoya's Golden Dragon, which won bronze at the 2016 WBC, and Miyazaki Hideji's Taiyo no Lager, which won bronze at the 2023 WBC, so the spread runs from dark beers to lager nicely.
MugiI get the flow of finishing a rich dark beer with a lager! The bigger the contrast in the tasting lineup, the more your brain goes, "So good!"
Hop BroAnd Progress is both a beer pub and a bottle shop, open weekdays from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 1:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The 1:00 p.m. weekend opening is great if you want to start early.
MugiAnd draft beer for takeaway is 20% off on Wednesdays and Thursdays, right! If growlers are welcome and you can also take it home in cups or PET bottles from the shop, they're really taking care of the home-drinking crowd!
Hop BroCashless payments only and pet-friendly outdoor seating also feel very current. All right, today let's go hard from dark beer to lager at Progress, and then finish with the two of us raising a quiet toast with Midnight Seduction.
