CHICKEN BOY announces Minoh Beer Pale Ale guest tap
CHICKEN BOY, a beer pub in Nagoya's Imaike area, announced a guest pour of Minoh Beer Pale Ale on Instagram. The yakitori-focused shop also said it would open from 3:00 p.m. with happy hour available.
Hop BroLet’s start with today’s Imaike pour. CHICKEN BOY posted on Instagram that they’ve tapped Minoh Beer’s pale ale, with doors open from 3 p.m. and happy hour running too.
MugiWait, yakitori and craft beer together? That already sounds unbeatable. Opening at 3 p.m. makes it way too easy to just drift in!
Hop BroAnd CHICKEN BOY is a 2011 local fixture. It’s a small counter-style spot in Imaike where you can settle in with charcoal-grilled chicken and beer.
MugiNice! But what exactly is pale ale here? I know the name, but is it less intense than a big IPA?
Hop BroThat’s the point: aroma and drinkability stay in balance. You get hop character without it turning heavy, so it works really well with food.
MugiYou say it’s a food beer and suddenly you sound ultra serious. Food-friendly means it can keep doing its job through the whole meal, right?
Hop BroHonestly, that’s pretty close. Charcoal-roasted flavor plus chicken fat and the sweetness of tare all get lifted by the pale ale, and then you want another sip.
MugiSo it’s basically the perfect table host for yakitori. I could stop in for one drink and somehow still end up staying for three!
Hop BroAlso, this time it’s one guest beer only, which makes the draw super clear. The shop is fully non-smoking too, with a smoking area outside.
MugiThat settles it. Straight to happy hour for me, with grilled chicken on the side and a glass of Minoh Beer pale ale in hand.
Hop BroThen we’re basically toasting in Imaike already. CHICKEN BOY plus smoky yakitori and that pale ale is exactly the kind of pairing that makes you want to go now.
