Beer Pub Neko to Azarashi Publishes April 3 Tap List: 10 Beers Including Shiga Kogen and Sankt Gallen
Beer Pub Neko to Azarashi in Mitaka has released its tap list for Friday, April 3. Ten beers, including Beer Hearn, Shiga Kogen Beer, KIX BEER, and Sankt Gallen, are on the lineup, along with prep notes for the spring menu.
Hop BroMitaka’s Beer Pub Neko to Azarashi has released its tap list for Friday, April 3. They’ve lined up 10 beers from Beer Hearn to Sankt Gallen, and the way they turn the small size of the place into a densely packed lineup is just irresistible.
MugiWait, 10 taps in a small, counter-centered bar? That sounds like the moment you walk in and immediately have the problem of “what am I drinking today?”
Hop BroExactly. And leading the list is Yen Musubi Bakushu Stout. It’s a Beer Hearn stout with that roasted character, the kind of beer that makes you want to linger over your first pint.
MugiPeople always say stout has a roasted character, but does that mean it tastes kind of coffee-like? It already sounds like a different drink even though it’s beer!
Hop BroPretty much. The malt is roasted thoroughly, so you get that toasty aroma. Then they’ve got Shiga Kogen Beer’s pale ale and Hazy IPA on top of that, so the range swings widely across bitterness and aroma.
MugiOhh! SNOW MONKYE IPA has such a curious name too, and Hazy IPA is the cloudy kind, right? It already looks like it tastes all soft and hazy!
Hop BroRight. Hazy styles bring hop aroma to the front while keeping the mouthfeel soft. On top of that, they’ve got KIX BEER’s Weizenbock and Ogna’s Apple Hop, so it’s interesting how the lineup also creates a flow from grain to fruit.
MugiWhat! Apple Hop means it has apples in it and still has hop character too? I kind of love that kind of overachiever beer!
Hop BroThey also have Sankt Gallen’s whey sour ale. Whey is the liquid byproduct of cheese making, and sour means it’s in the tart style. So it’s a beer that gets its bright acidity from an ingredient you might think of as a cheese-making leftover.
MugiNice, I’m glad they’re also working on the spring menu. Bringing back red ten chample, plus chili beans, marinated grilled mushrooms, and sardine spring rolls, is enough to make my stomach growl before I even start drinking!
Hop BroAnd Shiga Kogen Beer’s pale ale is marked as limited, so anyone with a target beer in mind should go early. Pair that with the spring food and 10 taps, and this is definitely not the kind of night where one drink in Mitaka is enough.
MugiYeah, it makes me want to take a detour through Mitaka at night! If you drink at Neko to Azarashi, I bet both the beer and the food will keep you from stopping.
