Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae reveals six taps featuring WCB and DD4D
Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae in Sumida Ward, Tokyo, has posted its latest tap list on Instagram. The lineup includes West Coast Brewing's "Starwatcher" alongside distinctive offerings from domestic breweries such as Revo Brewing, DD4D BREWING, and Nomcraft Brewing.
Hop BroHey Mugi, "Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae," which sits between Ryogoku and Kuramae, is serving six beers under TODAY'S ON TAP. Starwatcher, Oceania IPA, and even My Secret Lemon Trees 3 are on the list, so they're going pretty hard, right?
MugiWhoa, all six sound packed with character! Just hearing West Coast Brewing sounds strong, but what kind of beer is Starwatcher?
Hop BroStarwatcher is a West Coast IPA, the kind with a crisp, assertive bitterness. It tends to show piney and citrusy aromas, and when you drink it, it gives you that "this is hops!" feeling.
MugiUgh, you're talking about hops again! But isn't it just bitter? There are so many complicated words that my brain is turning into foam!
Hop BroFair point, it can be confusing. For example, DD4D BREWING's My Secret Lemon Trees 3 is a Citrus Hazy DIPA, so it's all about a cloudy mouthfeel, lemon-like aroma, and juicy flavor.
MugiOhhh, a juicy-style beer might work for me too! And the name about lemon trees is sneaky, like pretending to be a stylish cafe when it's actually beer!
Hop BroWhat's more interesting is that it also has Revo Brewing's Oceania IPA, Nomcraft Brewing's Ordinary Bitter, and BrewBeast Brewery's BOTTOMLESS. The tasting range is wide, so you can play around by going from bitter beers to lighter ones in sequence.
MugiWait, they even have Bitter and Kolsch? If there's a lighter drink, I can probably make it to the end even while putting up with your hopped-up monologue!
Hop BroAnd the best part is that the shop's signature is all-you-can-drink with no time limit. The Light Plan lets you enjoy bottles and cans through self-service, and the VIP Plan includes six domestic draft taps, so it's strong for a day when you want to settle in and drink slowly.
MugiThat's amazing! If I can choose with self-service, I'll start with something lemony, then go for something light, and finish with something bitter for the adventure! And they even have fried chicken, so they're clearly trying to make us drink!
Hop BroOn top of that, they also have TAP TAKEOVER events lined up: KAIGAN BREWERY on May 23, a brewery in Kyoto on June 13, and WCB CAN SHARE NIGHT on June 27. Just thinking about the next drink already makes my throat want one.
MugiExactly! If we toast in Ryogoku-Kuramae, we'll both end up wanting to go right away. Today, I just want to start with Starwatcher and work my way through the lineup!
