Hop BroAt torne_craftbeer in Tenjinbashisuji Rokuchome, Osaka, there’s news of one new keg on tap. A collab IPA from Himitsu Beer and AL BEER STAND has come in.
MugiWhat! A collab IPA already sounds strong, and the name is Shima the Citrus Kaiju. What is that! It sounds like a monster is about to start hurling citrus at us!
Hop BroThe interesting part is that it’s brewed with cherry salmon, but they’ve kept any fishiness out of it. The idea is bold, but the finish still lands squarely as beer.
MugiCherry salmon is a fish, right? Huh, in beer? But if there’s no fishy smell, that actually makes me more curious!
Hop BroThe aroma brings to mind mango and peach, layered with citrus from hassaku. The point is how it softens and rounds out the bright, IPA-like character.
MugiOhh, loads of fruit sounds delicious! And with that smooth mouthfeel, it seems like something you could gulp right down, doesn't it?
Hop BroWhat’s even better is the announcement that the super tasty stout is back after being on hiatus. A place with a full lineup of kegs makes you want to swing by, with both dark beers and lighter ones on hand.
MugiWhat, the stout is back! That alone is exciting, and if it’s a perfect match with the food there, this is the kind of place where one drink just won’t be enough!
Hop BroAnd since it’s a beer pub close to the station, the fact that you can stop in for a quick drink is a big plus. The broccoli steak has also been renewed, so even the snacks are on point.
MugiThat’s the best! If there’s even a beer and cheese pairing event on April 11, then I’ve basically got no choice but to clear my schedule!
Hop BroBottom line, torne_craftbeer is in a really fun spot right now with its collab IPA and dark beer. Once you drink there, you’ll probably want cheese and one more round too.
MugiYeah, just reading this makes my throat want a drink! I’m already in the mood for my first beer of the day, thinking about beer and cheese!
