Hop BroTAP ROOM 99 in Chiba is announcing Golden Week daytime drinking with a 3 p.m. opening. Since it's directly operated by KANKIKU BREWERY, the combination of fresh beer and food is pretty interesting.
MugiWhat, beer from the afternoon? That's basically a holiday win!
Hop BroAnd the best part is that the menu starts at 480 yen. Both the beer and food are easy to try, so it's perfect for a pre-crawl drink.
MugiWhat? 480-yen food? Is it really okay to be that good a deal?
Hop BroThe highlight is the Peanut Butter Truffle Chocolate. It's sweet and salty with salt and pepper from Kujukuri, and because it uses BALMY PILSNER inside, it's not just a regular dessert.
MugiWhat, BALMY PILSNER inside the chocolate!? Beer isn't just for drinking anymore... it can go inside things too!
Hop BroExactly. BALMY PILSNER is a crisp pilsner, so it blends well without overpowering the aroma. Its mellow malt character and the hop snap still come through behind the sweetness.
MugiWow! So it's a pretty strong sweet-and-salty snack too. It feels like it's going after both beer lovers and dessert lovers!
Hop BroThe post also recommends STOUT as another pairing. Its roasty character and bitterness tighten up the chocolate's sweetness, so it's a really solid pairing.
MugiWhoa, finishing with dark beer is the best! This makes me want to go to TAP ROOM 99 during Golden Week and try both BALMY PILSNER and STOUT!
Golden Week Operating Hours
TAP ROOM 99, the directly operated taproom of KANKIKU BREWERY (1F/2F, Daisan Yamazaki Building, 2-13-12 Fujimi, Chuo Ward, Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture), announced its Golden Week hours and new food items on Instagram. In the post, the shop said it will open earlier than usual at 3 p.m. from May 2 to May 6, inviting customers to spend a relaxed afternoon there.
Food and Beer Starting at 480 Yen
The post introduced beer and food menu items available from 480 yen. One of the nine 480-yen food items is Peanut Butter Truffle Chocolate. It is finished with a sweet-salty balance using salt and pepper from Kujukuri, and the truffle chocolate contains plenty of BALMY PILSNER. The suggestion to pair craft beer with sweets also makes it an easy choice as a post-meal treat.
Beers to Pair With It
The post recommends pairing the peanut butter truffle chocolate with BALMY PILSNER itself, and also mentions STOUT, which goes well with chocolate. Pairing it with a dark beer that has bitterness and roast notes tightens up the sweetness and makes it easier to balance with the food. Being able to enjoy it with the beer you like is part of the appeal of a brewery-operated taproom.
