Anton Bee Ryudomachi Branch Taps Five on 4/7, Including Minoh and Mother Road
At Anton Bee Roppongi's Ryudomachi branch, five beers were tapped on April 7, including Minoh's MUGICHA Bitter and Mother Road's Tower Station IPA, timed for the evening after the rain. Eleven taps, including cider and hard tea, were on offer, making it an easy place to stop by after work.
Hop BroTonight's topic is five new taps at the Ryudomachi branch. CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi has lined up 11 taps that are just right for a night after the rain.
MugiWhat? 11 taps is too many! If I stopped by after work, I'd probably sit down before I even chose one!
Hop BroOne of the stars is Minoh's MUGICHA Bitter. It's toasty like barley tea, and even though it's bitter, it goes down smoothly. It's a slightly Japanese-style pint.
MugiBarley tea bitter!? Beer made from barley tea? What does that even mean! My brain can't decide whether it's tea or beer!
Hop BroBasically, it puts the malty toastiness front and center. Then the hop bitterness rides on top of that, so it comes across as toasty and bitter. The name really fits the image well.
MugiI see! Then Left Hand's Milk Stout is kind of gentle even though it's a dark beer? The name "milk" makes it sound a little sweet, so I'm curious!
Hop BroExactly. The milk stout was described as a classic mellow dark beer. It has richness, but the edges are soft, so it's the kind of dark beer that's easy for beginners to get into.
MugiAnd Mother Road has Tower Station IPA plus Limited Visibility as a hazy too!? Today's a total hop traffic jam!
Hop BroTower Station IPA is a classic IPA with a firm bitterness, while Limited Visibility is a fruity hazy with a strong fruit character. It's fun that the same brewery can show such different sides.
MugiAnd Ace's Joker Dry is a cider made with champagne yeast, right? And there's hard tea too? This is basically a tasting festival!
Hop BroExactly. The strength here is that in the basement of Roppongi, you can both drop in for one drink after work and take your time comparing several styles. This is definitely the kind of place you want to visit after the rain.
MugiYep, today is one of those nights where just one quick drink turns dangerous! I end up wanting to go through MUGICHA Bitter, then IPA, and finish with hard tea!
