GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido taps South Aizu Mountain Brewing's '100'
On June 12, GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido introduced South Aizu Mountain Brewing's '100' as a guest real ale. The 10% Scotch Ale marks the brewery's 100th batch and looks like a natural fit with fish and chips.
Hop BroToday’s topic is that GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido just tapped the anniversary beer '100' from Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing.
MugiWhat! So it’s the 100th batch? Naming it just '100' is ridiculously bold!
Hop BroExactly, and it’s a 10% Scotch Ale with the label 100/- (100 Shilling). This is the kind of beer that leads with malt depth.
MugiHold on, 100 shilling sounds like money. Do I need a currency exchange before I order this?!
Hop BroIt’s an old naming system, basically a rich ale classification. In plain terms, it means full-bodied, deep, and seriously satisfying.
MugiOhhh, so this isn’t a quick chugger, it’s more about slowly savoring the malt!
Hop BroExactly. The post even called it NEW REAL ALE, so instead of sharp fizz, you get more rounded malt aroma and softness.
MugiReal ale sounds like beer from the real world with boss-level power. So what actually makes it different?
Hop BroIt finishes naturally in the cask, which often gives it a softer mouthfeel. That works beautifully with freshly fried fish and potatoes.
MugiA tiny counter-only pub, staring at five taps, eating fish and drinking that... that’s basically a reward scene from a movie.
Hop BroThat’s why it fits the bar’s atmosphere so well. You can drop into Kameido, settle in, and enjoy a milestone beer without any fuss.
MugiNow I seriously want fish and chips with '100' tonight. That sounds like the perfect slow, happy toast.
On June 12, GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido announced South Aizu Mountain Brewing's '100' as a guest beer. In the post, the pub described it as a new real ale. The beer is a Scotch Ale brewed for the brewery's 100th batch, with an ABV of 10%. It is also identified as '100/-' or '100 Shilling'.\n\nGRANDPA FISH & CHIPS is a small beer pub with counter seating only, serving craft beer from five taps alongside fish and chips. That makes a strong malt-forward Scotch Ale a practical and interesting choice for the food here. The crisp batter, fried fish, and potatoes should give the beer a clear stage for its malt depth and warming strength.\n\nSouth Aizu Mountain Brewing is known for producing distinctive beers from Minamiaizu in Fukushima. '100' is especially notable because it celebrates the brewery's 100th batch with a simple, direct name. Rather than chasing flash, it reads as a beer built for slow sipping and for pairing with food in a compact neighborhood pub setting.\n\nFor drinkers heading to Kameido, this is the kind of update that makes a stop at GRANDPA worth planning around: a focused tap list, a fish-and-chips menu, and a milestone Scotch Ale on the guest line.
