Craft Beer Server Land in Kagurazaka taps Shiroyama Brewery’s Lemongrass and Yamaguchi Beer IPA
Craft Beer Server Land in Kagurazaka, Tokyo, has announced its “Beer of the Day” for Sunday, June 7. The lineup features Lemongrass from Shiroyama Brewery and IPA from Yamaguchi Beer, with the beer pub opening from noon.
Hop BroKagurazaka has a good one today: two guest taps at Craft Beer Server Land. It's Shiroyama Brewery's Lemongrass and Yamaguchi Jibeer's IPA, and that pairing really works.
MugiWait, a lemongrass beer? Is that like tea-level fresh? The name alone already has me curious!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Lemongrass has a distinct aroma profile, with this gentle herbal freshness that lifts right out of the glass.
MugiHold on, aroma profile? What is that? Is the beer handing me a résumé before I drink it?
Hop BroNo résumé required. It's just the first smell you get when you bring the glass close. Brewers call it aroma, but basically it's the 'this already tastes good' moment.
MugiOhhh! Then the classic IPA from Yamaguchi Jibeer is more for people who want hop aroma and bitterness, right?
Hop BroExactly. This lineup makes the difference in direction really easy to notice. One is bright and herbal, and the other brings that IPA-style hop aroma and bitterness.
MugiIf I start at noon with those two, a beer debate in my head is definitely happening. 'Team fresh!' 'No, team bitter!'
Hop BroAnd the place itself is a basement beer pub in Kagurazaka, open from 12 p.m. Easy for one quick pint or a proper side-by-side tasting.
MugiNear the station, tucked underground, and open at noon? That's dangerously convenient... Now I need a strategy meeting on whether to start with Lemongrass or IPA.
Hop BroThe order is half the fun. I'd lead with Shiroyama's Lemongrass, then let Yamaguchi Jibeer's IPA come in with the hop punch after that.
MugiSettled. This is a compare-them-both day. I want the bright herbal side and the hoppy bitter side, no compromises.
