Beer Pub Nekotoazarashi in Mitaka announced its lineup for Saturday, April 18, from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. South Aizu Mountain Brewing's "Aizu Yamajio Suppe (Gose w/Yamajio)" has been newly tapped, and the lineup of 10 taps includes Hideji Beer, Y Market, and Sankt Gallen.
Hop BroAt Beer Pub Nekotoazarashi in Mitaka, Aizu Yamajio Suppe is newly on tap on Saturday, April 18. It's a gose from South Aizu Mountain Brewing, and it's definitely one to watch.
MugiWhat! Gose w/Yamajio? I kind of get that salt is involved, but isn't beer with salt too salty?
Hop BroGood catch. It uses Aizu mountain salt and coriander from Minami-Aizu, and it's a style that layers herbal aromas with citrus notes and a crisp salt finish. Rather than being salty, the salt helps sharpen the flavor.
MugiOhhh! So the crispness from the salt is what makes the beer feel like it can suddenly get its act together. And with coriander too, it somehow feels like a super stylish drink!
Hop BroWhat's more, there are 10 taps that day, so the lineup is especially good for tasting side by side. With Hideji Beer, Y Market, Sankt Gallen, and Yokohama Beer all on tap, the range of flavors is wide.
MugiWow, 10 taps in total is great! But just reading the names makes me feel full. Figuring out where to start is a trial for someone as indecisive as me.
Hop BroIf you want to start light, the Kyushu Craft Kinkan Fruit Ale or Sankt Gallen's Shonan Gold would be good entry points. From there, moving toward Hima Bitter or Alt makes the flavor contours easier to see.
MugiHima Bitter already sounds interesting from the name alone! Bitter doesn't just mean bitter, right? It sounds like some kind of training exercise where you make a face while drinking!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: Ordinary Bitter isn't just about bitterness. It's a style for appreciating the balance of malt aroma and drinkability. Since there are also Plank Brewery's Festbier and KIX BEER's Weizenbock, comparing the character of the malt is fun too.
MugiSo you can even see the expression of the malt! If we spend the afternoon drinking and comparing beers at Beer Pub Nekotoazarashi in Mitaka, that would be perfect.
Hop BroAnd since the April closing days are the 19th, 20th, and 27th, it's easy to aim for the Saturday business days. Phone reservations are available too, and since it's open from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., I'd want to take my time and enjoy everything from the first drink to the last.
MugiYeah, my head is already full of beer! From Aizu Yamajio Suppe to the tasting lineup, this is definitely a place where both of us are ready to toast already!
