Bakushu Yumemi to Serve YOROCCO x GOODSPEED's Smoke Pils on May 21
The beer pub Bakushu Yumemi in Gion, Kyoto, will offer a smoke pils in a LUKR tower on Thursday, May 21, for its "Every Thursday is Maniac Beer Day" event. On tap by the glass, Noroshi Brewing's "Kinkan Brett Saison" will also be available.
Hop BroToday’s topic is the beer pub Bakushu Yumemi in Kyoto’s Gion district. On Thursday, May 21, a pretty adventurous guest keg is coming in.
MugiWhoa! Yumemi already sounds delicious...! And a Thursday-only pour feels way too special!
Hop BroExactly. The shop’s event is Every Thursday is Maniac Beer Day. This week they’re even saying, "There will be no Yebisu beer served today," so the lineup is especially maniacal.
MugiWhy does not having Yebisu make me even more excited!? But being told it’s maniacal makes it feel a little scary too...!
Hop BroThe main beer is YOROCCO and GOODSPEED's Smoke Pils. It’s a commemorative beer celebrating the 10th anniversary of Taiyo Sakaba, and the fact that it was made by people who love Czech lager culture is another reason it’s hot.
MugiWhen I hear smoke, I picture something like smoked bacon! But it’s a pils, right? What does focused on drinkability mean?
Hop BroInstead of putting smoke front and center, the design lightly layers aroma onto the pils’s crisp character. And it’s finished with natural carbonation, so even the texture of the foam will hit for lager fans.
MugiWhat is that, being able to talk about the foam too is too strong! And the LUKR tower is the one that pours it in a Czech-style way, right?
Hop BroExactly. Because it’s poured from the LUKR tower, the balance between fine foam and liquid is beautiful. And there’s also Noroshi Brewing's Kinkan Brett Saison available by the glass, so the aroma goes in a completely different direction.
MugiKinkan, Brett, and saison!? There’s so much information my brain is foaming! But if it’s said to be excellent as a food-pairing beer, I suddenly want to drink it with dinner!
Hop BroAnd it’s 1,000 yen a glass, with a slightly generous pour. It’s easy for one person to finish, and the fact that you can drop in without a reservation is nice too.
MugiWhoa, that’s the best! If solo drinkers are welcome, I can go without feeling intimidated, and lager in Gion on a Thursday night is basically reason enough to go drinking!
Hop BroThen tonight, you’d toast with the Smoke Pils and finish with the Kinkan Brett Saison. A single drink in Gion really does make it hard not to want to go.
A Thursday-Only Pour
Bakushu Yumemi (Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City) will hold "Every Thursday is Maniac Beer Day" from 5:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 21. In a post, the bar says, "There will be no Yebisu beer served today," while noting that this week’s draft lineup will also be put together in a "maniac" way.
The draft beer poured from the LUKR tower that day will be a smoke pils brewed by YOROCCO and GOODSPEED. Made by two producers who favor Czech lager culture, it is a commemorative beer celebrating the 10th anniversary of Taiyo Sakaba, and rather than pushing the smoke character strongly to the fore, it is designed to highlight the drinkability of pils. Its natural carbonation finish is another detail lager fans will not want to miss.
For glass service, they will offer Noroshi Brewing's commemorative beer, "Kinkan Brett Saison." It layers Brett onto a saison, and the post emphasizes how well it pairs as a food drink. At 1,000 yen per glass, the pour is a little generous, making it easy for one person to finish.
The bar is promoting itself with "No large groups, solo drinkers welcome," and it does not take reservations. As a Thursday operation where you can stop by for a single drink in a corner of Gion without any fuss, it quietly lets you enjoy the character of both lagers and saisons.
