On May 18, Kichijoji's BEER MARROW introduced its new collaboration beer with Hansharo Beer, 'M SHAKE MATCHA.' It also shared the current eight-tap lineup, including beers from DD4D, Uchu, and BLACK TIDE.
Hop BroBEER MARROW's tap info in Kichijoji is especially interesting today. They've got the new 'M SHAKE MATCHA,' and you can even see the current eight-tap lineup.
MugiWait, what's 'M SHAKE MATCHA'?! Just hearing about a matcha beer makes my head feel all sweet and floaty!
Hop BroIt's Hansharo Beer's *Matcha Milk Shake Ale*, with an ABV of 7.0%. The key point is that it's a collaboration with IBREW and uses matcha from their own tea fields.
MugiTheir own tea fields is amazing, but what do you mean by a 'milkshake-like beer'? Is it like a relative of matcha latte?
Hop BroPretty close. They use lactose and oats to give it a creamy mouthfeel, so instead of just bitterness, the umami of the matcha spreads gently.
MugiOhhh! I thought it might be candy-like, but it's the kind of beer you can enjoy with food. It sounds like it would go well with matcha tempura too!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part, and the lineup is pretty bold too. From DD4D's *Sour IPA* to UCHU's rich one, you can really feel the pub's mood right now.
MugiThat sounds fun! The *current eight-tap lineup* is basically already a party before you even choose. And with Tap 3 still on the way, it's exciting!
Hop BroExactly. Tap 3 is listed as *Sorry, coming soon.* so it sounds like it's in the middle of a changeover. I love that 'something's still coming' feeling; it gives a beer bar that live-event vibe.
MugiWow, and BEER MARROW is easy to walk to from Kichijoji Station too! Being on the 4th floor makes it feel like a secret base, which is great!
Hop BroIt has 14 seats inside, but with standing room it can hold over 20 people, and I like that it feels like a *4th-floor beer pub in the middle of town*. It's the kind of place that makes you want to keep following new releases and end up having one more drink.
MugiYeah, today I definitely want to try that whole *matcha milkshake* feeling! First M SHAKE MATCHA, then a Hazy style, and before I know it I'll be on my second glass!
Hop BroThat's the plan. Let's raise a glass at BEER MARROW today and take our time following the matcha umami and the changing taps.
The beer pub BEER MARROW in Kichijoji Honcho shared its tap information for May 18. In the post, the bar said it was open on a Monday for the first time in a while in preparation for weekend TV filming, and revealed today's tap list.
