MugiWait, what! You go out for beer and then a storyteller appears too? That is way too much fun for one evening!
Hop BroAnd the star of it is their collab beer with Hinomaru Kanda, Bakushu Yakou: Hyakki no Kuro. It’s a coffee porter, and they saved the final keg for that night.
MugiWhat even is a coffee porter? That sounds like morning energy and bedtime vibes fighting each other!
Hop BroA porter is a dark beer with roasted malt character, and this one uses coffee beans from Ryoke Green Gables in Ageo, so think of it as a toasty dark beer with coffee layered in.
MugiOhh, so while listening to ghost stories you also get coffee aroma drifting through the room? My ears and nose are both fully booked!
Hop BroExactly. Nutori Brewing runs small tanks in a 50-year-old apartment building, and their attached eatery even serves hearty beer food to match the house brews.
MugiAnd payment at the venue is 2,000 yen plus drink money, cash only? My wallet needs advance notice immediately!
Hop BroThey also take reservations at the shop, and this stop is the finale of Kanda’s eight-venue ghost-story tour with the beer in hand, so it’s clearly built to make you want another after the show.
MugiA ghost-story performance followed by the last keg pour is the perfect nightcap. At this point, my thirst is already on its way to Kawaguchi!
