Bakushuya Pogology Taps Shiga Kogen Beer's "SNOW MONKEY IPA" for Golden Week Service
The beer pub Bakushuya Pogology in Chuo Ward, Osaka, announced its Golden Week operating schedule. The new tap is Shiga Kogen Beer’s "SNOW MONKEY IPA Silver Label ver.", alongside a diverse lineup that includes Oni Densetsu, Minoh Beer, and Kyoto Brewing.
Hop BroThe beer pub Bakushuya Pogology in Andoji-cho, Chuo Ward, Osaka, has announced its Golden Week hours. And it opens at 3 p.m. today, so it’s clearly ready to catch the lunch-drinking crowd on the holiday.
MugiWait, 3 p.m. opening? That’s early! During a long holiday, before you know it, daytime turns into nighttime, so this is basically a schedule made for beer!
Hop BroThe new tap is Shiga Kogen Beer’s SNOW MONKEY IPA Silver Label ver. Just from the name, it sounds like a snow-covered monkey is carving down the mountain, but in reality it’s an IPA that really brings out the hop aroma.
MugiSilver Label ver.? What is that! Is Silver Label ver. stronger than gold? Or is it one of those, “We’re a little extra shiny today” things?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it’s basically a different version with a different label of the same beer. The impression can change a little depending on the edition, and tasting them side by side is fun because you can see the brewery’s playful side.
MugiI see! And having 15 taps all jammed together is amazing! Oni Densetsu, Minoh Beer, Kyoto Brewing, all those names make it feel like a festival just by reading them!
Hop BroExactly. The appeal of the lineup is its IPA-centered variety. With Oni Densetsu, gogoshima beer farm, FLORA FERMENTATION, AMAKUSA SONAR BEER, FARMENTRY, and PAINT PALETTE BREWING all on tap, it feels like a snapshot of the current domestic brewery scene.
MugiBut seriously, what’s the difference between IPA, pale ale, and lager? I’m the type who can only look at the sign and say, “That looks delicious!”
Hop BroVery roughly speaking, IPA puts hop aroma and bitterness front and center, pale ale is a bit lighter, and lager tends to have a cleaner finish. Here, the breadth of the tasting lineup is thoughtfully arranged, so even beginners can enjoy it naturally.
MugiAnd then there’s the Pogojiro Set and Menjiro too, so they’re not just luring you in with beer but with food as well! This is the kind of place you end up staying for a long time!
Hop BroExactly. During Golden Week, it’s a very reliable hangout spot for drinking, with hours from 3:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. from May 2 to 5 and 3:00 p.m. to midnight on May 6. They’ve got everything from Shiga Kogen Beer to a nitro version, so honestly, I want to go right now too.
MugiYeah, let’s start with SNOW MONKEY IPA today! If I follow that with Oni Densetsu or a lager to finish, I feel like the holiday will instantly get a lot happier!
