TK Brewing Announces Event Appearance on May 30 and Two New Releases
Kawasaki, Kanagawa's TK Brewing announced its plans to appear at an event on May 30, along with a double release of two new beers. Timed for the season before the rainy season begins, the lineup is designed to let drinkers enjoy hop aroma and citrus character.
Hop BroSo Kawasaki's TK Brewing is appearing at an event on May 30 while releasing two new beers, right? It's a lineup going in hard on aroma before the rainy season starts.
MugiWait! So on May 30 it's both the event and normal business? They're really making it hard to choose where to drink!
Hop BroExactly. They're taking part in the Musashi-Fuchu Beer Festival @ Okunitama Shrine, but the shop will still be open for drinks as usual. And apparently TKB beer is also scheduled to be on tap at Ben's Slop Shop in Kichijoji on May 30 and 31.
MugiOhh! But isn't a double release just two beers that taste the same? The name alone sounds as crowded as brother's desk!
Hop BroThat's where it gets interesting. #455 Mosaic Fusion is a 6.0%, IBU 63 Hybrid IPA. It layers the soft feel of a hazy beer on top of the sharp bitterness of a West Coast IPA.
MugiWhat is that, a hazy beer that's bitter? I thought it would be fluffy, and then it suddenly snaps at you. It's got way too much going on!
Hop BroExactly. The tropical aroma from Mosaic comes first, but it finishes cleanly with a solid bitterness. It's the kind of beer that pulls you in with aroma and then shows its grip at the end.
MugiThen what about #456 Grapefruit SMaSH? The name makes it sound like grapefruit is dead serious about this!
Hop Bro#456 Fruited Pale Ale is built as a SMaSH beer and loaded with grapefruit. It clearly showcases Amarillo's character, and with an IBU of 28 it's light and easygoing, just right for the warmer season.
MugiI see! And #443 nitro Kawasakey is connected to 13 taps too. Kawasaki is seriously bringing it! This is the kind of day where you get wrapped up in the aroma and end up wanting another one!
Hop BroYeah, it's a week that shows Kawasaki's character at full blast. At both the event and the shop, I want to start with one glass, or maybe two, and blow away this pre-rainy-season air.
This Week at TK Brewing
TK Brewing in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture announced this week's business update along with the release of two new beers. The brewery was launched in Kawasaki in 2017 as a locally rooted brewery, and it delivers freshly brewed beer through its taproom and event appearances.
May 30 is a weekend with overlapping events
The post announced that the brewery will take part in the "Musashi-Fuchu Beer Festival @ Okunitama Shrine" on Saturday, May 30. It says the shop will remain open as usual even while operating at the event, creating a setup where beer can be enjoyed both on-site and at the store. It was also reported that TKB beer is scheduled to be on tap at "Ben's Slop Shop" in Kichijoji during an event held on May 30 and 31.
The double release features two beers with different drinking directions
The new releases introduced this week are #455 Mosaic Fusion and #456 Grapefruit SMaSH. Both are 6.0%, but their flavor designs contrast sharply.
- #455 Mosaic Fusion 6.0% IBU 63 / Hybrid IPA
A design that combines the soft mouthfeel of a hazy beer with the sharp bitterness characteristic of a West Coast IPA. Tropical aromas from Mosaic come to the forefront.
- #456 Grapefruit SMaSH 6.0% IBU 28 / Fruited Pale Ale
A pale ale loaded with grapefruit. Built as a SMaSH beer, it clearly showcases Amarillo's character. It is being presented as an easy-drinking beer for warmer weather.
A regular that has joined 13 taps too
It was also reported that #443 nitro Kawasakey has been connected to 13 taps. The beer, which has long emphasized its Kawasaki brewery identity, is once again gaining presence in the current lineup.
In step with the humid air before the rainy season starts, TK Brewing has rolled out two beers with strong aroma and a clear drinking profile. Along with its event appearance, this is the week to keep an eye on the changes at the Kawasaki taproom as well.
