CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi: 11 draft beers including Minoh arrive on 4/24
On April 24, the beer pub "CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi" in Ryudocho, Roppongi announced its draft beer lineup, featuring Minoh's "Saru Yama Shika O" alongside draft beers from Mikkeller NZ, Ushitora, Ace, DDC!, and Black Tide. It also announced its Golden Week business hours and a new salad.
Hop BroIn the basement of Roppongi, 11 draft beers for 4/24 line up all at once. Starting with Minoh's "Saru Yama Shika O," the rice koji saison part is already intriguing, right?
MugiWhat!? What even is a rice koji saison! It sounds like a dish name even though it's an alcohol name, and my brain can't keep up~.
Hop BroWhat happens is, when the saison's crispness carries the gentle savoriness of rice koji, it gives off a Japanese nuance. Minoh also has "Osaru IPA," "Pale Ale," and "Weizen," so it's a lineup that's fun to compare.
MugiWow, I could keep playing around just with the Minoh tasting comparison! But even though I know the names IPA and Weizen, their personalities are still a bit fuzzy.
Hop BroMikkeller NZ is interesting too. "Windy Hill Hazy IPA" is all about haze and juiciness, while "Mysterious Pass Pilsner" leans toward crispness, so the same brewery still has a wide range.
MugiWhat, haze and crispness coexist!? My brain can't keep up with beer, but it sounds kind of fun and unfair.
Hop BroUshitora is pushing it too. "Yozora no Simcoe" is a Black IPA with roasty notes and strong hop presence, and "Totonimashita! Yuzucchi" is a yuzu pale ale with a fragrance that really pops.
MugiWait, a Black IPA is dark but still has strong hops!? And if it says "Totonimashita!" I'd want to toast just from the name alone!
Hop BroThe food is no slouch either, with a stylish-looking Passion Fruit Salad on the menu. Lettuce and arugula with a sweet-tart dressing and Parmigiano, and it goes with both pilsners and ciders.
MugiA salad that becomes a beer's partner is the best! It seems like it would also go with a cherry Berliner Weisse or hard tea, and now my stomach is getting busy~.
Hop BroWhat's more, they're open during Golden Week too, with weekdays from 5 p.m., Saturdays from 2 p.m., and Sundays and holidays from 2 p.m. They're also a participating shop in the Tokyo Craft Beer Week stamp rally, so the reason to stop by Roppongi is way too strong.
MugiI definitely want to go! If I go beer-hopping in Roppongi and drink one by one while snacking on salad, I'll absolutely never make it home~.
