The beer pub CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI in Funabashi announced new taps in a post made on the middle day of the three-day weekend.

Hop BroCRAFT PORT FUNABASHI, on the second floor in the Funabashi Station area, has rolled out a new tap list on the middle day of the three-day weekend. This time it's Ishinomaki Hop Works' Ishinomaki Sea Breeze IPL and Yellow Beer Works' MILK &.
MugiWait, two beers tapped at once!? And timed to a staff milestone too? That's got some drama to it!
Hop BroExactly. The first one, Ishinomaki Sea Breeze IPL, is introduced as refreshing and crisply bitter. Since it's an IPL, you can expect a lager-like, well-defined mouthfeel, so it's the kind of beer for people who want to enjoy a strong hop presence.
MugiHold on, what even is an IPL!? It looks like a cousin of IPA, but is it something different?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a style where you enjoy lager-leaning bitterness. Compared with the flashier character of an ale, it tends to finish cleanly, and the name Sea Breeze seems to fit it too.
MugiOhh! It feels like a pint that goes with the sea breeze, so it sounds perfect for a hot day!
Hop BroAnd the other one, MILK &, is interesting. It's described as a Yellow Beer Works-style "delicious smoothie," which gives it an easygoing feel for people who aren't big on bitterness.
MugiSmoothie? Beer that's a smoothie!? That's basically dessert-level temptation!
Hop BroExactly. You can imagine a fruity, easy-to-drink direction, and it makes sense that it might be popular with the staff too. Having a bitter one and a gentle one means you can really compare the contrast.
MugiAnd the hashtags list a whole bunch of brewery names from around the country, right? It sounds like you'd feel as if you were traveling while staying in Funabashi!
Hop BroThat's exactly what makes CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI great. It connects beers from different regions and styles. Seeing off a milestone day while enjoying the current lineup feels very much like a beer pub, doesn't it?
MugiYeah, now I want to toast in Funabashi! Start with a crisp Ishinomaki Sea Breeze IPL, then finish softly with MILK &!
