Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke taps Romantik Village Brewery’s Shukuhai IPA
Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke opened at 5:00 p.m. on June 7 and tapped Romantik Village Brewery’s "Shukuhai IPA 〜Romantic Village 30th Annibeersary IPA〜/FRUITS Juicy IPA." The new pour adds another Japanese craft beer option in the basement pub in Akasaka.
Hop BroI’ve got my eye on a fresh Akasaka tapping today. At Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke, Romantic Village Brewery’s “Shukuhai IPA” just went on.
MugiWhat! A 5:00 p.m. grand opening and they’re already pouring a celebratory IPA? That name is basically yelling “cheers”!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s from Romantic Village Brewery in Tochigi, called “Shukuhai IPA: Romantic Village 30th Annibeersary IPA,” a FRUITS Juicy IPA at 6.5% ABV.
MugiWhoa, but FRUITS Juicy IPA? What does that even mean? Is it sweet like juice, or bitter like a proper IPA?
Hop BroHere’s the thing, it’s full-on hop aroma with big fruit-like notes, but the mouthfeel still goes down smooth.
MugiHold on, full-on hop aroma sounds like you’re about to turn into a fizzy cloud and drift across the bar!
Hop BroThat would be a health-code problem. Basically, it opens with tropical fruit vibes and can remind you of peach or citrus even without actual juice in it.
MugiOkay, got it! And it’s on tap 13? That sounds like the secret boss hiding in the basement. B1F is kind of perfect for that.
Hop BroExactly. Best move is start with a solo sip for the aroma, then pair it with food and see how it changes. The place leans domestic craft, so a tasting run makes sense.
MugiSo this is fully after-work beer material. I’d walk in planning one glass, then somehow start ordering more “for research purposes.”
Hop BroThat excuse is dangerously strong. I just want to settle into the basement with a Shukuhai IPA, add some food, and let the Akasaka night come together properly.
MugiSold. I want that first toast now, and if the name says Annibeersary, I’m absolutely using it as my excuse to dive deeper into craft beer.
