November 23 tap update at Beer Brain Harajuku, serving four beers including a Japanese-hop Kölsch
At the brewpub Beer Brain Harajuku in Harajuku, Tokyo, the tap list for November 23 has been released. Four beers are currently on offer, including two new Beer Brain taps, with selections from Beer Again Brewing and Kunitachi Brewery also on the board. Tap No. 5 is temporarily unavailable due to a malfunction.
Hop BroThe November 23 tap update at Beer Brain Harajuku in Harajuku has a pretty interesting lineup this time.
MugiReally? Things are moving that much in Harajuku? Just seeing ON TAP TODAY is enough to make me excited!
Hop BroThe first of the new beers is KASHIWA IBUKI LEAF. It's a fresh-hop Kölsch using the Japanese hop IBUKI, with a design that makes it light and clean to drink.
MugiA Kölsch? What even is that? So when you say light and clean, you mean it's something you can drink one after another, right?
Hop BroExactly. It drinks crisp, and on top of that, there's a fragrance that floats up like young leaves. That's the character of IBUKI. It's not flashy, but it's the kind that definitely leaves an impression.
MugiOhh, then the other one, LOSE YOURSELF, sounds interesting too! The name alone makes me feel like I might get lost!
Hop BroThis one is a German Pilsner, centered on a light and clear drinking profile. A crisp malt character and herbal, floral German hops come through beautifully.
MugiMalt character sounds suddenly hard to understand! But herbal and floral makes it sound elegant and delicious!
Hop BroThe guest taps are strong too. Beer Again Brewing's Fujiyama Taki Beer is a Brown Ale, and Kunitachi Brewery's Hop Filament is a Single Hop IPA. It's a lineup that works whether you want something malt-forward or hop-forward.
MugiSo today we can do a four-tap tasting. Can we really be this spoiled in Harajuku?
Hop BroAnd since tap No. 5 is down, it's safer to check the latest status before you go. All right, let's start with the Kölsch, move on to the Pilsner, and finish with the Brown Ale.
MugiI'm in! Comparing beers in Harajuku sounds amazing, and I'm starting with KASHIWA IBUKI LEAF!
Latest tap information from Beer Brain Harajuku, the brewpub in Harajuku, Shibuya, Tokyo, has been released. In the post, the venue shares the current lineup in service and the day's in-house status under "ON TAP TODAY."
The main point of interest in this update is that two Beer Brain beers have been switched in. The first is KASHIWA IBUKI LEAF. It is introduced as a fresh-hop Kölsch made with the Japanese hop IBUKI, designed for a light, clean drinking experience with aromas reminiscent of young leaves. The other is LOSE YOURSELF, a German Pilsner built around a light, crisp, and clear profile. Its defining features are a crisp malt character and the herbal, floral aroma of German hops.
In addition, the guest taps include Beer Again Brewing's Fujiyama Taki Beer (Brown Ale) and Kunitachi Brewery's Hop Filament (Single Hop IPA). The lineup is well balanced, appealing both to people who want to enjoy hop character and to those who prefer a malt-forward beer.
At the time of the post, the venue was serving a total of four taps. Tap No. 5 is explicitly noted as temporarily stopped due to a malfunction, so checking the latest status before visiting would be wise. If you want to compare a crisp pilsner, a Kölsch that showcases Japanese hops, and even a brown ale in the Harajuku area, Beer Brain Harajuku remains a strong choice.
