Hop BroToday, Nara Brewing × VERTERE has a guest tap open at MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku.
MugiWhoa! That pairing is seriously hot! What kind of beer is TYPHINA?
Hop BroIt's a KELLER PILS, with a gentle honey-like smoothness and a mellow malt sweetness.
MugiWhat even is a Keller? How is it different from a regular pilsner?
Hop BroBasically, it keeps the carbonation a little more restrained so you can clearly taste the malt sweetness and hop aroma.
MugiOhhh! Then it sounds like it would go great with food too! BBQ steak tacos already win just from the name!
Hop BroAnd it uses domestic Japanese beef, a house-made BBQ sauce, and homemade red chili, so the balance of meatiness and salsa is really good.
MugiI see, that's why it said it pairs well with IPA and lager!
Hop BroExactly. They also have 30 domestic and international bottles in the shop, so it's fun to compare them with the guest tap too.
MugiIf they have both lunch and dinner, it's perfect for Friday-night drinks. I want to go for a drink with tacos in hand today!
Hop BroIt's settled. I'll go with TYPHINA, and you can go with the tacos. In the end, it's the kind of place that makes you think you want just one more.
