KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand in Kawasaki Azalea refreshes 18 taps, including Garyu Brewing's "Garyu IPA ~Retropia~"
KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand by Tokaido Beer released its tap list as of 5:40 p.m. on May 13. Eighteen beers, from Tokaido BEER's regular offerings to breweries from across Japan, are lined up, making it a setup you can enjoy alongside snacks you bring in yourself.
Hop BroToday's topic is KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand, directly connected to Kawasaki Azalea. As of May 13, the taps have been refreshed to 18, and it's a pretty strong lineup if you're just dropping by after work.
MugiWhat? 18 taps? I'd get tipsy just trying to choose! If there were that many, I'd probably freeze at the entrance for about three minutes.
Hop BroAnd the best part is, you can bring your own food. You can take your favorite snacks in and have a drink at the standing bar, so even convenience-store fried chicken becomes a proper companion.
MugiSeriously? So my potato chips can join the party too? But Hop, there's a "today's recommendation" on the lineup, right?
Hop BroThat one is worth paying attention to. This time's pick is Garyu Brewing's "Garyu IPA ~Retropia~". At 7%, it has the satisfying heft you'd expect from an IPA, and its appeal is a solid body built from a luxurious malt blend.
MugiA malt blend? Wait, what does "solid body" even mean? Are they putting the beer through strength training?
Hop BroNot strength training exactly, more like making the flavor foundation really firm. On top of that, citrus and stone-fruit aromas layer in, so when you drink it, you get a burst of orange-like character plus peach and apricot.
MugiOhh! So it's a "three-part harmony" of aroma? If that showed up, my nose would toast before I did!
Hop BroAnd today the lineup ranges from Tokaido BEER classics to breweries like Yellow Monkey Brewing and KANKIKU BREWERY. With everything from IPA to saison, neither light-drink fans nor strong-beer fans get left out.
MugiThat's amazing! I might start with something light to get a feel for it, then finish with a solid IPA. If I can stop by even for a short time in Kawasaki, that's incredibly convenient!
Hop BroExactly. Since you can even stop in just for takeout, it's a very solid option for having a drink in Kawasaki. Let's keep it casual at the standing bar, but make the mood a proper craft beer session.
MugiDeal! Then tonight it's a snack-bringing meetup. I'll handle the potato chips, and you handle the beer explanations, Hop. After that, all that's left is drinking!
