Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara updates its taps on April 26, with two Nara Brewing beers added
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara has released its tap list for April 26. Along with Yatsugatake Touchdown's staple lineup, it includes beers from Shiga Kogen Beer, Shiroyama Brewery, and Good Hops, plus two newly arrived beers from Nara Brewing, making for a lineup that's fun to choose from at the start of Golden Week.
Hop BroAkihabara's tap update is heating up. Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara just dropped its April 26 lineup, and with Golden Week around the corner it's a seriously hard one to choose from.
MugiWhoa! It's that packed? I'm already lost before I even start choosing!
Hop BroThe backbone is Yatsugatake Touchdown, and what I like is that it's full of staples and limited releases. When collaborations and popular beers line up all at once, the shop's character really shows through.
MugiSeriously? And 102×69~Roggen Roll~ sounds like it has too much number energy, doesn't it? That's such a rock-and-roll name!
Hop BroThis is a collaboration between Yatsugatake Touchdown, Serverland Akasaka-Mitsuke, and Scissors Akihabara, and it's the kind of beer where the toasty rye character really stands out. Roggen is German for rye, so it's easy to imagine that bread-like umami.
MugiOhh! Then what kind of beer is Wampaku Kozō? The name alone makes it sound mischievous.
Hop BroIt's a collab between Yatsugatake Touchdown and Kyoto Brewing, and the drinking profile is brisk, but it still has a clear personality. On top of that, there are Shiga Kogen Beer's SNOW MONKEY IPA and Shiroyama Brewery's Kokutō Stout, so there are plenty of escape routes depending on your mood.
MugiWait, they have lager, IPA, and stout too? That might actually make it easy for a beginner like me to say, 'I'll have this one today!'
Hop BroExactly. They also have Yatsugatake Touchdown's Pilsner, Dunkel, Rock Weizen, Weizenbock, Rock Helles, and Fresh Yuzu Lager, so it's basically a style showcase.
MugiAnd they even have @goodhops.jp's MURAKAMI SEVEN? Hearing about the bright, refreshing aroma already makes my throat react!
Hop BroYeah, and the IPA-versus-Lager comparison is interesting too. Nara Brewing's Function has the dry snap from saison yeast, and Lighthouse stands out for the soft head you get from a nitro can. At this point, going in for one drink in Akihabara turns into two or three.
MugiI get it! It's the perfect detour before Golden Week, and now I want to spend some time choosing in Akihabara and finish with a proper drink!
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara has released its tap list for April 26. In time for the start of Golden Week, the lineup spans from Yatsugatake Touchdown at its core to collaboration beers, regulars from popular breweries, and even newly arrived limited releases.
The highlights of the day are Yatsugatake Touchdown x Serverland Akasaka-Mitsuke x Scissors Akihabara's "102×69~Roggen Roll~", Yatsugatake Touchdown x Kyoto Brewing's "Wampaku Kozō", Shiga Kogen Beer's "SNOW MONKEY IPA", Shiroyama Brewery's "Kokutō Stout", and Yatsugatake Touchdown's "Pilsner", "Dunkel", "Rock Weizen", "Weizenbock", "Rock Helles", and "Fresh Yuzu Lager". From lager and Helles to Weizen, IPA, and stout, the lineup makes it easy to pick according to your mood.
Also on tap are @goodhops.jp's "MURAKAMI SEVEN IPA" and "MURAKAMI SEVEN Lager". The post describes a bright, refreshing aroma reminiscent of Japanese citrus, a gentle bitterness, and the fun of comparing it with the canned version. In addition, Nara Brewing's "Function" and "Lighthouse" have arrived as fresh stock. Function is introduced as having a dry finish from saison yeast, while Lighthouse is notable for the soft foam typical of a nitro can.
The shop is open Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., Friday from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., Saturday from 2:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Sunday and holidays from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. It also offers growler and plastic-cup takeout, making it a convenient spot both for people who want to take their time drinking in Akihabara and for those who want to bring home the beers that catch their eye.
