Two Flora Fermentation Kegs Tapped at Yakiniku Stand Niku to Mugi in Hatagaya
At the beer pub Yakiniku Stand Niku to Mugi in Hatagaya, Tokyo, two guest beer kegs from Flora Fermentation have been tapped. The lineup lets you compare the Czech-style pale lager GOLEM and the Schwarzweizen WALDSCHRAT.
Hop BroThey've tapped two kegs at Niku to Mugi in Hatagaya. Flora Fermentation guests are on, and having GOLEM and WALDSCHRAT side by side is pretty exciting.
MugiWhoa! Beer is playing a starring role at a yakiniku place!? Yakiniku and craft beer is enough to make me hungry just from the words alone!
Hop BroAnd GOLEM is a Czech-style pale lager. Its crisp bitterness and clean finish make it especially good for washing down rich meat.
MugiWhat even is Czech-style!? A crisp lager sounds like some kind of magic that just vanishes when you drink it!
Hop BroThat's basically right. It's fermented on the cooler side, so it keeps down rough edges and brings out the malt flavor, making it easy to reset your mouth between bites of yakiniku.
MugiI get it! So WALDSCHRAT is a different kind of curveball? Schwarzweizen sounds intense just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. It's a dark wheat-beer style, with roasted notes and the softness that comes from wheat all in one. It looks heavy, but the drinking impression is surprisingly light, and the contrast between aroma and mouthfeel is what makes it interesting.
MugiWait, dark but light!? Okay, that's basically the beer-world lesson on never judging by appearance!
Hop BroExactly. If you enjoy GOLEM with meat for its sharpness and then take your time with WALDSCHRAT for its aroma, the Flora side-by-side tasting becomes really easy to understand.
MugiBeing able to do that in Hatagaya is the best! Just saying a drink in 1-chome, Hatagaya makes me feel a little more in the know!
Hop BroYakiniku Stand Niku to Mugi is the kind of place where you can enjoy choosing beers to match the meat. Right now they have two Flora Fermentation beers on hand, so tonight I want to drink while deciding between yakiniku and lager or dark wheat.
MugiThe fun kind of dilemma! Then I'll start with a toast over GOLEM and finish with WALDSCHRAT. I already want to compare them right now!
