Hop BroAt Titans Craft Beer Taproom in Minamiotsuka, there'll be a rooftop beer garden LAGER DAY on May 15 and 16. With 14 taps across the first floor and rooftop, and 10 of them being lagers, it's basically a full-on lager festival.
MugiWhat! Ten taps of lager? You can compare that much at once? Lager is the "clean and crisp" kind, right?
Hop BroExactly, but lumping lager together is too rough. This time what's interesting is comparing the malt depth and crisp finish, and the lineup makes the differences between labels really easy to see.
MugiMalt depth? What's that, like something heavy like bread? And crisp finish means it ends cleanly on the throat?
Hop BroPretty much. The fragrant malt character and body are the foundation of the drinking experience, and the finish is the clean break at the end, so even within lager the impression changes a lot.
MugiOhhh! And the headline beer is Bearded Barbet, right? The name sounds fierce, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThis is a three-way collaboration between Inkhorn Brewing, Tokyo Aleworks, and TITANS. The style is Vienna Lager, and the ABV is 5.2%. It balances malt aroma and a clean profile well, so it works as both an opening pour and something to pair with food.
MugiVienna Lager sounds like some kind of stylish port town! But isn't it hard to understand?
Hop BroIn short, it's a lager with a just-right reddish hue that's neither too flashy nor too plain. There's also KOBO-brewed Red Soul 2, so the fun part is comparing expressions within the same family.
MugiWhoa, it's a lager tasting paradise! And being just a short walk from the south exit of JR Otsuka Station makes it too easy to stop by after work.
Hop BroPlus Titans Craft Beer Taproom has both the calm first-floor space and the open feel of the rooftop, so it becomes a glass that's different from the usual. Since it's closed on May 17, the plan is set: go on the 15th or 16th.
MugiDecided! I want to do a lager tasting on the rooftop, and Hop, don't drink too much while you're explaining. Actually, never mind, I can't stop you - let's have another one!
At Titans Craft Beer Taproom in Minamiotsuka, Toshima Ward, Tokyo, the two-day rooftop beer garden "LAGER DAY" will take place on Friday, May 15 and Saturday, May 16. Of the 14 taps spanning the first floor and rooftop, 10 are lagers. For lager fans, the lineup is designed so they can compare not only the differences between labels, but also the depth of malt and the crispness of the finish.
The highlight this time is the new release "Bearded Barbet." It is a collaboration among Inkhorn Brewing, Tokyo Aleworks, and TITANS, styled as a Vienna Lager with an ABV of 5.2%. Since it is a style that readily balances malt aroma with a clean finish, it should work well as either a first pour or something to pair with food. Also available is Vienna Lager "Red Soul 2," brewed at KOBO. This is said to be a different version from TITANS' 9th anniversary beer from last year, so even within the same lager family, there should be enjoyable differences in character.
Titans Craft Beer Taproom is a beer pub in Otsuka that doubles as a craft beer taproom and bottle shop. It is located just south of JR Otsuka Station, making it easy to drop by casually. During events, the rooftop's open-air feel is added to the relaxed first-floor space, letting you enjoy a glass in a mood a little different from the usual taproom experience.
This event is less a one-off showcase of flashy special beers and more a concept that presents the breadth of lager as a whole. Starting with the new collaboration beer, it should be fun to compare different Vienna Lagers and work through the distinct character of each tap one by one. Since Sunday, May 17 will be closed for Adam's first memorial anniversary, the best days to visit are May 15 and 16.
