Tap List Updated at Umegaoka's "Neko no Shukaijo" - 6 Beers Including FLORA FERMENTATION's FLORALIA
At the craft beer and spice food bar "Neko no Shukaijo" in Umegaoka, the tap list has been updated. Six beers are on tap, including FLORA FERMENTATION's FLORALIA, along with beers from Mugizakkoku Kobo, Nomcraft, Shiga Kogen, and West Coast Brewing, and they can be enjoyed in S, H, and R sizes.
Hop BroThe taps have been updated at Neko no Shukaijo in Umegaoka. This time, the lineup is pretty strong, with FLORA FERMENTATION's FLORALIA leading the way, plus Mugizakkoku Kobo, Shiga Kogen, and WCB.
MugiWhoa, six beers on tap? With that many, I'd freeze up trying to decide where to start!
Hop BroIn that case, starting with FLORALIA's Fresh Hop Lager is the cleanest move. It has that fresh, green hop aroma, and the crispness of the lager keeps it balanced, so it's perfect as a first beer.
MugiFresh hop? What is that? Does that green aroma make it taste like vegetable juice?
Hop BroNo, no, it just means the hops are used right after harvest. So the freshly picked hop aroma really stands out, with grassy and vibrant notes coming forward. It doesn't turn into juice, so don't worry.
MugiI get it! Then Mugizakkoku Kobo's Sansho Porter sounds interesting too. Beer with sansho in it feels like it suddenly turns into a Japanese-food event!
Hop BroThat's exactly what's interesting about it. When a porter's roasted character and sansho come together, you get that dark toasty flavor followed by a sharp, peppery kick. It makes perfect sense that it pairs well with a spice food bar.
MugiAnd you can drink it in three sizes, S, H, and R! Being able to try a little at a time is really great for beginners!
Hop BroExactly, and cans and bottles are OK to enjoy inside too, so you can choose based on your mood. The shop is a street-level place near Umegaoka Station, and it has a laid-back feel even if you just drop in on your own.
MugiThen with Nomcraft's JUICY SNOOZE for something smooth and creamy, Shiga Kogen's DPA and rice lager to set the flow, and finally WCB's Starwatcher to finish it off with a crisp edge, that sounds so much fun!
Hop BroThat's a really good way to go about it. Moving from lager to IPA lets you compare the aroma and bitterness clearly, and it's perfect for a weekend tasting session. All right, now I kind of want us to grab a drink in Umegaoka too.
