Shonan Beer’s “Nelson Sauvin Hazy IPA” Tapped at Beer Pub Camden Ikebukuro East Exit
In a March 20 post around 11 a.m., Beer Pub Camden Ikebukuro East Exit announced that it would open at 12:00 on the holiday and introduced the beers being tapped that day. The highlight is Shonan Beer’s “Nelson Sauvin Hazy IPA,” and the bar’s taps feature seven distinctive selections from breweries in Japan and abroad.
Hop BroAt Beer Pub Camden on Ikebukuro East Exit, Shonan Beer has been tapped. The big draw this time is the “Nelson Sauvin Hazy IPA,” and it’s even better that you can go after it from lunchtime on a holiday.
MugiWait, you can drink from noon!? A 12:00 opening on a holiday is basically a declaration that says, “Today, we’re doing this!”
Hop BroAnd this Hazy IPA has that ripe grapefruit character, plus passion fruit and even a gooseberry-like note, so the aroma layers are really elegant.
MugiGooseberry? What even is that! This is such a fruit festival that my head is turning into a produce shop!
Hop BroIt’s a slightly green, crisp impression that comes from New Zealand hops. In other words, the aroma is dimensional, and what makes it interesting is that it’s not just sweet.
MugiSo it has depth, not just sweetness. Beers where you can slowly enjoy the aroma feel kind of sophisticated, and I kind of admire that!
Hop BroThe tap list is strong too. Totopia has two beers on, plus BrewDog’s PUNK IPA, Georgetown’s Lucille, Grains of Wrath, and Lucky Envelope, so there are seven beers lined up.
MugiWhoa, too many choices! It feels like they’re ready to take care of everyone, IPA fans and lager fans alike!
Hop BroExactly. And since there’s also Fortunata Italian Pilsner, you can cleanse your palate if you’ve had something heavier. Camden is really good at balancing bold picks and easy escapes.
MugiThat’s the kind of place where you end up debating your first beer, then your second beer, and before you know it you want to bar-hop!
Hop BroIf you’re deciding on your first drink in Ikebukuro, today might be the kind of day to start with this Hazy IPA. Once you’re wrapped in that aroma, you’ll already be talking about the next beer.
MugiGot it, today is a Camden toast kind of day! I’m going to ramp up my mood with that grapefruit aroma!
