Baird Beer’s Teikoku IPA arrives at CRAFT BEER Market Tokyo Torch
CRAFT BEER Market Tokyo Torch has tapped Baird Beer’s Teikoku IPA as its newest guest beer. The pub, located on the first floor of TOKYO TORCH’s Tokiwabashi Tower, is also highlighting its terrace seating.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Imperial IPA on tap. At CRAFT BEER Market Tokyo Torch in Otemachi, Baird Beer’s Imperial IPA has just been freshly tapped.
MugiWait, that name sounds intense! Imperial? It already feels like the beer is wearing a crown. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a full-bodied IPA. You get hop aroma, sure, but also real malt weight, and the article even describes it as rich and dense.
MugiHold on, malt weight? What is that supposed to mean? It’s a drink, not a weighted blanket!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s malty depth. Think bready toastiness and a little sweetness underneath, so it’s not just bitter, it actually drinks with substance.
MugiOhhh, not just bitterness then! And it’s on the first floor of TOKYO TORCH Tokiwabashi Tower with terrace seating too? That sounds great.
Hop BroExactly, it’s perfect for terrace beer weather. You can watch the city changing around you, and they keep around 30 draft craft beers on at all times.
MugiThirty taps? Those faucets are overachieving! I’d go in for one drink and end up frozen in front of the menu.
Hop BroThat’s where the spice snack course comes in. Appetizers, dumplings, fries, even Mao-style fried chicken, and Imperial IPA sounds dangerously good with all of it.
MugiDumplings and IPA is just unfair! And if they’ve got a course where you pick two kinds of gyoza, my stomach has already made the reservation.
Hop BroYou could do a quick pint at the counter or take it slow outside, but the first move has to be that rich guest beer.
MugiSettled. I want a glass now. Imperial IPA with spicy food while looking out at the city? My throat is thirsty just thinking about it.
