Three New Taps Pour at Beer Stand Hiranoya in Shinsen
Beer Stand Hiranoya in Shinsen, Tokyo has opened three new taps at once: a Seoul Brewery and CRAFTROCK BREWING collaboration fruit sour, Belgian lager classic Stella Artois, and a limited hazy IPA from Y Market and Oni Densetsu.
Hop BroBeer Stand Hiranoya in Shinsen has three new taps at once. A sour, a lager, and a hazy IPA—three very different moods in one lineup.
MugiWhoa! Three totally different styles? That is the fun kind of difficult choice. Tell me about the sweet-and-tart one first!
Hop BroThe standout is JAM SESSION FRUIT SOUR, a second collaboration between Seoul Brewery and CRAFTROCK BREWING. At 4.0%, it uses mango purée, lemon, and apple mint.
MugiDoes apple mint mean apples and mint are both in it? And what is this hop nuance thing? You suddenly put on your beer-professor face!
Hop BroApple mint is an herb that adds a fresh aroma. Hop nuance means a beer-like aromatic accent. In short, it is tropical fruit with freshness layered on top.
MugiNice! Coconut and mango up front, then lemon and mint at the end? That sounds like a tropical vacation in a glass. At 4.0%, I could really keep sipping!
Hop BroFor a crisp option, there is also STELLA ARTOIS at 5.0%. This Belgian premium lager has a white-wine-like mineral quality and a clean pilsner finish.
MugiDoes mineral mean it tastes like especially good water? And a crisp pilsner finish sounds like a samurai technique!
Hop BroNot a samurai technique—though that would be great. Mineral character is a light, firm freshness, and crispness means the finish does not linger. It is a lager made for food.
MugiThen comes the 8.0% final boss: NEW Onigashima IX! A Y MARKET and Hokkaido's Oni Densetsu collaboration? Even the name sounds powerful!
Hop BroIt is the ninth annual limited release, built around a back-to-basics hop recipe. Mango, peach, pink grapefruit, Japanese citrus, and pear notes make for a juicy hazy IPA.
MugiHazy means the beer is cloudy, right? But 8.0% and easy-drinking? That sounds like a gentle trap from an oni!
Hop BroThat caution is wise! Hazy IPAs often have a soft mouthfeel and fruit-juice-like hop aroma. This one balances serious flavor and easy sipping, so take your time with it.
MugiA sour, a lager, and Onigashima in Shinsen… I want to go to Hiranoya now! Let’s toast before those three kegs are gone!
