Hop BroI want to talk about Natsu no Okurimono Vol.2 today. It is an original house lager at Bar Malt Road in Kanda, brewed by Twin Peaks Mountain Brewing.
MugiWait, a beer pub can commission its own house lager? That already sounds like something I need in my glass.
Hop BroAnd the style is a pilsner-style lager with floral aroma and a sharp bitterness. It is light and easy, but still finishes crisp.
MugiWhat is that supposed to mean? Floral aroma makes me feel like I am drinking inside a flower shop.
Hop BroThat is the hops talking. Think of it as flower-like hop notes rising first, then a clean bitterness snapping everything into place.
MugiOhh, nice! So it is refreshing but still satisfying. And Bar Malt Road has that country pub vibe, right?
Hop BroExactly. It is a relaxed basement pub in Kanda, and they rotate eight draft taps with a Europe-focused lineup, so it is great for settling in.
MugiWow, that already sounds dangerous. And they recommend quiche lorraine with house-made pretzels too? That is a full attack on my appetite.
Hop BroThat pairing makes perfect sense. The buttery pastry and cheese richness meet the lager’s clean bitter finish, so it works beautifully with food.
MugiAnd it is easy to reach from Kanda, Awajicho, or Ogawamachi? That is pure after-work beer bait if I have ever heard it.
Hop BroThen we go right at 5 p.m. and make first pint locked in this one. We can overthink the rest after the first sip.
MugiDeal! Quiche, pretzels, and a summer toast with that lager. I am officially thirsty now.
Bar Malt Road is serving an original house lager from Twin Peaks Mountain Brewing as the bar opens at 5:00 p.m. The beer, titled “Natsu no Okurimono Vol. 2,” is described in the post as a pilsner with floral aroma and crisp bitterness, suggesting a bright, clean profile with a defined bitter finish.
The bar itself is a beer pub in a basement in Kanda, with a relaxed atmosphere that evokes a countryside pub in the U.K. According to the official site, it offers eight rotating draft beers, with a broad selection of bottled beer and whisky as well. It is the kind of place where beer remains the focus, but where you can take your time choosing each pour.
For this house lager, the bar recommends the chef’s quiche Lorraine and its house-made pretzels. The pairing makes sense on paper: floral hop notes and a firm bitterness alongside buttery pastry and the richness of cheese. It is an easy fit for anyone looking to enjoy guest beer with proper pub food.
The shop is located in the basement of Kiski Kanda Tacho Building in Kanda Tacho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. It is easy to reach from Kanda, Awajicho, or Ogawamachi, making it a practical stop for an after-work beer.
