The beer pub "444 BEYOND" in Mizue, Edogawa-ku, Tokyo, has received four canned beers from Nomcraft Brewing in Wakayama Prefecture. The lineup spans everything from Helles to Hazy Pale Ale, Double IPA, and Hazy IPA, offering something to suit a wide range of drinkers' tastes.
Hop BroFour cans have arrived at 444 BEYOND in Mizue. From Nomcraft Brewing in Wakayama, the lineup runs from lager to Hazy IPA, so you could practically do a personality test at the shop counter.
MugiWhoa! From lager all the way to IPA right off the bat? I wouldn't know what to pick, I'd probably freeze up at the entrance!
Hop BroStart with Nomcraft Lager. It's a Helles with 4.5% ABV, and it's a very well-made house lager, with grainy notes like nuts and toast layered with a soft hop aroma.
MugiHuh? What's a Helles? I get that it's a kind of lager, but suddenly there's this German vibe blowing in!
Hop BroBasically, it's a bright, easy-drinking lager. Instead of going big on aroma, it leans on the flavor of the malt and a clean finish, so it's perfect as a first beer.
MugiThen this one! Momonga Bongos has such a cute name! It's a Hazy Pale Ale, and tropical plus stone fruit sounds like a fruit festival!
Hop BroExactly, and with four kinds of hops plus a body that keeps the sweetness restrained, it's easy to keep drinking. The aroma is lively, but the balance makes it go down smoothly.
MugiWhat even is that! Easy to drink without fatigue sounds amazing! This is the kind of beer that makes you go for a second and third glass, isn't it? Dangerous deliciousness!
Hop BroIf you want to go bigger, Dinosaur Zoo is the move. It's a Double IPA at 8.0% ABV, with dank aromas, fruitiness, and a touch of caramel malt, so it finishes with real presence.
MugiWow, I'm also curious about Mystic Tiger and its mango lemonade vibe, and ending with a DIPA sounds fun too. This is the kind of lineup that makes you want to linger in Mizue while tasting side by side.
Hop BroRight, starting with a lager and finishing with a DIPA is such a clean progression. If you open cans while chatting in a shop with pistachio-colored walls, it feels like tonight should just be beer first.
MugiYeah, yeah, it's settled: beer first tonight! If I compare Nomcraft Brewing's beers at 444 BEYOND, maybe I'll feel a little more like a regular.
