The Cat & Cask Tavern's April 15 taps feature Shiga Kogen, Minoh, and Hanjaro Beer
The Cat & Cask Tavern, a beer pub in Kanamecho, Tokyo, has announced its tap list for April 15. Four labels from Shiga Kogen, Matsumoto Brewery, Minoh, and Hanjaro Beer are on the board, and real ale will be served from a single cask starting Wednesday.
Hop BroThe beer pub The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho has put out its April 15 taps. Shiga Kogen, Matsumoto Brewery, Minoh, and Hanjaro Beer are lined up, and it's a very intriguing lineup.
MugiWait, that's four breweries all at once!? And there's a British-style beer pub like that in Kanamecho, Tokyo? It has a real secret-base feel to it!
Hop BroInside, it's set up with 3 handpump taps and 3 draft taps, so you can take your time with Japanese craft beer. Being able to appreciate the head formation and temperature properly is a big plus.
MugiWhat even is a handpump!? You mean the foam comes out differently? It sounds kind of like a hand-pushed cart in the beer world, and now I'm curious!
Hop BroBasically, instead of pushing it out hard with electricity, it's a manual, gentle pour. That makes it easier to bring out the appeal of real ale, and the aroma and mouthfeel tend to come across softer.
MugiOhhh! Then I want to compare everything from AfPA to IPA. Shiga Kogen's AfPA sounds energetic just from the name!
Hop BroThe lineup is Shiga Kogen AfPA, Matsumoto Brewery's Awesome! Pale Ale, Minoh's Rockin' Osaru IPA, and Hanjaro Beer's Iron Burton Real Ale. From pale ale to IPA to real ale, it's a broad selection, so today's set is perfect for side-by-side tasting.
MugiHold on, Rockin' Osaru IPA at 8.5% is strong, isn't it!? The monkey isn't the one rocking anymore; this is the one that will rock me first!
Hop BroAnd since the real ale opened from a single cask every Wednesday is limited, the smart move is to go early. Quantity and condition are both one-offs, and that's what makes beer pubs so interesting.
MugiThey're open from Wednesday through Saturday at 18:00, so it's nice that you can relax and drink one glass at a time. Now I just want to go drink slowly while watching the foam in a quiet bar...!
Hop BroThen your next day off should be a drink in Kanamecho. With taps lined up from Shiga Kogen to Hanjaro Beer, the two of us would have no choice but to drink.
