Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke to Host Hansharo Beer Summer Tap Takeover on Aug. 8
Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke will host a summer tap takeover on August 8 featuring Hansharo Beer from Shizuoka's Izu no Kuni. The event will pour an original WEST COST IPA, offer Izu-sourced fresh fish, and include a janken contest around 7 p.m.
Hop BroAkasaka-Mitsuke is going to be wild on August 8. Craft Beer Server Land is hosting a 20-tap Hansharo lineup for a summer tap takeover.
MugiWait, twenty beers? That sounds like a festival! For a one-day-only event, I’m already worried for my decision-making skills!
Hop BroThe headliner is an original WEST COST IPA brewed just for the event, and it uses three kinds of green tea from Kuraya Narusawa.
MugiHold on, what even is a WEST COST IPA? That name alone sounds like it expects me to pass an exam!
Hop BroBasically, it’s an IPA that pushes bright hop character up front, then layers in tea aroma, so you get citrus and green tea working together.
MugiWhoa, tea and beer actually teaming up? And the venue will have around 20 beers on tap? My tasting notes are doomed!
Hop Bro“On tap” just means the kegs are hooked up and ready to pour. They’re also bringing a hand-pump server borrowed from Hansharo Beer.
MugiWhat is that supposed to mean? Am I doing reps between sips? A hand-pump server sounds suspiciously like gym equipment!
Hop BroNo arm workout required. It’s a serving method that pours more gently, so the beer feels softer and smoother in the mouth.
MugiAnd there’s fresh fish shipped from Izu, sushi, and even a rock-paper-scissors contest around 7 p.m.? My stomach and my luck are both being tested!
Hop BroExactly, and brewer Yamada plus the team are expected to show up too, so this is basically a must-drink event if you want the full Shizuoka vibe.
MugiThen it’s settled. From noon to 11:30 p.m., I can already see our future first toast happening there!
