At the Kyoto Gion beer pub "Bakushu Yumeutami," Nara Brewing's American Belgo "SPIRAL" was tapped during business hours on Wednesday, April 22. Knot's "KOURO" is nearing its end, and the shop plans to switch to Sapporo Draft Beer Black Label on April 24 and 25.
Hop BroKyoto's Gion beer pub Bakushu Yumeutami tapped Nara Brewing's "SPIRAL" on its April 22 service.
MugiWhat! Does tapping SPIRAL mean I can drink it right now?
Hop BroExactly. It's an American Belgo, and the post compares the changing hop character to a "spiral"; this time it's centered on melon-like aromas.
MugiAn American Belgo? What is that? It sounds like Belgian-ish but American, and the name alone is confusing!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it mixes the feel of Belgian yeast with American hop character. That's what makes the changing hop character interesting.
MugiWhoa! And if Knot's KOURO is there too, you can do a side-by-side tasting!
Hop BroThat's right. But KOURO seems to be nearing the end of service, so if you're interested, sooner is better.
MugiFirst come, first served? Then I'm curious about the snacks too, but a bamboo-shoot back menu? That's so spring!
Hop BroSince staff are in that day, it sounds like they'll prepare a back menu that includes fried bamboo shoots. And Mori Mori's rusk, Kyoto Shichimi Cheese Flavor, is also getting its final notice in this batch, so it's a light snack that's easy to nibble on between beers.
MugiTheir stance is great too. Welcoming solo guests and letting people drop by without a reservation makes it easy to stop in after work!
Hop BroAlso, on April 24 and 25 they'll switch to Black Label, and from April 29 through May 6 they'll be open every day. That's an announcement that makes it easy to plan a beer during the holiday break in Kyoto.
MugiYeah, SPIRAL and KOURO both sound interesting, and ending with Black Label is fine too. Now I really want to toast in Kyoto!
Draft Beer Today
During its Wednesday, April 22, 5:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. service, Bakushu Yumeutami began serving Nara Brewing's American Belgo "SPIRAL."

The other guest beer on the lineup is Knot's "KOURO," which is also said to be nearing the end of service.
A Secret Food Menu Too
Because staff will be on hand that day, the shop will also offer a secret food menu featuring fried items such as bamboo shoots. In addition, Mori Mori's rusk, "Kyoto Shichimi Cheese Flavor," is being announced for the last time in this batch, making for a light snack that sounds appealing between beers.
