Mitaka's 'Neko to Azarashi' Reveals 10 Taps for 3/24 Service, Featuring Yokohama Bay and Minami Aizu
Beer Pub Neko to Azarashi has published its tap list for Tuesday, 3/24, as of its 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. business hours. The lineup features 10 beers in total, including Yokohama Bay Brewing and Minami Aizu Mountain Brewing, spanning a wide range of styles from dark lager to sour IPA and Belgian white. The post also highlights warm food options, making it a fitting choice for a drink on a cold, rainy day.
Hop BroThe Beer Pub Neko to Azarashi just off the south exit of Mitaka Station has put out its tap list for 3/24. It includes beers from Yokohama Bay and Minami Aizu, so it looks like a pretty fun lineup.
MugiWait, they’ve published 10 taps?! With that many, I’d actually have trouble deciding where to start!
Hop BroThe foundation is solid. They’ve got a lager and a pilsner, then layer on a pale ale and an IPA, so it’s easy to build a tasting progression.
MugiThat tasting progression thing you said, what does it mean? If I start with something too strong, my tongue’s going to get shocked!
Hop BroSimply put, it means moving from lighter flavors to stronger ones. For example, you could start with the Bay Dark Dark Lager to settle in, then go to Shiga Kogen’s pale ale, and finish with the IPA or sour beer to make the differences really clear.
MugiI get it! But that wheat wine name already sounds like the final boss of alcohol, doesn’t it!?
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. Daisen G Beer's wheat wine tends to have the thickness of wheat and a fairly high alcohol presence, so it’s the kind of beer you sip slowly.
MugiHuh, and there’s a sour IPA too, right? Sour and bitter at the same time sounds like a busy flavor, but now I’m curious!
Hop BroExactly. Minami Aizu Mountain Brewing’s OLLIE Sour IPA is just that. It lifts your palate with acidity while also bringing the hop character of an IPA, so even on a cold day it makes you feel alert.
MugiAnd if they’ve got warm food too, that’s amazing. Motsuni or clam chowder with a beer sounds way too cozy!
Hop BroExactly. A drink in Mitaka that lets you move across styles is strong. It’s the kind of lineup that makes you want to head straight there and get ready to drink tonight.
MugiYeah, this is definitely where I want to go tonight! I want to try drinking everything in order, from light to rich, at Neko to Azarashi!
