KARAKURI taps Shiga Kogen Beer’s "Yuru Brew spelt" as a Hazy Wheat IPA
KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake- in Kanda will tap Shiga Kogen Beer’s "Yuru Brew spelt" on Wednesday, July 29. The post highlights its Hazy Wheat IPA character and the use of spelt wheat.
Hop BroKARAKURI in Kanda is tapping Yuru Buru spelt tomorrow. It’s a summer-ready Hazy Wheat IPA from Shiga Kogen Beer, and that already sounds promising.
MugiWait, Shiga Kogen Beer is showing up at KARAKURI? That name sounds relaxed and intense at the same time!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s built with more hops than an IPA, so the aroma should really jump out.
MugiHold on, Hazy Wheat IPA is way too many words at once! And spelt sounds like a spell from wizard school!
Hop BroHazy means cloudy and soft, Wheat gives it a gentle grainy feel, and IPA means a solid hop punch. Spelt is an old wheat variety, and with over 25% homegrown spelt in the mix, it got renamed to Yuru Buru spelt.
MugiOhhh, so you get soft wheat and then a faint spicy edge sneaks in? That suddenly sounds very grown-up!
Hop BroExactly, and then you get apricot-and-orange notes on top of that. The ABV is lighter too, so it fits hot weather really well.
MugiThat is dangerous in the best way. When I hear lighter ABV, I hear, ‘sure, order a second one.’
Hop BroAnd KARAKURI is strong on creative oden, so dashi pairing is part of the appeal. It’s a calm basement spot with draft beer and even a bottle shop attached.
MugiThen it’s settled, straight to KARAKURI for the first drink. Now I want Yuru Buru spelt and oden immediately!
KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake- in Kanda will feature Shiga Kogen Beer’s `Yuru Brew spelt` as a guest beer for its Wednesday, July 29 service.
According to the post, the beer is built with a hop load heavier than many IPAs, and its style was changed last year to a `Hazy Wheat IPA`. Like Yuru Brew Wheat, it is wheat-driven, but this year more than 25% of the grist uses the brewery’s homegrown heritage wheat, spelt, which led to the rename `Yuru Brew spelt`.
The tasting notes mention a soft, wheaty body with satisfying depth and a subtle spiciness. Apricot- and orange-like impressions stand out, while the lighter alcohol level makes it an easy choice for the hot season.
KARAKURI is a homey basement beer pub that focuses on craft beer, sake, and natural wine, with creative dishes centered on oden. The venue pairs tap beer with dashi-forward food in a relaxed setting, and it also has a bottle shop, so guests can enjoy bottles and cans to go as well.
For beer drinkers looking for a place where the tap list and food both matter, this guest pour fits the house style well. `Yuru Brew spelt` is a solid pick for anyone stopping by Kanda for beer and oden.
