Dining Bar F-RUSH in Teramachi, Matsue, has added Pocket from Nara Brewing to its guest beer lineup. The post introduces it as a fresh arrival, bringing a bright, hop-driven Brut IPA to one of the city's most distinctive beer bars.

Pocket is built in the Brut IPA style, so the sweetness from residual sugar is kept to a minimum. The hop bill features Cashmere, Citra, and Centennial, creating a profile that starts with citrus, then opens into melon-like and herbal notes. As the beer warms a little, guava and tropical fruit hints become more apparent, before finishing crisp and dry. It is the kind of beer that should work well with barbecue and other savory, fatty dishes.

F-RUSH is known for its steampunk-leaning interior and relaxed beer-pub feel. With counter seating and standing room, it is easy to drop in for one pint or use it as a second stop for the night. For beer drinkers in Matsue, this is a place worth remembering when a guest beer like Pocket appears on the board.
