Antonbee Roppongi's draft lineup updated: Prairie and four others appear
The May 12 tap list for the Roppongi beer pub chain CRAFT BEER Antonbee Roppongi was updated. The lineup ranged widely from Prairie Artisan Ales' Hazy IPA to a yuzu weizen, Basque cider, and 8 bit Brewing's fruit sour.
Hop BroFour draft beers were updated in Roppongi. At CRAFT BEER Antonbee Roppongi's Ryudochō location, the arrival of Prairie Artisan Ales' 'Merica Y'all is not something to miss.
MugiWhat! Four updates at once? That's the kind of thing that suddenly turns the shelf into a school festival! And the names already sound strong!
Hop BroExactly, and the lineup is good too. Both hop fans and tartness fans can enjoy it, with Yokohama Bay Brewing Co.'s YUZU Weiss, Zelaia's Euskal Sagardoa, and even 8 bit Brewing's Mario Tart: Phantom Stronghold.
MugiWhat is that! YUZU Weiss sounds like the beer version of yuzu juice, right? And anything with Weiss in the name suddenly sounds smart, so I kind of tense up!
Hop BroThat feeling is pretty close. It's a yuzu-scented weizen, so the soft wheat character carries citrus aroma on top. It's great for people who want to enjoy aroma more than bitterness.
MugiOhhh! Then it might be perfect as a first drink! But Euskal Sagardoa sounds like a spell from another world, so now I'm curious!
Hop BroThat's more cider than beer. It's a traditional Basque cider, and the fermentation nuances and way the acidity comes through are interesting, so it resets the palate in a different way from your usual IPA.
MugiReset the palate! That's important! So Mario Tart is even more aggressive, then? The name itself feels like a final boss!
Hop BroExactly. It's a fruit sour from 8 bit Brewing, with fruit-driven tartness, so it's for people who want a sharp outline rather than sweetness. If you compare it with the hazy IPA 'Merica Y'all here, you can create a nice progression.
MugiWow, the range for side-by-side tasting is so wide that choosing is fun! Eating in Roppongi and starting with yuzu, then moving to acidity, then hop character sounds really good!
Hop BroExactly. A place where the order from the first drink onward is fun is strong. Tonight at Antonbee Roppongi, line up the IPA, cider, and sour together, and by the end both of us will want to toast.
MugiI completely want a drink now! Tonight's drink candidate is settled. Antonbee it is!
Draft lineup on May 12
On the night of May 12, the draft beers at the Antonbee Ryudochō location were updated. The post announced four new taps, along with "giant new onions from Shirako, Chiba." True to a beer pub in the Roppongi area where craft beer can be enjoyed casually, this round again covered a broad range from IPA to cider to sour styles.
The beers that appeared that day were Prairie Artisan Ales' 'Merica Y'all, Yokohama Bay Brewing Co.'s YUZU Weiss, Zelaia's Euskal Sagardoa, and 8 bit Brewing's Mario Tart: Phantom Stronghold. From a hop-forward hazy IPA, to a weizen with yuzu aroma, to a traditional Basque cider, to a fruit sour with bright tartness, there was plenty of variety for side-by-side tasting.
`CRAFT BEER Antonbee Roppongi` is a beer pub in the basement floor of 5-1-5 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo. Built around draft beer, it is known as a place where beer lovers can spend time with food. From this update too, you can see a lineup that does not just chase strong hops, but also captures citrus, acidity, and fermentation nuances.
Highlights of the day
- 'Merica Y'all / Prairie Artisan Ales: For people who want to enjoy a solid hop character
- YUZU Weiss / Yokohama Bay Brewing Co.: A beer with a yuzu aroma that also pairs easily with meals
- Euskal Sagardoa / Zelaia: A presence that broadens the range of flavors on tap, including options beyond beer
- Mario Tart: Phantom Stronghold / 8 bit Brewing: A sour style suited to people looking for fruit-driven tartness
