RIOT BEER taps Meyer lemon gose in Setagaya on July 1
RIOT BEER, a brewpub in Koma, Setagaya, announced service from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on July 1. The featured beer is a house-made Meyer lemon gose using Meyer lemons from Atashika Days in Kumano, Mie, making it a timely summer pour.
Hop BroToday's topic is RIOT BEER's new pour: on July 1 they're open from 3 to 9 p.m. in Kinuta, Setagaya, and they're tapping a Meyer lemon gose.
MugiWait, Meyer lemon gose sounds like either a beer or a wizard spell. What kind of pint is that?
Hop BroRIOT BEER runs as a brewpub setup, so the distance from brewing to serving is tiny. You get to taste the beer while its fresh character is right there.
MugiWhoa, but lactic fermentation tang suddenly makes this sound like chemistry class. Is it super sour?
Hop BroThat's the trick: gose's light salinity rounds out the acidity. Then you layer in the juicy aroma of Meyer lemons from Atashika Days in Kumano, Mie, and it turns crisp instead of harsh.
MugiWhat is that, salty lemon beer energy? That sounds dangerously crushable on a hot day. My imaginary glass is already half gone.
Hop BroAnd the post even hints at possible white Dog beer, plus it's running as 'Erii's Shumai Wednesday,' which is a ridiculous amount of weekday drop-in appeal.
MugiDrop-in appeal is a stat now? Also, the July 11 tapping party at Katsunuma Base has the everyone-brewed-it beer, Sanking Cafe food, and even rides toward Enzan Station. That's not an event, that's a field trip.
Hop BroExactly. The pint and the events are connected, which is very RIOT BEER. You can drink today's beer in Kinuta and already track the next brew and tapping.
MugiI'm sold. 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. is a very attackable window, and now I can't stop thinking about Meyer lemon aroma with that salty gose edge.
Hop BroThen it's settled: a pint in Setagaya first, white Dog if it shows up, and maybe some July 11 scouting on top. At this point my throat has already left the house.
RIOT BEER in Koma, Setagaya, will be open from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on July 1. Because it is a brewpub, the beer is close to the source: what is brewed there can be poured with very little distance between the tank and the glass. The post also frames the day as an “Ellie’s Shiumai Wednesday” service, which suggests an easygoing weekday drinking session rather than a formal event.
The main beer in the post is Meyer lemon gose, brewed with Meyer lemons from Atashika Days in Kumano, Mie. RIOT BEER describes it as a summer-ready beer with bright lactic acidity and fresh citrus character. If the usual gose saltiness is present, the beer should have enough structure to stay crisp and food-friendly rather than simply sour.
The post also mentions a possible white Dog beer and points ahead to a July 11 open-party at Katsunuma Base for a beer the team brewed together. With food from Sanking Cafe and even transport from Enzan Station mentioned, the brewery is connecting its taproom service with future brewing activity. For drinkers in Tokyo, it is a straightforward reason to check what is on tap in Koma and keep an eye on what RIOT BEER is preparing next.
