Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara updates 15 taps with Repubrew and BLACK TIDE
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara posted its June 15 tap list, featuring 15 beers from Repubrew, WAR×unica, HINO Brewing×Two Rabbits, and BLACK TIDE BREWING, plus three new Zumona Beer releases.
Hop BroToday's topic is 15 taps on draft at Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara. The June 15 list has Repubrew and BLACK TIDE on it, so any plan to just stop by for one pint is already in trouble.
MugiWait, beer flights in Akihabara and takeout too? That is not a detour, that is a field trip with foam on top!
Hop BroExactly. Standouts include Repubrew's AGE AGE SAME AGE, plus WAR×unica's Vita Amara and HINO Brewing × Two Rabbits' Bud Bunny. The collabs alone make the lineup feel huge.
MugiWhat is that, Vita Amara? It sounds like a special move. Is it bitter, sweet, or a spell that summons snacks?
Hop BroThat is where it gets fun. When people say Belgian yeast character, it sounds technical, but it really just means yeast that can give you floral, expressive aromas. Zumona's Belgian Ale sounds like an easy way into that style.
MugiOhh, floral beer aroma from yeast? So beer can show up like a bouquet now. I could hold that glass and pretend I have my life together.
Hop BroAnd Zumona also mentioned Tono-grown IBUKI hops in From Tono's Hop Farmers. It's a saison, so you get a light, crisp sip with a fresh field-like hop aroma.
MugiHold on, what even is saison? That name sounds like a fashion magazine or a forest spirit.
Hop BroBest shortcut is farmhouse thirst-quencher. Saison comes from beers meant for workers, so it drinks dry, goes down fast, and still throws off a nice aromatic lift.
MugiOkay, then if BLACK TIDE's SIX is on next to Swan Lake's Strawberry Dark Saison, you can go from easygoing to wild in one sitting.
Hop BroRight, and with growler takeout available, you can have one there and keep the sequel going at home. Add BANK IPA, Album, and Nagi, and now you need a draft strategy.
MugiI am done for, I can't rank them anymore. My throat is getting thirsty before I even reach Akihabara, so let's start planning the first pour.
Tap list update
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara, a beer pub in Taito, Tokyo, posted its June 15 tap list. The bar also welcomes growlers and plastic cups for takeaway, making it a practical stop for a quick pint or a longer tasting session.
The lineup mixes a broad range of Japanese craft beers: Repubrew / AGE AGE SAME AGE, WAR×unica / Vita Amara, HINO Brewing×Two Rabbits / Bud Bunny, Zumona Beer / Weizen, Swan Lake Beer / Strawberry Dark Saison, Kamakura Beer / 甜麻季節, CRAFT BANK / BANK IPA, Swan Lake Beer × Yamamorido × Heiwacraft × Karuizawa Q / Album, Swan Lake Beer × BET / Nagi, and BLACK TIDE BREWING / SIX.
The post also highlights three beers from `@zumona.beer`: Alt, Belgian Ale, and 遠野のホップ農家から. The caption describes Alt as a style that is becoming harder to find as a year-round brew, the Belgian Ale as a bright beer fermented with Belgian yeast, and the saison as one built around IBUKI hops from Tono.
