SOUL BIRD in Hamamatsucho updates its 8-tap list, from Dark Mild to WC IPA
The beer pub Cafe & CraftBeer Dining SOUL BIRD in Tokyo's Hamamatsucho announced that day's tap list in its April 28 post, "HAPPY NIGHT SOUL BIRD." The lineup spans a broad range of styles, from Dark Mild Ale, Coffee Stout, Single Hop Pale Ale, sour, Hazy IPA, Double IPA, and West Coast IPA.
Hop BroThe 8-tap update in Hamamatsucho is pretty hot. Cafe & CraftBeer Dining SOUL BIRD posted that day's "Today's BEER on TAP" as "HAPPY NIGHT SOUL BIRD," and it's exactly the kind of lineup that makes a night of tasting really fun.
MugiWhat, eight taps!? Hamamatsucho's night suddenly feels like a beer festival. And the table seats are fully booked, so popularity is clearly off the charts!
Hop BroWhat stands out first is the Gekizaka Dark Mild Ale, with its lightly malty appeal. A Dark Mild is a style that looks dark but drinks easy, letting you enjoy the balance between roasted aroma and a light finish.
MugiWait, really? It's dark but not too heavy? So something like Lilac Coffee Stout would hit harder?
Hop BroExactly. A Coffee Stout layers in coffee aroma, so the toastiness really comes forward. And when you add something like MEET ME, a Single Hop Pale Ale, it's designed to show off the hop character right away, which makes the tasting comparison especially interesting.
MugiI see! A Single Hop Pale Ale is easy to compare because it puts one hop variety to work. I'm also curious about the fruity Viburnum and the tropical-leaning Fenêtre sur les Tropiques!
Hop BroAlong with those, having cosmic tiger, TEMPEST, and Good Bad News on the list is great too. And what feels so SOUL BIRD-like is being able to see brewers from Japan and abroad at a glance, from Kanpai! × Matsumoto Brewery to Threes Brewing.
MugiWow, just the brewery names are enough to fill you up! And a beer pub where you can enjoy it with a meal sounds amazing. It looks like the counter seats are available too, so it seems easy to drop in.
Hop BroExactly. With everything from a light Dark Mild to a dark stout and a hop-forward IPA, it's strong because you can choose based on your mood, from dark beers to IPAs. Just thinking about the order to drink them in is already fun.
MugiI've decided! I'll start with the lighter ones and finish with an IPA. I want to head to SOUL BIRD and look for tonight's drink. It definitely makes me want one!
