Hop BroAt Progress in Musashikosugi, a W tap takeover means Shiga Kogen Beer and Pacific Brewing are lined up on the same day, right?
MugiWhoa! What do you mean by a double tap takeover? Does the place suddenly turn into a packed commuter train full of beer?
Hop BroBasically, it's an event where the bar's taps are dedicated to those breweries. This time, the hot part is that you can compare Japanese craft beers.
MugiI see! The first thing I'm curious about is the Italian Style Pils. Just from the name, it sounds sharp and like it'll glide right through the glass!
Hop BroExactly. The core is that light, brisk pilsner character, while still carrying the distinct backbone of Shiga Kogen Beer. This is an easy-drinking beer.
MugiAnd then there's No. 20. Isn't that number suddenly too advanced? I can't relax unless I drink them in order from one!
Hop BroThe number is more like a series tag. Plus, No. 10 aged in Ichiro's Malt barrels is also on offer, so you should get a gentle layer of barrel-derived aroma.
MugiBarrel aging makes that much of a difference!? Suddenly it feels like there's a whisky presence in it, and even though it's beer, I feel myself straightening up!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Even within Shiga Kogen, the expressions change, and with Pacific Lager in the mix, the contrast in drinkability comes through clearly.
MugiA lager with restrained bitterness sounds like something I can handle! A drinkable lager is the kind of thing that makes you accidentally order another one!
Hop BroExactly. And since it's a one-night-only event starting at 16:00 on April 7, it's perfect for dropping in after work for just two or three drinks.
MugiThen I want to go from the pils to the lager in order! I'm starting to feel like I want to be swept into Progress tonight for a tasting session!
Hop BroIt's decided. Let's make today a day to enjoy Shiga Kogen and PACIFIC side by side, slowly and properly.
