Hop BroThe beer pub in Funabashi, CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI, is doing something interesting on June 7. It will host NEUT BREWING's first tap takeover, so this is definitely one to check out.
MugiHuh! A tap takeover? Are they taking over the taps!? Just the name sounds like an incident!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's like one brewery takes over the bar's kegs all at once. This time they're saying it will be mostly hazy IPAs, so the aroma should be pretty intense.
MugiOhhh! But does hazy mean the beer is cloudy? I want to know the truth behind hazy beers!
Hop BroExactly. It's often cloudy because of yeast and hop-derived components. And since IPA puts hops in the spotlight, the way the aroma comes through is what makes it fun.
MugiWhat? So it's one of those you can drink like fruit juice? I'm curious about that juicy feel!
Hop BroThat's exactly the idea. CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI's strength is that you can drink at a relaxed pace near the station, and because there are taps close to kicking, you really don't want to miss the current lineup.
MugiWait, there are already some that are about to be gone!? That's a serious first-come, first-served vibe!
Hop BroAnd the food is great too. The asparagus and spring onions baked in foil connect the sweetness of the season with the bitterness of hops really well.
MugiIf they even have foil-baked vegetables, isn't that basically a win? The pairing of beer and vegetables is really that good?
Hop BroYeah, June 7 looks like a day when you can compare NEUT BREWING beers slowly, and since there's also the Kampai PASS guide through the end of the month, it's a perfect base for drinking around Funabashi.
MugiNow I definitely want to go! I want to raise a glass in Funabashi with a hop-scented pint in hand!
CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI, on the second floor in Honcho 1-chome, Funabashi City, has been making its presence felt as a beer pub where people can relax and enjoy craft beer near the station. In a May 25 post, the pub noted that there would be no new beers tapped, but that several taps were close to kicking, suggesting there are a few beers people will want to finish while they can.
The post's hashtags include Aozora Brewery, Yellow Beer Works, Ground Tap Brewery, Black Tide Brewing, Kyoto Brewing, Kobo Brewery, Hiroshima North Beer, Hop Kotan Brewing, and 315 Beer. The lineup suggests a wide range of breweries and makes it easy to imagine a tap list that changes its character from day to day.
On the food side, the foil-baked asparagus and spring onions are being highlighted again. The sweetness of seasonal vegetables and the hot foil-baked dish seem like a great match for hop-forward IPAs and hazy styles. Even without flashy new releases, it has the kind of local beer-pub charm that keeps people entertained through changing taps and a seasonal dish.
In addition, a tap takeover by NEUT BREWING is scheduled for June 7. It is expected to focus on hazy IPAs and IPAs, making it an event worth watching for anyone who wants to slowly savor hop aroma and juiciness. There is also an announcement for the Kampai PASS available through the end of the month, making it an easy stop as part of a Funabashi bar-hopping route.
