Beer O'clock Adds Senba Brewery's Okaeri Kölsch as a New Tap
Beer O'clock, a beer pub in Chiba's Fujimi area, has announced Senba Brewery's Okaeri Kölsch (Kölsch/5.0%) as a new tap. The post also notes continuous opening hours, bottled Nara Brewing beers, and several upcoming events.
Hop BroI brought a good Chiba Station tip today. Beer O'clock just tapped Senami Brewery's Okawari Kolsch as a new guest beer.
MugiWait, that name is already dangerous! It sounds like one more glass is guaranteed, so what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Kolsch at 5.0% , light and crisp like a lager, low on bitterness, and gently sweet from the malt.
MugiOoh! But hold on, what is Kolsch exactly? It feels lager-ish, but you're saying it's not just a lager? My brain is buffering!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Kolsch is an ale brewed with top fermentation, then conditioned cool for a clean finish, so it has this hybrid kind of charm.
MugiWhat! So it's basically the two-way star of beer. And if it's low in bitterness , even I could probably drink it super easily.
Hop BroAnd Beer O'clock is open straight through from 12:00 to 23:30 , which makes it easy to drop in anytime from lunch to late evening.
MugiThat's perfect! Even on a rainy day when trains are a mess, you can duck in and relax without watching the clock.
Hop BroThere's more too: another Senami first-batch beer is also on tap, four bottled beers from Nara Brewing are in stock, and Taco Weeks starts on August 20.
MugiWait, so now my snack schedule is forming too? This place just jumped onto my autumn detour list.
Hop BroFirst priority is the new tap. With that light body and soft malt sweetness, it's perfect for the first pour , and then the name probably becomes your fate.
MugiI'm done for, my throat made a noise just imagining it. At this point I only want to raise a glass there today!
