Hop BroThere's a tap update in Akasaka-Mitsuke worth paying attention to: Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke just put on five new kegs at 5 p.m. on July 26.
MugiWait, so I can do a nationwide beer trip without leaving Akasaka-Mitsuke? That is dangerously convenient!
Hop BroExactly. From Mie, Himitsu Beer brought Ise-Shima Pearl Lager, a Helles Bier with soft malt sweetness that sounds perfect for the first glass.
MugiHelles Bier? What is that, a fancy magic spell? If I say it out loud, do I get extra foam?
Hop BroThink of it as an easygoing German-style lager. Mild bitterness, smooth body, and a little bready aroma.
MugiOoh! Then is there a sweet one too? FLORA FERMENTATION's Frigg sounds like a warrior, not a strawberry anything!
Hop BroThat contrast is the fun part. Frigg is a Strawberry Milkshake Ale, so you get strawberry aroma and creamy texture, but it still drinks like beer.
MugiAnd KYOTO NUDE BREWERY's KOHAKU NO SHIZUKU has lemon and coffee beans in it? My brain is holding a staff meeting.
Hop BroIt's built on a Belgian Amber Ale, and the yeast throws esters on the nose while the lemon brightens it and the coffee beans add depth. Very distinctive.
MugiEsters? Uh oh, beer jargon alert. Translate that into normal-person language for me!
Hop BroFruit-like aromas, basically. And the lineup also has Shonan Beer's HAZY IPA #09 Jibi plus 52's Brewing exploration Kyoto Saiin's FREE JAM American IPA, so it runs from soft haze to crisp bitterness.
MugiA lager, a milkshake ale, an amber, and IPAs with serious range? Add food pairings and I am ready to get pulled into that basement in Akasaka 3-chome immediately.
Hop BroSame here. This is the kind of stop where no bar-hopping needed feels right, because I already want to open with Pearl Lager and close with FREE JAM.
Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke began pouring a new guest-beer lineup from 5:00 p.m. on July 26. The beer pub sits in the basement level of a building in Akasaka and is known for serving food that pairs well with beer, making it a practical stop for both a quick pint and a more relaxed tasting session.
Five beers were tapped. From Mie, Himitsu Beer brought Ise-Shima Pearl Lager / Helles Bier. From Shiga, FLORA FERMENTATION added Frigg / Strawberry Milkshake Ale. From Kyoto, KYOTO NUDE BREWERY introduced KOHAKU NO SHIZUKU-琥珀の雫- / Belgian Amber Ale w/ Lemon & Coffee Beans. The lineup also includes HAZY IPA #09 Jibi from Kanagawa's Shonan Beer, and FREE JAM American IPA from 52's Brewing exploration Kyoto Sain.
The list spans lager, strawberry milkshake ale, Belgian amber ale, hazy IPA, and American IPA, with ABVs ranging from 5.5% to 6.5%. That range suggests a lineup built for comparison: a softer, more approachable pint on one side, and hop-forward options on the other.
For drinkers looking to sample beers from different prefectures in one stop, the Akasaka-Mitsuke location is a strong fit. This five-tap update reflects the bar's broader appeal as a place where Japanese craft beer and food can be enjoyed together.
