Tap List for April 25

Beer Pub Neko to Azarashi announced its lineup on Instagram for Saturday, April 25, from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.. Just a 3-minute walk from the south exit of Mitaka Station, it has the feel of a small, counter-focused beer pub where you can quietly look for the pint you want based on your mood.

For this day’s taps, the lineup balances bright citrus- and fruit-driven flavors with classic German styles. The tap list is as follows, with 10 beers in total.

1. Hideji Beer "Kyushu Craft Kinkan"
2. Locobeer "Bourbon Barrel Aged Heihachiro"
3. KIX BEER "Hassaku Ale"
4. Y Market "HYSTERIC IPA"
5. Plank Brewery "Pilsaar"
6. Sankt Gallen "Shonan Gold"
7. Yokohama Beer "Pale Ale"
8. Fujizakura Heights "Weizen"
9. Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing "Aizu Shioyama Suppe"
10. Yokohama Beer "Alt"

Among the fruit-forward beers, citrus labels such as kinkan, hassaku, and Shonan Gold stand out. Added to that are beers with clearly defined styles, like Plank Brewery’s Pilsaar, Fujizakura Heights’ Weizen, and Yokohama Beer’s Alt, creating a lineup that makes side-by-side tasting especially appealing. The HYSTERIC IPA, which is said to be available in limited quantity, will likely catch the eye of IPA fans as well.

On the food side, a limited-time fresh frankfurter is being served boiled. It is said to be about 100 grams, so it sounds less like a light snack and more like a satisfying bite. The day’s greens are said to be "norabo-na". Being able to pair beer with seasonal ingredients is another distinctly fitting touch for this shop.

Beer Pub Neko to Azarashi is a place that values pairings between its dishes and the wide variety of craft beers born from brewers’ free ideas. Whether you want to savor one glass at the counter or try everything from fruit ales to lagers and porters, it’s the kind of spot suited to a night spent tasting broadly.
