Evolve Beer&Kitchen posts June 3 tap list with Barebottle and Minoh Beer
Evolve Beer&Kitchen in Mukojima shared its June 3 tap list, featuring Barebottle Brewing Company’s jalapeño lager, several Minoh Beer releases, and hop-forward pours from Y.MARKET Brewing and Totopia Brewery.
Hop BroEvolve Beer&Kitchen in Mukojima just dropped its June 3 tap list, and it is stacked. Ten taps from Barebottle, Minoh, Y.MARKET, and Totopia make it easy to build a full drinking lineup from first pour to last.
MugiWhat, ten beers on tap? That is wild. Lager, IPA, dark beer, fruit beer... I would spend ten minutes just panic-pointing at the menu!
Hop BroThe head-turner is Barebottle Brewing Company's Hella Jalapeño. It is a Jalapeño Lager, so you get a clean lager base with a little peppery kick layered on top.
MugiA lager with jalapeño in it? What is that supposed to be, crisp and refreshing and then suddenly your tongue gets jump-scared?
Hop BroPretty much, but more in a fun way than a pain way. The point is that gentle spicy lift, not full heat, so it should work really well with food.
MugiMinoh Beer sounds amazing too. Peach Weizen plus Yuzu White and Nice Bitter? That lineup feels like an orchard, a pub, and a snack bar all met at one tap wall.
Hop BroAnd they even have Nitro ver. of Nice Bitter. Nitro means it is poured with nitrogen instead of standard carbonation, so the bubbles get finer and the mouthfeel turns softer and creamier.
MugiNo way, different bubble physics? So regular Nice Bitter and nitro Nice Bitter are basically siblings with completely different on-camera personalities.
Hop BroIf you want hop character, Y.MARKET's Lupulin Nectar, Totopia's Glitchphobia, and NAMACHA'n's Brut Pale Ale are the move, especially that DDH West Coast IPA. DDH means extra dry hopping, which pushes aroma way forward.
MugiThat settles it, I want the food and beer pairing tour. Celery leaf namul, shumai, chicken nanban soba, then a run from peachy and peppery to barrel-aged imperial stout sounds way too good.
Evolve Beer&Kitchen, a beer pub in Mukojima near Tokyo Skytree, posted its tap list for Wednesday, June 3. The bar was operating from 17:00 to 24:00 that day, and the lineup ranged from a jalapeño lager to fruit-forward wheat beer, bitters, hazy IPA, DDH West Coast IPA, barrel-aged stout, and a familiar lager finish.
The tap list
- Barebottle Brewing Company: Hella Jalapeño [Jalapeño Lager]
- Minoh Beer: Peach Weizen -Shimizu Hakuto ver.- [Fruits Weizen]
- Minoh Beer: Yuzu Howaito [White Ale]
- Minoh Beer: Nice Bitter [Bitter]
- Minoh Beer: Nice Bitter -Nitro ver.- [Bitter -Nitro ver.-]
- NAMACHAん BREWING: Tori aezu Nama! Brut Pale Ale ver. [Brut Pale Ale]
- Y.MARKET BREWING: Lupulin Nectar [Hazy IPA]
- Totopia Brewery: Glitchphobia [DDH West Coast IPA]
- Minoh Beer: Barrel Aged Imperial Stout [Barrel Aged Imperial Stout]
- SAPPORO: Black Label [Lager]
The most distinctive pour is Barebottle Brewing Company’s Hella Jalapeño. As a jalapeño lager, it should bring a clean lager profile with a little extra kick. Minoh Beer fills much of the board, with a fruit wheat beer, a yuzu white ale, two versions of Nice Bitter, and a barrel-aged imperial stout, giving the list a wide range from bright and refreshing to dark and layered.
Hop-forward drinkers have three clear choices: NAMACHAん BREWING’s Brut Pale Ale ver., Y.MARKET BREWING’s Lupulin Nectar, and Totopia Brewery’s Glitchphobia. Together they offer a useful spread of hop aroma and bitterness, making it easy to compare styles across the flight or order a sequence of beers through the night.
Food is an important part of the draw as well. The post highlights celery-leaf namul, grilled baby corn, shumai with duck, mitsuba, and spring onion, butter chicken curry croquettes, and warm chicken nanban soba. That mix of snacks, heavier plates, and noodle dishes suits a beer pub built around pairing food with rotating taps.
The post also notes upcoming plans: a Y.MARKET Brewing tap takeover on July 4-5 and Evolve’s 5th anniversary event on September 5-6. With both the current tap list and future events in play, the venue looks set to stay busy over the coming months.
