Kameari's Craft Beer and Tacos El Holi Serves Two Beers from Hakuba Brewing Company
Tokyo's Kameari beer pub, Craft Beer and Tacos El Holi, is featuring Hakuba Brewing Company from Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture. The post introduces two beers, "The Source Hoppy Lager" and "Hakuba Pale Ale," both priced at 1,080 yen.
Hop BroKameari's guest beer at El Holi is from Hakuba Brewing Company in Nagano. Just looking at it with tacos in mind already decides what my first drink is going to be.
MugiWhat! They're really serious about the taco and beer pairing? And the guest brewery is from Hakuba, so it suddenly feels like a little trip, doesn't it?
Hop BroThis time's stars are two beers from Hakuba Brewing Company: one is "The Source Hoppy Lager," and the other is "Hakuba Pale Ale." Both are 1,080 yen, which makes them easy to choose from.
MugiWhat is that! Hoppy lager sounds like it has too much information in the name alone. A lager that's hoppy? Which is it supposed to be!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: the recipe was originally switched from IPA to lager. It keeps the hop aroma you'd expect from an IPA, while bringing out the crispness of a lager and making the drink feel lighter.
MugiOhhh! So it has that fresh hop character but still goes down smoothly. It sounds like it would handle the fat and spice from tacos really well, and that sounds seriously delicious!
Hop BroExactly. The post also says it has a clear bitterness, so it's not just light and easygoing. When you drink it with food, it's the kind of beer that brings out even the toasted flavor of the tortillas.
MugiWhat about the other one, Hakuba Pale Ale? The name is classic, but is it the kind of safe pick that says, 'start with this'?
Hop BroExactly, its charm is that steady, reliable flavor. Rather than going flashy, it stays close to meat and spices, making it an easy beer to choose at a taco place like El Holi.
MugiWow, getting Hakuba vibes in Kameari is amazing! I'd love to say, 'two tacos and two beers today,' but now I'm seriously torn over which one to go for first!
At Craft Beer and Tacos El Holi in Kameari, Katsushika Ward, Tokyo, guest beer information is being shared on Instagram. The beers introduced this time are two labels from Hakuba Brewing Company (Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture). In the post, they are shown from left to right as "The Source Hoppy Lager" and "Hakuba Pale Ale," and both are priced at 1,080 yen.
"The Source Hoppy Lager" is introduced as a collaboration beer with Sauce Diner, and its defining feature is that the original IPA recipe was switched over to a lager. The post explains that it keeps the brisk hop character while also having a clear bitterness, making it a flavor that pairs easily with tacos. It is a beer designed with both lightness and drinkability in mind, and the overall setup clearly shows that it was intended to be enjoyed with food.
The other beer, "Hakuba Pale Ale," is a standard regular offering. It is an option suited to people who want a stable, dependable flavor rather than something flashy. At El Holi, which puts tacos front and center, having a basic pale ale like this makes it easier to choose based on how well it matches the meat and spices.
El Holi is a beer pub where you can enjoy Japanese craft beer together with tacos. While it is conveniently located for a casual stop in Kameari, the arrival and introduction of guest beers like these make it a place to watch, since you can try new combinations every time you visit.
