Two CRAFTROCK BREWING Limited Beers Debut at Craft Beer Market Atre Kichijoji
With the in-store menu updated on April 15, two limited beers from CRAFTROCK BREWING appeared at Craft Beer Market Atre Kichijoji. In addition to a crisp lager and a fruit ale, the lineup offers a wide range from staples to IPA.
Hop BroToday’s topic is the two limited beers at the Atre Kichijoji store. At Craft Beer Market, a fresh lineup from CRAFTROCK BREWING has appeared, right?
MugiWhoa, two limited beers debuting at the same time!? And you can drink them right next to the station? That’s the kind of thing that pulls you in while you’re out shopping!
Hop BroFirst up is Yamane Lager. It has a clean, lager-like drinking feel and a crisp finish, so it’s the kind you can easily keep drinking.
MugiWhat even is that crispness? Does a crisp finish mean it just ends cleanly? I like that it doesn’t linger all heavy!
Hop BroExactly. It means it doesn’t stay heavy in your mouth. That’s why lagers are great with food and also work well as a first beer.
MugiThe other one, Sauna Beer, sounds intriguing just from the name! Is it the kind you’d want after a sauna? That sounds amazing!
Hop BroThis one is all about the tartness of passion fruit. As a fruit ale, it also has a soft sweetness, and the balance between aroma and flavor is fun to explore.
MugiI thought fruit ales were more like sweet juice, but you drink them based on the balance of sweetness and tartness. The beer world is way deeper than I expected!
Hop BroAnd this shop doesn’t just have standard lagers and white beers, it also has multiple IPAs on the lineup, so comparing bitterness and aroma is interesting too.
MugiThat’s basically a tasting session! At ¥480 for 250 ml, it’s easy to try, and I want to start with the limited pair and then move on to IPA!
Hop BroThen let’s start with a tasting of the two limited beers today. Whether it’s just one drink or with a meal, this is the kind of menu that makes you want to stop by on a whim.
MugiYeah, I want a drink so badly already! Just the sound of having a beer in Kichijoji makes me want to change today’s plans!
