Hop BroYou can drink Kyoto Brewing’s "Fruit Life" at beer bar Cyblume in Maruyamacho, Shibuya. It’s great that you can stop by casually at a standing bar, and even better that they’ve got a tropical sour too.
MugiWow! A tropical sour at a standing bar? That already feels like getting teleported to the tropics!
Hop BroAnd since it’s a 5.5% 350 ml pour, you can enjoy it without it feeling too heavy. It works as a pre-meal drink or when you want one more.
MugiHuh, but isn’t sour beer just sour? "Fruit Life" sounds cute, but what does it taste like?
Hop BroThis year, they’ve pushed guava and mango to the front and added a little more banana too. It’s not just passion fruit-forward; they’ve adjusted the balance for more softness and a broader sweetness.
MugiExtra banana sounds like it suddenly has a dessert vibe! Gentle sweetness sounds almost kind, even though it’s a sour.
Hop BroExactly. The key is that it doesn’t just hit you with acidity, but keeps a soft mouthfeel. It’s perfect for days when you really want to feel the fruit character.
MugiCyblume having no cover charge is great too! Just drop in, have a drink, and go. That’s the ideal, isn’t it?
Hop BroThe space itself is interesting too, with room for up to about 30 people and even a 100-inch projector. A standing bar for craft beer and idol music is pretty bold.
MugiAnd on the same Kyoto Brewing tap list, there are IPAs and Belgian witbiers too, right? A comparison tasting would definitely be fun!
Hop BroYeah, I’d like to start with Fruit Life and work through the rest. Tonight, let’s begin with one light drink in Shibuya and maybe just keep going.
MugiI want to go! The feeling of wanting to drink right now has completely taken over!
