PEDROLINO taps two new Ise Kadoya Brewery beers, setting up a red-vs.-West Coast tasting
Beer pub PEDROLINO in Osaka's Andoji-cho announced two new taps in a March 20 post. Ise Kadoya Brewery's "Imperial Red Ale" and "Fresh-Pressed Beyond the Pacific" are on tap at the same time, making it possible to compare a malt-forward red and a hop-led pilsner in one place.
Hop BroAt PEDROLINO in Osaka's Andoji-cho, two Ise Kadoya Brewery beers have been tapped at once. This time, the comparison between "Imperial Red Ale" and "Fresh-Pressed Beyond the Pacific" is the exciting part.
MugiWait, a red one and a hop-heavy one at the same time!? That feels like a tasting set for sure. It's the kind of lineup that makes you wonder which one to start with!
Hop BroFirst, Imperial Red Ale has a solid malt richness, with strong bitterness and hop flavor layered on top. It also comes with a revival-style backstory, so it really feels like the very center of red beers.
MugiWhat's malt? The very center of red beers? So it's not just a beer that's red?
Hop BroIt's not just about the color. Malt is malted grain, and it's the base that gives beer its aroma, sweetness, and body. That's why this Imperial Red Ale lets you enjoy the balance of bitterness and sweetness.
MugiOhh! So the other one, Fresh-Pressed Beyond the Pacific, is the one where the aroma takes center stage? It mentions lime and passion fruit, so it's basically like tropical juice!
Hop BroExactly. It also brings peach and mango notes, so it's very much in the lane of latest hop expression. While it keeps the light, crisp feel of a pilsner-style beer, the dry, clean finish is what makes it so satisfying.
MugiA pilsner that aromatic!? Dry and clean suddenly sounds like a very grown-up phrase!
Hop BroIn other words, one is for taking your time with rich red malt character, and the other is for a sharp burst of hop aroma. PEDROLINO calling it a fusion of old and new makes total sense, and even within Ise Kadoya Brewery you can clearly see the difference in direction.
MugiAnd they even have Nara Brewing's LIGHT HOUSE and Barbera Grape Lambic by the glass? There are too many choices - it's paradise!
Hop BroExactly. You could pair them with food, or just take your time comparing the beers on their own. If we can get there while it's on tap, I'd want to enjoy the red and the West Coast all at once.
MugiYeah, exactly - this is one we have to drink! Tonight's pint is decided: PEDROLINO!
In a post published on March 20, PEDROLINO (Pedro Rino) announced that it had newly tapped two Ise Kadoya Brewery beers under the theme of "fusion of old and new." The stars this time are Imperial Red Ale (ABV 7.0%), which was also discussed in a revival context, and Fresh-Pressed Beyond the Pacific (ABV 5.5%), which incorporates the latest hop products.
According to the explanation in the post, Imperial Red Ale is built around a balance of strong bitterness, hop flavor, and malt-derived richness. Fresh-Pressed Beyond the Pacific, meanwhile, is introduced as having aromas reminiscent of lime, passion fruit, peach, and mango, along with a dry, clean finish. Even though both are "hop-forward beers," this pairing lets you enjoy how their directions differ.
In the tap lineup for the day, these two were joined by Nara Brewing's LIGHT HOUSE (micro porter, ABV 3.0%). Also listed as a glass pour was Barbera Grape Lambic / Oud Beersel (ABV 8.0%), and Nara Brewing's UNDERWATER (ABV 11.0%) was noted in the refrigerated stock as well.
PEDROLINO is a beer pub in Andoji-cho, Chuo Ward, Osaka City, and the post presents a style centered on three draft beers while also offering a broad selection of bottled beer and wine. It is a setup that suits both people who want to keep drinking with food and those who want to compare beers on their own. This time, in particular, it is a chance to follow Ise Kadoya Brewery's "classic red" and "modern hop expression" at the same time. If you're interested, it would be wise to check the latest serving status before visiting.
