Suruga Bay Imperial IPA - 7.5% -90 BUs of hops in the boil, double dry-hopping, and krausening at packaging give this double IPA a complexity and character as rich as the Suruga Bay is deep. Suruga Bay is the deepest bay in Japan and is near Mt. Fuji. Type: Imperial India Pale Ale |
 |
Kurofune Porter (Black Ship Porter) - 6% -Kurofune is the word Japanese used to describe the
American gunboats that came to open Japan to Western trade. Kurofune Porter is sleek and forceful, but
leaves a winning bittersweet taste of chocolate and coffee on the tongue. Type: Porter
|
 |
Angry Boy Brown Ale - 6.2% -Beneath the cool facade of the warrior, a red-hot flame of intensity, determination and, yes, anger burns. So it is with this unpredictable Brown Ale: fleeting malty sweetness and warmth hide complexity, a barely controlled bitterness, and, naturally, a bit of an angry edge. Type: Brown Ale

Ibaraki, JAPAN

Hitachino Espresso Stout - 5.5% -Caramel, roasted, black
and chocolate malts provide an explosion of coffee-like flavours. The strong
espresso character comes from the addition of espresso beans to the boil. Notes
of vanilla, dark fruits , cocoa and chocolate. Hitachino uses the recipe of a
Russian Imperial Stout as the base. Pitch black color, big brown head. Aromas
of chocolate, roasted bitterness, black currants, dark fruits. Type: Imperial Stout |

Hitachino White Ale - 5% -A refreshing mildly hopped Belgian styled beer with a complex flavour of
coriander, orange peel, nutmeg Type: Belgian Wheat (Witbier)
|
 |
Hitachino New Year's Ale - 8% -Full bodied beer with sweet wheat flavour and a beautiful dense foam top. It has a pleasant bitterness and unique spicy aroma of Orange Peel, Coriander, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, and Vanilla Beans. Complex yet soothing. Type: Winter Warmer / Spiced Ale

Isekadoya Brown Ale - 5% -A delicious brown ale with hints of roasted nuts balanced with some apple
crispness in the end. Finishes clean. Type: Brown
Ale
|
 |
Isekadoya Genmai (Brown Rice) Ale - 5% -Based on our award-winnning Pale Ale recipe, our brewmaster Nakanishi took
it to another level and added "arare"roasted brown rice to create
a truly innovative and thoroughly Japanse-style beer. The resulting "genmai"
flavored ale gives a refreshingly crisp hoppy flavor and a bitter finish. |
 |
Isekadoya Imperial Smoked Porter - 7%Most beers are made from roasted malt but this is not most beers. Our Imperial
Smoked Porter is made from the highest quality smoked malt and the smokiness
is clear as soon as you take your first sip. This rich and complicated
porter is considerably darker than our pale ale but not as heavy as our
stout and surprisingly smooth. It has a strong but surprisingly refreshing
hoppy flavor that comes through the smoke before the warm, high alcohol
finish spreads throughout your pallet. |
 |
Isekadoya Triple Hop Pale Ale - 5% -A refreshing pale ale with a bit of citrus to liven things up. Is the citrus
from an orange, grapefruit, or lemon? Sorry, it's not lime! |

Mikkeller It's Alive! - 8% -Mikkellers answer and tribute to the trappist beer Orval. It's Alive is
an easy-to-drink beer, with a lot of hops. The color is amber, the foam
is high, white and dense. The potent Brettanomyces culture makes It's Alive
continue to develop in the bottle. |
 |
Mikkeller Jackie Brown - 6% -Had it been Quentin Tarantinos heroine Jackie Brown, she would probably
have said, Shut your raggedy ass up, and that would have been that. But
this is Mikkellers Jackie Brown and it somewhat more mildly mannered. In
fact this beautiful, brown beer characteristically; roasted malt taste
nearly ends like chocolate on the tongue. And then it wouldn't be a Mikkeller
beer if it wasn't well hopped. Here the green gold makes an otherwise dark
beer surprisingly fresh and easy to drink. |
 |
Mikkeller USAlive - 8% -American hops and brettanomyces together gives a unique taste experience,
and can best be described as a mix between a Belgian Orval and an American
IPA with a lemon bite. |
 |
Mikkeller Monk's Brew - 10% -Mikkeller has travelled to Belgium, more precisely on a visit to the anti-commercial, talented Trappist monks. Monk's Brew (formerly Monk's Elixir) is a heavy dark Belgian ale inspired by the Trappist monasteries of Rochefort and Westvleteren. The beer style, characterized by its high content of alcohol, distinguishes itself by its dominant yeast character, delicious malt background and balanced hop notes. |
