Mikio Kiuchi, brewer of Japan's preeminent craft beer label, Hitachino Nest, will be meeting and greeting at Jose Pistola's tonight beginning at 5 p.m. Matthius B. Niedhart of prestigious importer B. United will be making the rounds, as well.� Jose's owners, Casey Parker and Joe Gunn, have pulled in some rarely-seen drafts to welcome Kiuchi, Niedhart and all the drinkers surely descending on their establishment tonight.
Hitachino Ginger Ale, belgian-style White and Espresso Stout will be poured on draft, as well as Hitachino XH in bottles � XH is� an American-style strong ale matured for 3 months in Shochu (distilled sake) barrels.
The bold brews of Kiuchi have more in common with experimental beer from Belgium's smallest breweries, like De Dolle, than with typical Japanese light lagers. It is fitting that DeDolle's unusual Christmas ale, Stille Nacht, and tart, funky triple, Dulle Teve, will be on draft tonight, too.
Jose Pistola's, 263 S. 15th St., 215-545-4101

[...] “That’s why I’m turning Japanese.” And this week there’s plenty of help. Tonight, Japan’s Hitachino Nest will be featured at Jose Pistola’s. There will be some rarely seen Hitachino beers on draft as well as brewer, Mikio Kiuchi. [Meal Ticket] [...]
I picked up Hitachino Nest's wheat beer in a sixer mixer from the Foodery and it was scrumptious. To be honest, I might have been sold on the cute owl on the label, but I'm disappointed that I missed the chance to meet and greet Kiuchi.
