Feeling horny? Cool off with an eisbock at Berr Horn tonight! Jan17

In case you haven't tried it, the Beer Horn (Otaru beer) eisbock is excellent!

Beer Horn is near Akasaka Mitsuke station (yes, not far from the Hooters - sigh).
Basement first floor.

Entrance to Beer Horn

This place features Otaru brewery brewed beers on tap (German braumeister). The name comes from the fact that the beer are served in 'horns'. Either a horn shaped hand blown glass

or from an actual cow's horn.

The actual cow horns.

The white horn (weizen)

The dark horn (dunkel)

The horn - pilsner

The cow horns of course don't have handles or a flat base, so they are easy to forget about and spill but the glass horns have handles and a flat base attached. 

I recommend trying a large horn for the novelty but then going back tot the smaller more manageable glass horn glasses, not only because they won't fall down but also the glass is smooth, you can see the beer and being smooth, the beer doesn't always foam up (the horns have small holes which are nucleation sites and the beer always foams up a lot so the staff don't our weizen - a very gassy and foamy beer  in these glasses). It is cool though, drinking from a horn.

Tonight, they tap the eisbock, 13% strong doppelbock, using a freezing method to skim off the water and thus make the beer stronger in alcohol.
It is lovely. This is exclusive to Otaru's place in Hokkaido and here, in Beer Horn. One time only.
The bar opens from 5 but they tap the eisbock from 8pm.
Here is Bryan tapping the eisbock:

"Mine, all MINE!"

If you go, I'll see you there!
