Hop BroBeer Stand Amber Rondo in Sendai is updating 9 taps on 3/15, and the lineup is seriously hot!
MugiWait, 9 labels out of 10 taps? That's basically a near-total turnover!
Hop BroExactly. What makes it interesting is the mix of domestic and overseas beers, from Kirin to Cloudwater and Dieu Du Ciel.
MugiWow, and they still have a local touch with something like Black Tide's Hoya Boya. That's awesome!
Hop BroThe style range is broad too, with an imperial stout, Black IPA, and even a D-IPA, so it's a high-density hop lineup.
MugiWhat is that? Just hearing D-IPA sounds intense... it's like a spell or something!
Hop BroSimply put, D-IPA is a stronger, more aromatic IPA with boosted hop aroma and bitterness, so it's the kind of beer you drink for the flavor punch.
MugiI get it! And if it's easy to get in from 15:00 to 17:00, plus they're offering extra cilantro on the food, they're really going all in!
Hop BroPair that with the beer burritos or the fried cilantro gyoza and the aroma really pops, and with the cherry blossoms inside the shop at their best, it completes the whole early-spring beer mood.
MugiIt's settled then! Today I'm going for a full-on 9-beer tasting at Amber Rondo, starting strong from the first glass!
