Hop BroAt Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo, they’ve tapped two guest kegs today. Break Edge and De Ranke side by side is the kind of lineup that beer comparison fans can’t resist.
MugiWait, two kegs at once!? And you can drink something that serious in Takadanobaba? That really overturns the student-town image!
Hop BroThe lineup is Break Edge’s BxE IPL 6.5% and De Ranke’s Hop Harvest 2025. Both have really clear personalities, right?
MugiWhat even is an IPL? It looks like a cousin of IPA, but India Pale Lager sounds kind of difficult!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it’s a style that layers hop aroma onto the crispness of lager yeast. That’s why BxE IPL tends to have a sharp, well-defined drinking impression.
MugiI see, so it’s refreshing but still aromatic. Sounds like a game where you try to find the shape of the hops!
Hop BroMeanwhile, Hop Harvest 2025 is all about the yeast-driven character typical of a Belgian pale ale. The interesting part is how the hop aroma layers onto that, little by little.
MugiYeast-driven character sounds like the beer is acting a little!? But that’s the kind of thing that gives off Belgian vibes!
Hop BroAnd Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo is open from 15:00 to 24:00 on weekdays, and from 12:00 on weekends and holidays, so it’s easy to drop by after work or for daytime drinking.
MugiFollowing rotating drafts in Takadanobaba sounds amazing. If we’re going in with a tasting comparison in mind, should we start with something crisp?
Hop BroGood idea. Starting with BxE IPL to reset the palate, then moving to Hop Harvest 2025 to see the broader range sounds fun. This really means we’ve got to go pick our first drink of the night now, doesn’t it?
