Hop BroChiitoko Shoten in Shimousuwa put out a service notice lined up with four draft beers, and it even pushed a carrot tart too.
MugiWhat? A beer place has tart too? I’m curious whether this carrot tart tastes sweet or more vegetable-like!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. It’s described as going great with an Americano, and it’s the kind of place where you can move between coffee, light food, and beer.
MugiHuh, now I’m curious about the draft lineup. TG Pilsner already sounds strong just from the name, doesn’t it?
Hop BroActually, it’s a light, easy-drinking pilsner from Baeren Brewing. It’s all about a clean finish, so it’s perfect as the first glass.
MugiGot it! Then the Minoh Beer pale ale is the one with the aroma that kind of floats up, right?
Hop BroExactly. You can really feel the malt sweetness, so it gives you that satisfying sense of actually drinking beer. And if you go to the sour IPA after that, the whole scene changes.
MugiSour IPA, what even is that! An IPA with sourness? Is it bitter and tart at the same time? My brain can’t handle it!
Hop BroThat’s a good reaction. It’s a glass that resets your mood, and Nomcraft Brewing’s 7th Revolution Sour IPA refreshes your palate with its brightness.
MugiThen I’d want to take it slow with Kyoto Brewing’s 8% beer at the end! Snacking on dagashi too, I’d want to stay there all day and night.
Hop BroExactly. A shop you can use both day and night is strong. If I saw this lineup in Shimousuwa, I’d start with the pilsner and end up with the tart too.
MugiYeah, I want to compare the beers and eat the tart too! This is definitely a place I need to put on today’s plan!
