Hop BroUtsunomiya's Want a Beer has released its 5/2 tap list. Hours are 12:00 to 23:00, L.O. 22:00, and along with 6 craft beer taps you get spring Italian dishes too.
MugiWhoa! So it's only 6 taps, but super dense? And a beer pub that also has the face of an Italian izakaya is being greedy, isn't it?!
Hop BroHere's the kicker from the first one. Hopkotan's Full Throttle is an American IPA, hoppy and bitter, meaning it's the type where you can really enjoy bitterness and hop character.
MugiHoppy means it has a lot of hops, right? But when I hear bitter, I brace myself a little... why is a beer that bitter so popular?!
Hop BroIt's not just the bitterness; aroma is the star. Black Tide Brewing's Heaven's Age is a Milky Hazy IPA, using milk and oat protein to make it soft and hazy on the palate.
MugiWait, milk and oats!? The idea of putting those in beer is too free! It sounds like dessert, but it's still IPA.
Hop BroAnd Onidensetsu's Kinoni Pale Ale is a Krush single-version American Pale Ale with citrus and stone-fruit aromas. When you showcase a hop with just one variety, its individuality really stands out.
MugiKrush single sounds like a one-man show for hops? Citrus and stone fruit... that's the kind of aroma that makes my stomach growl like I'm standing in a fruit section.
Hop BroThe collaborations are fun too. Romanchikku Mura × Want a Beer's Flesh!!! is a Fruits Sour Ale hand-pressed with five kinds of citrus, and SPECIALS is a Belgian White with amanatsu, hassaku, and more; the acidity and freshness make them perfect for spring.
MugiWhat is that! It's way too perfect with spring ingredients. If there are clams spaghetti, bamboo-shoot fritters, and sakura shrimp zepolle too, I want to order the whole thing!
Hop BroThe closer is THE KICHI's Geppo ~Moon Walk~. It's a West Coast Pilsner with citrus and piney aromas, light on its feet but with plenty of aroma. This is the kind of beer that makes you want one on the terrace.
MugiYeah, I want to drink right now! If reservations are available on LINE, I might just head to Utsunomiya for the spring feast and the 6 taps~.
