Hop BroToday’s featured beer is HOPKOTAN Brewing’s "IN THE NAME OF KRUSH," introduced by Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Musashi-Kosugi. They’re serving it on April 16 from 16:00 to 23:00, and for hop lovers, this is one you shouldn’t miss.
MugiWhoa, that shop name is already packed with information! But "IN THE NAME OF KRUSH" sounds intense just from the name! Is the KRUSH hop focus really that easy to understand?
Hop BroExactly, and that’s the point. It puts KRUSH’s aroma front and center while also bringing out a firm bitterness. The article describes it as a West Coast Pilsner, and what feels good is that it has clarity without losing its lightness.
MugiWhoa, there it is again! Is a West Coast Pilsner a pilsner? An IPA? Which is it!? When you say clear bitterness, are you drawing lines in my mouth?
Hop BroThat’s a good one. Roughly speaking, it’s like adding West Coast-style hop presence to the drinkability of a pilsner, so the hop definition comes through clearly. That’s why even with a bright aroma, it doesn’t feel loose on the palate.
MugiSo it’s easy to drink, but the hops are the star! Hearing orange and tropical fruit aromas already makes me feel like I’m in the tropics in my head! Just hearing bright aroma gets me excited!
Hop BroAnd Progress is a beer pub and bottle shop near Musashi-Kosugi Station, so it’s really convenient. They have 20% off takeaway draft beer every Wednesday and Thursday, you can bring your own growler, and they’ll also provide cups and plastic bottles.
MugiWait, that’s so considerate! And the outdoor seats welcome pets and even have leash hooks? That’s too kind! Having both city drinking and takeout options is super convenient.
Hop BroExactly. You can enjoy your first pint in the shop, then smoothly take some home for later. IN THE NAME OF KRUSH is perfect as a first drink, and the nice part is that you can carry that hop impression home with you.
MugiJust listening to this makes my throat remember beer already! And cashless payments only sounds modern and smart! It feels like a place you can drop into casually!
Hop BroRight? Being able to quickly drink a HOPKOTAN Brewing beer at Progress in Musashi-Kosugi is a pretty big draw. This definitely belongs on the list of tonight’s beer candidates.
MugiYep, decided! I’ll drink it at the shop, and if I have room left, I’ll aim to take some home too! If it’s called a beer for hop lovers, then I have to go!
