Hop BroAt the Ikebukuro East Exit beer pub vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR, Kyoto Brewing's "Summer Whim" and Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown's "Rock Weizen" have been tapped, right.
MugiWait, you mean two taps at once? Hearing that just makes me want to head straight there!
Hop BroAnd "Summer Whim" is a tropical session IPA, with hop aroma that bursts open and a crisp, light finish.
MugiA session IPA means an easy-drinking IPA, right? So it's the kind you can pound back in summer?
Hop BroExactly. It's a style that lets you enjoy the aroma without feeling heavy on the alcohol. That's why it pairs easily with food, and doesn't get in the way of a meal.
MugiOhh! Then what about "Rock Weizen"? The name makes it sound strong, like rocky wort!
Hop BroIt may look rugged, but it's gentle inside. It's a Hefeweizen whose charm is an aroma reminiscent of banana and clove, with a soft fruitiness that lingers.
MugiBanana and clove? A beer with spice notes? It suddenly sounds like a fancy bakery!
Hop BroWeizens tend to show yeast-driven aromas, so that's why. And with 20 draft beers on tap, it's easy to really see how different each one is when you compare them.
MugiWhoa, they've got the vivo!×CYCAD ones, Oni Densetsu, even Guinness - the lineup is totally jammed! I can't decide where to start!
Hop BroThey open at 4 p.m. on weekdays, 3 p.m. on Saturdays, and 3 p.m. on Sundays and holidays, so it's perfect as a day-drinking base too. Let's start with "Summer Whim" today, then move on to "Rock Weizen."
MugiThat sounds perfect! I'll start with the tropical one, then finish by lingering over the aroma. I'm getting the feeling that I want to toast right now!
