Hop BroGood Hops in Tono is pouring its new lager "The Classic Hops" at the weekend taproom! You can drink it there on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 11:00 to 18:00, just a 2-minute walk from Tono Station.
MugiWhat! A new release already! What kind of beer is it? The name alone sounds super classic!
Hop BroIt's a Lager with 5.0% ABV. It uses Tono-grown Saaz plus German hops like Hallertau Mittelfrüh and Hersbrucker, so it's basically a "classic" build.
MugiHallertau... Hersbrucker...!? Are those spells!? And what do you mean by "classic build"?
Hop BroIn short, it's centered on noble hops. Instead of big tropical flavors, it brings out grassy notes and clean floral and herbal aromas. It's light and easy to keep drinking!
MugiAhh, so it's a "quietly delicious lager"! The kind that works as both your first beer and your forever second beer!
Hop BroExactly! And the March 14 (Sat.) tap list has six beers, including "The Classic Hops" and "Twilight Cascade" as NEW. The rest are "Cheerful Nectaron," "Lupulin Season," "SORACHI ACE RESPECT," and "Trinity."
MugiThat lineup is strong! Do they have food? If it's just beer, I'll be a tipsy-comedy act in no time!
Hop BroThey've got mixed nuts, fries, and fish and chips. Prices start at M 650 yen and L 1,100 yen. There's also non-alcoholic options, and the cans include two new releases, plus some items at 15% OFF and some with very low stock.
MugiPerfect! I'll drink "The Classic Hops" on tap and check the cans on the way home! My mouth is already waiting for grassy and herbal flavors!
