Hop BroThe W7 Anniversary Festival at NUMBER 6 in Nihonbashi Koamicho is the kind of thing that makes beer lovers buzz. On May 23, they’re teaming up with Kanpai! Brewing to pour a beer that celebrates the anniversary.
MugiWhoa! A collab anniversary festival already sounds totally celebratory! But what is W7? It feels like some mysterious code!
Hop BroIt’s an Imperial IPA made with seven kinds of malt and seven kinds of hops. Malt gives the body, and hops create the aroma and bitterness, so just from the numbers you can tell they’re going all in.
MugiWhat? Seven kinds each of malt and hops? Isn’t that too much? I feel like the flavors would start arguing and hold a meeting at the table!
Hop BroNo, that’s where the craftsmanship comes in. They build it on a rich malt foundation, then layer on hop aroma and bitterness, so even with a lot going on, it still comes together cleanly.
MugiAhh! Imperial IPA sounds stronger than a regular IPA. So it’s got serious drinkability?
Hop BroExactly. It tends to be a beer with a solid backbone, including the alcohol presence. And since NUMBER 6 is a beer pub, it’s also a great place to enjoy it slowly with food.
MugiI love that! The GOOD FOOD & GOOD TIMES vibe is exactly my thing! It doesn’t feel too flashy, and it looks genuinely comfortable too!
Hop BroAnd in the May 12 post, they also said that because of a private booking, they were scheduled to open around 9 p.m. Around the anniversary, there’s always movement, so following the tap updates is part of the fun.
MugiI can’t wait anymore! I’m ready to wait for May 23 with a toast and celebrate while drinking that Imperial IPA! Hop bro, I’m already feeling like we should go now!
