Hop BroCraft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Musashi-Kosugi brought out a great tap on May 21. Today it's a saison and a stout, which is a pretty irresistible lineup.
MugiWhoa! A one-two punch of a saison and a stout? That's already strong! And there's a place this fun in Musashi-Kosugi?
Hop BroExactly, and the first star is karuizawaQ's lazy afternoon saison. It has a lemony brightness, a little spiciness, and a herbal note from noble hops layered on top.
MugiWhat is that! Noble hops sounds way too advanced all of a sudden! Hop-bro, am I being left behind?
Hop BroYou're fine. Think of it as a herbal aroma. It's elegant without being flashy, pairs well with food, and is easy to sip on its own, which is one of the great things about a saison.
MugiOhh! Then it sounds great for a first drink too! And it's sneaky delicious to be so light while still so aromatic.
Hop BroAnd the other one is Utyoten Brewing's Jazz Irish Dry Stout. It has roasty notes like coffee and dark chocolate, yet it drinks light and dry.
MugiWait, black but light?! That gap between appearance and taste is huge. This is the kind of beer you want on a rainy day!
Hop BroExactly that. "Perfect for the rainy season" is the right way to put it. Because it's not too heavy, it's the kind of beer you can sip slowly on a day when you want to take your time.
MugiAnd Wednesdays and Thursdays are 20% off take-home draft beer, right? One at the shop, one at home. That's basically me being way too nice to myself, and it's the best!
Hop BroYou can bring your own growler, and they also have cups and PET bottles ready, so you can use the draft-to-go service without bringing anything. This is definitely a place where you want to do both, in-house and takeaway.
MugiYeah, I can't stop wanting both tonight! Let's start with the saison for something bright, then move on to the stout and savor it slowly!
Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Musashi-Kosugi is a beer pub and bottle shop open on weekdays from 16:00 to 23:00 and on weekends and holidays from 13:00 to 23:00. In a post on Thursday, May 21, the shop announced karuizawaQ's "lazy afternoon saison" as the beer tapped that day.
This saison is designed around bright, lemon-like esters from saison yeast, a subtle spiciness, and herbal aromas from noble hops. It offers layers of aroma within a light body, making it easy to enjoy with a meal or on its own.
Also recommended was Utyoten Brewing's "Jazz." True to the style of an Irish Dry Stout, it features roasty notes reminiscent of coffee and dark chocolate, along with a smooth mouthfeel. Despite its black appearance, it drinks lightly, and its dry finish makes it an easy choice even in the rainy season.
One of the shop's clear attractions is that takeaway draft beer is 20% off every Wednesday and Thursday. It accepts growlers brought from home, and cups and PET bottles are also available, so you can use the self-serve draft option without bringing anything. Cashless payments only; the outdoor seating allows pets and includes leash hooks. It is a place where it's easy to enjoy one beer in the shop and another to take home.
