Hop BroToday at Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Musashi-Kosugi, we're talking about Schwarz and Rustic Saison being on tap. The 4/15 taps are pretty classy, and that's a good thing.
MugiHuh, black beer and a saison!? Are they going all in with Black Beer Day or something!?
Hop BroFirst up is Harvest Moon's Schwarz, which has the toasty aroma of roasted malt while still not being too heavy, even though it's a black lager.
MugiA black lager?! Dark but light? Now my brain's all tangled up~.
Hop BroLager ferments slowly at low temperatures, so it tends to come out crisp. So this is basically an easy-drinking black beer.
MugiI see! So what kind of beer is Mugi Zakkoku Kobo's Rustic Saison?
Hop BroIt's a `Saison w/ Rye` made with rye from Ogawa Town, and it's the kind where grain-derived flavor comes through gently. At 5.5%, it's rustic, but it has a solid backbone.
MugiRye sounds like bread, so that must be tasty! And with Zakkoku Weizen on tap too, this is a real tasting traffic jam!
Hop BroExactly, the fun is in comparing them. That's one of Progress's strengths. You can enjoy it in-house or in bottles, and draft beer to go is 20% off on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
MugiBring your own growler, and the outdoor seats are pet-friendly? That's the best! You can drop by empty-handed, so there is no choice but to go drinking today!
Hop BroIt's decided, let's start tonight with one glass and Schwarz.
MugiI'll go for the saison too! I'm already all about beer!
