MugiWhat, there are that many!? And they even show the prices by size? That’s unbelievably considerate!
Hop BroRegular beer is 700 yen for a glass and 1,100 yen for a pint, while dark beer is 900 yen for a glass and 1,500 yen for a pint. It’s a very clear pricing setup that makes it easy to imagine how you’d drink it.
MugiBut wait, Weizen and Saison and all that just makes my head float a little... what’s the difference in wheat beers?
Hop BroThe wheat section has two Weizens from Minoh Beer and 390TAMA SAISON from Hop Dog Brewing, so it’s interesting because you can compare what’s softly aromatic versus what finishes crisp and dry. It’s a matchup of aroma and lightness.
MugiOhhh! Then what about the lagers? It feels like you can really see the shape of the malt there, so I’m curious!
Hop BroThe lager side has Yatsugatake Touchdown’s ROGGEN HELLES, Beer Hearn’s Pilsner, and Hansharo Beer’s Agari Red Lager, so it covers everything from crisp and clean to firmly malty. Even though it’s clean on the palate, each one has its own character.
MugiThere are four IPAs too!? Even from the name alone, OUR BREWING’s Magic Flavour sounds like it’s going to clash with fruitiness and bitterness!
Hop BroExactly. It also has Nagisa Beer’s IPA, Sakura Brewery’s May flower IPA, and Numazu Craft’s Baikamo IPA, so the selection is broad even when you include the ale lineup. With Shonan Beer’s Kataura Lemon Ale, Chichibu Beer’s Namimachi Blackma, and Brimmer Brewing’s Porter, you can also take a detour into dark beer and tartness.
MugiFinishing with Edel Pils is unfair! If I drank through all of that with food, I’d definitely want a glass right now!
