Hop BroTachikawa's Sakamichi Brewing brought in Craft Rock Brewing's "Welcome to Paradise" as a guest beer. For pale ale fans, it's a pretty intriguing one.
MugiWhoa! The title alone sounds fun! Isn't Welcome to Paradise the kind of name that makes you want to drink it?
Hop BroExactly. And the contents are built around Cascade, with Columbus and Ekuanot rounding it out. Rather than going flashy, it's the kind that brings out the contours of the hops cleanly.
MugiCascade? Wait, Columbus and Ekuanot? Those sound like spaceship names all of a sudden! Do hop combinations really make that much of a difference?
Hop BroHops are the ingredient that create a beer's aroma and bitterness. Cascade gives citrus notes, Columbus brings firm bitterness, and Ekuanot leans a bit tropical, so it's like a blueprint for the aroma.
MugiI see! So this beer isn't just bitter, it's actually carefully planned. And it says very dry, which sounds super easy to drink!
Hop BroExactly. Dry means sweetness doesn't linger and the aftertaste is crisp and clean. Add the clear drinking profile, and it's the kind of dangerous beer you could keep drinking for hours.
MugiA dangerous one, I like that! And if it has a moderate citrus note, the first sip is going to make me go, 'Oh!'
Hop BroRight. Instead of pushing with flash, it's a balanced beer you want to drink every day. Sakamichi Brewing started in Tachikawa in 2020 and has an attached taproom, so it's interesting that they bring in outside beers like this.
MugiHaving both house beer and guest beer is the best! It feels like the kind of place that acts as a gateway to the neighborhood.
Hop BroExactly. On top of the staples, you can discover a new beer, so drinking in Tachikawa becomes even more fun. Today I already want to compare the house-brewed and guest beers.
MugiYeah, me too. A pale ale that goes down easy is perfect for how I'm feeling right now!
