Hop BroShubo CRAFTMAN in Kyoto's Nakagyo Ward is making a pretty interesting move. It's a beer pub in a Kyoto machiya that's over 100 years old, and it opens at 3 p.m.
MugiWhat, you can drink from 3 p.m.? So it's basically welcoming daytime drinking. That's amazing!
Hop BroAnd not only does the place have counter and table seating, but the storehouse private room is almost finished too. Using the Kyoto machiya garden and storehouse this way really shows they know how to set the mood.
MugiWhat is that! Beer in a storehouse sounds so special I'm already getting restless!
Hop BroThe shop's strength is that it keeps around 40 kinds each of craft beer and sake available at all times. The fun starts with choosing what to drink.
MugiForty kinds is too many! Wait, I'd get lost just trying to choose. How am I supposed to pick one?
Hop BroFirst, it's good to divide them by whether you want something like an IPA with a strong hop bitterness, or something easy to drink with malt sweetness. Hops create aroma and bitterness, while malt is what gives beer its grainy richness.
MugiOhhh! I knew the names hops and malt, but I don't think I really understood what they do. I suddenly feel smarter!
Hop BroExactly. That's why this place is nice even if you just stop by after a walk: you can pick a glass that fits your mood. It's one to remember on days when you want craft beer in Kyoto.
MugiBeing able to drink slowly in a Kyoto machiya feels like Kyoto's reward time or something...! I want to go drink in that storehouse private room right now!
Hop BroThat's settled then. Let's go at 3 p.m. sharp today and savor that first glass slowly.
MugiLet's go! Let's dive together into the 40-tap abyss!
