Hop BroThe tap list for March 27 has been released at Want a Beer, the beer pub in Utsunomiya’s Motoimaizumi district. Seafood dishes and six draft beers all in one place feels like a full-on spring feast, doesn’t it?
MugiWait, seafood dishes are the star and there are six kinds of beer too!? That’s the kind of thing that makes your stomach growl before you even drink!
Hop BroNice catch. For example, there’s carpaccio of Bungo-ji sea bream from Oita and even fried firefly squid, so the flavor of the spring sea really comes through.
MugiSpring sea sounds delicious, but carpaccio somehow feels way too fancy all of a sudden. My hands are already shaking from nerves!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s a dish of thinly sliced fish with oil and acidity added. If you’re pairing it with beer, Fiction / Hop Kotan’s West Coast Pale Ale does a really good job.
MugiWhat is that, just hearing tropical aroma makes it an automatic win! Bitter but light sounds almost unfairly easy to drink!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, this keg gets its aroma pushed up hard through double dry hopping. There’s also Hidden Tresure XPA and Fruit Basket IPA, so the citrus flow is beautifully put together.
MugiWow, the citrus character really comes forward? That’s definitely my kind of thing! But XPA and IPA sound like meeting materials, and now my head is getting scrambled!
Hop BroXPA is a bit lighter, leaning toward IPA, while IPA is for really enjoying the hop character. Then there are curveballs like Charcoal-Roasted Coffee Mild Ale and Meguri, so the lineup stays interesting.
MugiEven seasonal touches like yuzu and dill make this feel like a spring feast experience. If the terrace is reserved but the inside is open, I want to go right now!
Hop BroBusiness hours are 15:00 to 23:00, with last order at 22:00. If you pair seafood and six drafts with the final pour of Getsuho ~Moonwalk~, you might not want to go home tonight.
MugiNot being able to go home would be a problem, but I can’t stop wanting to drink right now! Then today let’s leave everything to Want a Beer, the spring sea, and the beer!
