Hop BroToday's topic is a beer pub in Taito: BEER OTAKU SPICE just tapped NOMCRAFT Brewing's "Green Magic" as a guest beer.
MugiWhat! That name alone sounds powerful. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Hazy IPA style made with Mosaic, Citra, Simcoe, and Cascade, so the hop character comes out loud right away.
MugiWhoa, but green aroma means what exactly? Like diving face-first into a grassy field?
Hop BroNot that extreme. Grassy, resinous notes means a fresh foresty vibe with a slightly sticky hop aroma layered on top.
MugiResinous suddenly sounds like science class! Does that pair with actual food?
Hop BroIt does. The aroma stays sharp, so it can stand up to biryani, and then that tropical stone-fruit impression shows up behind it.
MugiAnd on top of chicken and tuna biryani, they also have lunch-only mazesoba? That's just unfair in the best way.
Hop BroThe schedule helps too: 11:30 to 2:00 LO for lunch, then 5:00 to 11:00 LO at night, and the post also name-checks places like Totopia Brewery and WCB.
MugiSpiced food with hazy IPA sounds like an aroma cage match. My stomach and my thirst are both fully convinced.
Hop BroSame here. First pour: Green Magic with biryani or mazesoba sounds exactly right to me.
