Hop BroFRIENDS has arrived at Bar FUKURO in Kamata. It’s a collaboration IPA with Tokyo Aleworks, and the can really stands out.
MugiWhoa! The name FRIENDS sounds so friendly, and yet it’s an IPA! And it’s coming in cans too? That’s exciting!
Hop BroExactly. And the label says West Coast IPA 7.0%. It’s the kind of beer where the hop aroma and bitterness come through clearly, with a well-defined character.
MugiHuh? Does West Coast mean the seaside? Why does a name like that lead into a talk about flavor?
Hop BroBasically, it refers to a style known for sharp bitterness. Instead of putting haze or sweetness up front, it’s all about crispness and hop expression.
MugiI get it! So this thing about the shape of the hops sounds like the kind of beer that makes you go, 'Whoa!' the moment you drink it!
Hop BroThe can is great too. The black base and fluorescent green design is the kind that grabs your attention the second it appears on the shelf. It has that playful Bar FUKURO feel, doesn’t it?
MugiNo way! That look is totally made for photos. And a collaboration with Chris Larson makes it even more distinctive!
Hop BroOne nice thing about Bar FUKURO near Kamata Station is that it’s a place where you can try things casually. Along with the draft beer, having these newly arrived cans adds more fun to choosing what to drink.
MugiWow, this is definitely one of those beers you want to drink as soon as it arrives. Even if you’re not an IPA fan, you might still want to pick it up just based on the mood!
Hop BroRight. Now I’m already wanting to raise a glass at Bar FUKURO tonight.
MugiMe too! I want to drink with FRIENDS in hand while Hop-nii explains the flavor to me!
