Hop BroA newly tapped beer has arrived at Half Yard in Shiki. West Coast Brewing's Double Kimchi, a collaboration with Korea's While Crow Brewing, already sounds like it's not just any ordinary beer.
MugiWait, with a name like Double Kimchi, it's not kimchi-flavored!? My brain can't quite keep up!
Hop BroYou can relax there. The flavor direction isn't kimchi at all, but a hop-forward style with a strong pine and resin aroma, and it comes in pretty aggressively on the palate.
MugiPine and resin? You can describe a beer's aroma like that!? It feels like I'm drinking the forest, which is kind of hilarious!
Hop BroExactly, and it also has a deep green character, mixing grassy notes with a woody feel. It's a West Coast Brewing-style move that puts hop character front and center.
MugiAnd an 8.5% body is pretty serious! This isn't a casual one-beer kind of drink; it's the kind you go in ready for!
Hop BroThat's right. The bitterness is firmly in place too, so it finishes as a beer with real presence, and it really shines when paired with strongly seasoned food.
MugiWhoa, I want this with karaage or yakiniku, something full of bold flavor! It's amazing when the beer takes center stage but the meal still gets elevated too!

Because they care about the condition of the draft and how it pairs with food, a distinctive guest beer like this is especially likely to fit right in.
MugiThen I guess the only thing to do is make a reservation and go on a hop-forest expedition! I really want to go on an adventure with Double Kimchi!
Hop BroExactly. If we can taste West Coast Brewing's aggressive hop character in Shiki, it's worth drinking while we can, and now I want to tilt a glass right away too.
