Hop BroBeer Pub Neko to Azarashi in Mitaka is tapping ten beers on draft from 5 p.m. on October 17.
MugiWhat? Ten domestic and imported beers? I might spend the whole night choosing!
Hop BroA great starting point is Azarashi Pilsner Okawari, made by And Beer and Mitaka Yamaneko Brewery—crisp and easygoing.
MugiSo a pilsner is basically perfect for the first pint?
Hop BroExactly. It is a clean, refreshing lager. Then you could move to Fujizakura Kogen’s toasty Rauchbier for a contrast.
MugiRauchbier? What is that? A savory beer sounds like grilled corn!
Hop BroClose! Rauchbier uses smoked malt, giving it a campfire-like aroma.
MugiDrinking a campfire?! Still, it sounds amazing with chicken-skin ponzu or Tsushima-style pork stir-fry.
Hop BroGreat instinct. Shiga Kogen’s FreshHopBlonde and Prank Brewery’s dry-hopped Helles are also all about expressive hop aroma.
MugiDoes dry hopping mean drying the hops? My brain is fizzing!
Hop BroIt means adding hops after fermentation to boost aroma more than bitterness. Minoh Beer’s Kawanakajima Peach Weizen brings lively fruit character too.
MugiThere is even the dark “Bitter-Looking but Not Bitter, Slightly Bitter Schwarz,” and the beers are 4.5 to 6.0 percent ABV. I want a tasting flight!
Hop BroFood orders end at 10 p.m. and drinks at 10:30, so let’s enjoy beer-and-food pairings in Mitaka.
MugiDeal! Pilsner first, peach weizen later… I want to toast now!
