Hop BroToday we're talking about a new tap at BEER PUB 25 in Musashino, Tokyo. The star is Totopia's "Neonphobia," and with 12 guest taps lined up, it's definitely the kind of day that makes your heart race.
MugiWhoa, 12 guest taps!? With that many, there's no way this ends as just "one drink"!
Hop BroAnd this "Neonphobia" isn't just flashy for the sake of it. It's a collaboration with Euljiro Brewing. It's a DH Sour IPA, designed to balance tartness and hop character, so it's a pretty adventurous beer.
MugiDH Sour IPA, what even is that! What does DH stand for? That alone already sounds kind of pro-level, and now I feel tense before even drinking it!
Hop BroDH usually means dry hopping. It's a method where hops are added after the boil to build aroma, and this Neonphobia uses Motueka hops plus banana and apricot, and even pineapple and vanilla, so the aroma layers are pretty complex.
MugiWait, banana and pineapple too!? At this point I can't tell if it's beer or dessert, but it sounds delicious!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. It's the kind of beer that brings sweet-tart character and aroma at the same time, so it's not just about a flashy look. Sour IPAs can sound intimidating, but the fruit notes make it easier to get into.
MugiBut seriously, the tap list goes from pilsner to KBS? That's too strong. With everything from light to heavy, the place could double as a beer personality test!
Hop BroExactly. You've got brisk beers like Chuckanut's "Gold Label Pils," plus hazy IPAs from Monkish, heavyweight bottles like Firestone Walker's Double DBA and Founders' KBS, so the range for side-by-side tasting is incredible.
MugiWow, the tasting range is huge! When a single place lines up beers with this much personality, it feels like a mini trip!
Hop BroAnd since it's open from 18:00 to 27:00, with last order at 26:15, it's friendly to night owls too. Including the wood-grain table atmosphere, it's the kind of place where you stop by for one drink, then two, and before you know it, three.
MugiThat's definitely dangerous! I'm already in the mood to raise a glass right now, and I want to work my way through the lineup from Neonphobia to KBS!
