Hop BroAt GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido, the guest NEW 2TAP has come in. Shiga Kogen Beer's SNOW MONKEY IPA and Minami Shinshu Beer's PORTER make for a pretty wide-ranging pairing, don't they?
MugiWait! IPA and PORTER at the same time!? They're making you choose from the very first drink, whether to go bold or settle in quietly to finish!
Hop BroExactly. SNOW MONKEY IPA is an IPA with a strong hop aroma and solid drinking depth. Very much Shiga Kogen Beer, it's not just bitter; the aromatic push is beautifully done.
MugiBy hop aroma, do you mean something like a floral smell or citrusy notes? Whoa, you suddenly threw in some fancy words!
Hop BroThat's exactly it. Hops are the ingredient used for aroma and bitterness, and with an IPA like SNOW MONKEY IPA you can enjoy the balance of citrus character and bitterness. It sounds technical, but basically it's the floral lift that rises through your nose.
MugiI see! So Minami Shinshu Beer's PORTER is the one handling the dark-style calmness, right? It kind of feels like sofa-level comfort!
Hop BroThat's a good way to put it. PORTER's signature is the savory depth from roasted malt, and because the bitterness doesn't push too hard, it pairs well with food. No surprise it works so well with fried dishes.
MugiIf it's with fish and chips, pairing IPA with the savory aroma of fried food sounds fun too! And if you factor in the richness of the tartar sauce, the after-party's already started in your mouth!
Hop BroThat's the strength of being a fish-and-chips-forward spot. You can add sharpness with IPA, or let PORTER gently carry it. It feels like the food and guest beers are actually talking to each other.
MugiWait, and it's an easy-to-enter place centered around the counter, right? Stuff like this is the kind of place where you think you'll just have one quick drink, and before you know it you've tried both taps!
Hop BroExactly. It's a refresh that lets you honestly enjoy the fun of eating and drinking in Kameido, and the fact that it works both as a first drink and a final drink is great. This really makes me want to toast at GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS tonight.
MugiYeah, let's toast tonight! If we have fun with SNOW MONKEY IPA and then end on a reflective note with PORTER, it sounds like the perfect beer-pub experience!
