Hop BroAt HOP MAN in Chigasaki, two Shiga Kogen Beers have just been newly tapped. This time it’s “from scratch / a blonde ale” and “SNOW MONKEY IPA Silver Label ver.”, and both are the kind you want to try.
MugiWhat, two beers tapped at the same time!? And just hearing the name Shiga Kogen Beer already makes it sound seriously strong!
Hop BroFirst, the blonde ale “from scratch” uses 100% Pilsner malt, four kinds of hops from the U.S. and New Zealand, and even homegrown Cascade. At 5.0% ABV and IBU 31, it’s the kind of beer that’s crisp but still nicely aromatic.
MugiWait, what is IBU 31!? You just throw numbers at me, and I’m already freezing up in front of the menu!
Hop BroIBU is a measure of bitterness. In simple terms, it means it has a moderate bitterness. It’s neither too strong nor too weak, so it’s really excellent as a mealtime beer that pairs easily with food.
MugiI see! So “from scratch” is easy to drink with a meal. Hearing that it’s a mealtime beer makes it feel instantly familiar!
Hop BroThe other beer, “SNOW MONKEY IPA Silver Label ver.”, is notable for its citrus and white peach aromas, with hints of grapefruit and lychee too. At 6.0% ABV and IBU 21, the key point is that its bitterness is a little more distinct than last year.
MugiWhoa, that grapefruit vibe sounds amazing! That’s already delicious before you even drink it, right?
Hop BroAnd HOP MAN is a beer pub on the second floor, with up to 38 taps plus three hand pumps. This time, with Passific Brewing, Kyoto Brewing, Ise Kadoya Brewery, and even Uchu Brewing on the board, you can enjoy a huge range of domestic breweries all at once.
MugiWait, what kind of dream shelf is that! A world of 38 taps sounds too happy just to choose from!
Hop BroYou could start with a blonde, follow the aroma with an IPA, and finish with a dark beer. With a lineup like this in Chigasaki, I can honestly say I want to go out for a drink today.
MugiExactly! I’m totally in that mood now too. I want a drink in Chigasaki right now!
