Hop BroHinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome opens at 3:00 p.m. on April 26, and true to form for a brewpub attached to a brewery, the house-brewed taps are lined up all at once.
MugiWait, being able to stop in for just one drink is exactly the kind of thing short-drink fans love.
Hop BroExactly, and on this day you also get curveballs like Kohatu Pale Ale and Pee-Pee-Pee (Kveik Pale Ale).
MugiWhat is that? Kveik Pale Ale sounds like a spell. What makes it different from a regular pale ale?
Hop BroSimply put, kveik is a Norwegian-style yeast that ferments happily even at warmer temperatures. That makes it easier to bring out a fruity aroma, so it tends to stand out a bit more.
MugiOh, so if you compare Black Sheep Ale and White Sheep Ale, they probably taste quite different, not just in name.
Hop BroExactly. And since they’re collaborations with Sanriku Beer, Black Sheep is a Black IPA and White Sheep is a Belgian Hazy IPA. The "sheep tasting comparison" is definitely one of the highlights here.
MugiA black one that’s an IPA and a white one that’s also an IPA? My brain is getting all beer-fluffy already. The visual contrast is wild.
Hop BroPlus, with Ryusosou, Yunosu Saison, Komagome Brown, Komagome Best Bitter, and Kurotobi #4 on the list, you can enjoy a wide range from pale styles all the way to stout.
MugiAnd five seasonal vegetable tapas dishes at 600 yen each? That is way too good a setup for making beer go down easily. My stomach and my heart are both in danger.
Hop BroDangerous, but happy. Tonight in Komagome feels like the kind of night that makes you want to hop from tap to tap and end with a toast for two.
