Progress opens 10 taps including YOROCCO BEER's Hometown Stout
Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Kawasaki's Musashi-Kosugi will be open on Saturday, May 23 from 13:00 to 23:00. In the post, the shop highlights YOROCCO BEER's Hometown Stout and introduces 10 taps of domestic craft beer, including Shonan Beer and Isekadoya Beer.
Hop BroIt's a weekend with 10 taps on at Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Musashi-Kosugi. They're open Saturday, May 23 from 13:00 to 23:00, and the first beer they're pushing is YOROCCO BEER's Hometown Stout.
MugiWhat! Is Hometown Stout the star? A dark-looking beer always feels like the 'door to being a connoisseur' suddenly swings open!
Hop BroExactly. This is a Dry Stout at 4.5%. It has that toasty roasted malt aroma, but it's light enough to drink smoothly, so it makes sense that the shop would put it in the "today's recommendation" slot.
MugiSo "dry" means it's not sweet? But when I hear stout, I always picture a "bitter, heavy black monster"!
Hop BroThat's the key: it's fragrant and easygoing. Not every dark beer is sweetened with lactose or made super full-bodied; this one leans toward being easy to drink even on the eve of Sunday.
MugiI get it! So what else is there? If they line it up like a treasure chest of tastings, I can totally see myself freezing in front of the menu forever!
Hop BroThe lineup is great too: Shonan Beer's Helles, karuizawaQ's Lazy Afternoon, Isekadoya Beer's Sour IPA, and Brasserie Knot's WIND. Black, pale, sour, hop bitterness, it's a pretty wide range.
MugiWhoa, even a Mango Lager! I thought this was going to be a serious beer gathering, and then they hit us with fruit out of nowhere!
Hop BroThat sense of playfulness is part of what makes Progress Progress. Even though it's in Musashi-Kosugi, the nice thing is that you can drink leisurely from daytime until night. From a quick one to working through a tasting flight, both work.
MugiOkay, I'll start with Hometown Stout, then take a break with Helles, and finish by having fun with the Sour IPA! In my head, the order is already perfect!
Hop BroThat flow is pretty good. Today at Progress, it's the kind of place where just deciding what to have for your first glass is fun, and now I want to go there and open a Hometown Stout myself.
MugiThen it's decided! I can't stop wanting to drink right now, so let's toast over the weekend in Kosugi!

This lineup spans a wide range, from dark stout to Helles, Saison, Sour IPA, and West Coast IPA, making it easy to enjoy side-by-side comparisons. If you want hop bitterness, the IPA options look appealing; if you want something light, the Helles or Saison fit well; and if you want sweetness and tartness, Isekadoya Beer's Sour IPA seems like a good match.
At the shop in Kosugimachi, a short walk from the station, being able to drink leisurely from the weekend afternoon into the evening is part of Progress's charm. Today is shaping up to be one of those days where starting with Hometown Stout feels like the obvious choice.
