Hop BroHinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome, Tokyo, is really heating up with its March 24 tap update. The new cask is the English Best Bitter "Komagome Best Bitter," and that's definitely one to watch.
MugiWow! Just the name Best Bitter sounds kind of serious, but hearing "new cask tapped" makes me want to drink it right away!
Hop BroThe beer is designed around a toasty character and a gentle honey-like aroma, with a foresty note from Fuggle-derived aroma drifting in softly.
MugiF, Fuggle? Wait, that suddenly sounds like some kind of forest fairy! What is Fuggle?
Hop BroFuggle is one of the classic English hop varieties. Rather than being flashy, it's good at bringing out a calm bitterness and a grassy, woody character. That's why it suits a Best Bitter so well.
MugiOhh, so it's not aggressively bitter, but more like something built for slow drinking. Perfect for a night at a beer bar!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, there are 10 beers total that day, with 10 taps in all. The range is wide, from Kohatu Pale Ale and Yuzu Sour Saison to Black IPA and Belgian Stout.
MugiWait, they have everything from pale beers to dark styles?! That's a tasting paradise. The kind of lineup that makes you hesitate from start to finish!
Hop BroExactly. It's great if you just want one beer after work, but the real strength is that you can explore the breadth of beer styles that day. Sekiguchi's careful pours are another nice touch.
MugiI can't take it anymore, my brain is fully beer right now! I really want to go grab a pint in Honkomagome and I'm getting restless!
