Hop BroA Traditional Bitter from MATSUMOTO BREWERY in Matsumoto is now on tap at San.publichouse in Uehara. That’s a seriously classy move.
MugiWait! If it’s called Bitter, does that mean it’s a pint with bitterness cranked all the way up?!
Hop BroThat’s the part people often misunderstand. In the March 10 post, it was introduced in the context of British pub culture.
MugiOhhh! So instead of hitting hard like an IPA, it’s tasty in a totally different way?
Hop BroExactly. This one leans malt-forward, so it’s the kind of beer where you gently enjoy notes derived from the malt.
MugiWhoa, wait. Isn’t “malt-forward” basically the number one champion in the “sounds intimidating in katakana” rankings?
Hop BroIn other words, instead of exploding with hop aroma, it’s centered on a gentle toastiness, like bread and biscuit notes. That’s the idea.
MugiNice! And San.publichouse is that standing spot for craft beer and tea, right? It’s way too good for an impromptu stop!
Hop BroWhen a place with a rotating tap list adds a traditional style like this, it gives the lineup a real sense of rhythm.
MugiIt’s decided then! Tonight I want a British-pub-style pint in Uehara so badly I could toast with Hop-senpai right now!
