Hop BroAt Want a Beer in Utsunomiya, the six-keg tapping for 5/6 has landed. Hoppukotan, Black Tide Brewing, Oni Densetsu, Romantchi-mura × Want a Beer, Be easy Brewing, and Ushitora Brewery are lined up, which is pretty exciting.
MugiWhat, six kinds are lined up? And it sounds like the food is meant to go with the beer too, very beer-pub-like.
Hop BroThe first one I want to check out is Hoppukotan's Full Throttle. It's an American IPA that puts a hoppy, bitter drinking character front and center, and it feels like 'here we go' as the first pour.
MugiHoppy and bitter means... it's bitter but easy to drink? I sort of get it, but also don't.
Hop BroBasically, the hop aroma and bitterness are the stars, but the beer is balanced. Then there's Black Tide Brewing's TOHOKU PRIDE, an IPL with a pleasing combination of simple malt character and moderate bitterness.
MugiAnother new spell appears: IPL! 'Simple malt character' means the beer's foundation is clean, right?
Hop BroExactly. It gives the impression of being neatly built around the sweetness and richness of the malt, so it drinks lightly like a lager. Then Oni Densetsu's Kinki Pale Ale, the Krush single-hop version, brings citrus and stone-fruit aromas.
MugiKrush single-hop version already sounds delicious! If it has a citrus aroma, it totally hits my citrus-loving heart.
Hop BroWhat's more, Want a Beer's fifth-anniversary original, Fresh!!!, is interesting. It was made with Romantchi-mura × Want a Beer using freshly squeezed juice from five kinds of citrus, so the fruitiness and acidity really come forward.
MugiHand-squeezed from five kinds? That's basically a full-scale citrus showdown! It's beer, but it's like a fruit festival and my brain can't keep up.
Hop BroAnd Be easy Brewing's Aomori Ale adds easy drinkability, while Ushitora Brewery's Yozora no Shimukou is a Black IPA with the toasted aroma of roasted malt and hop aroma layered on top, so it seems like a good match even for fritters of bamboo shoots and carpaccio of red sea bream.
MugiI'm totally hungry now! A night where you can choose one beer at a time with the food is the best, and I want to head to Want a Beer in Utsunomiya right now and try them all.
Tap List for May 6
Want a Beer in Motoimaizumi, Utsunomiya, will be open on May 6 from 12:00 to 23:00, with last orders at 22:00.

Six beers appeared on the tap list. `Full Throttle / 忽布古丹` is an American IPA that puts a hoppy, bitter drinking character front and center. `TOHOKU PRIDE / Black Tide Brewing` is an IPL designed with simple malt character and moderate bitterness in mind, making it easy to drink through. `Kinki Pale Ale Krush single ver. / 鬼伝説` is an American Pale Ale with striking citrus and stone-fruit aromas.
Also on the lineup was Want a Beer's fifth-anniversary original, `Fresh!!! / ろまんちっく村 × Want a Beer`. This Sour Ale was brewed with freshly squeezed juice from five kinds of citrus, and is said to feature bright fruitiness and acidity. `Aomori Ale / Be easy Brewing` is an American Wheat built around drinkability. `Yozora no Shimukou / うしとらブルワリー` is a Black IPA layered with the roasted aroma of roasted malt and hop aroma, and should appeal even to fans of dark beer.
On the food side, the post featured recommendations such as bamboo-shoot fritters, squid and karasumi spaghetti, squid fritters, mortadella Bismarck pizza, and red sea bream carpaccio. It was a lineup that makes you want to pair each dish with a different beer for the night in Utsunomiya.
