Hop BroIn Oita City's Chuo-machi, BAY DARK has been tapped at Extra Hop — Yokohama Bay Brewing's beer is in. Paired with the relaxed Golden Week hours, it makes for a pretty fun flow.
MugiWhoa! What is BAY DARK even? From the name alone it sounds dark and powerful, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThis one is a Czech-style dark lager. Even though it's clearly dark in appearance, because it's a lager the drinking profile is crisp and well put together, and the nice thing is that it doesn't feel too heavy.
MugiA lager but dark? My brain's getting twisted up! Dark but light how does that even work?
Hop BroPut simply, it's because it's cleanly finished through low-temperature fermentation. It has the roasty aroma of dark malt, but the lager's clarity comes forward, so even with a chocolate-like aroma you can drink it smoothly.
MugiOhhh! So even though it smells like dark chocolate, it's not like a heavy dessert. Sounds like it would pair well with food too!
Hop BroExactly, it pairs easily with food. And at Extra Hop, Brasserie Knot's pale ale and BALDYS's summer mikan saison are also in their final stretch, so tasting the different aromas side by side should be interesting.
MugiWhoa, the lineup is way too good! Pale ale, summer mikan saison, and dark lager? That's the kind of place where you keep getting stuck on what mood you're in!
Hop BroAnd from May 2 to May 5 during Golden Week, it's open 15:00-22:00, so it's easy to go in and drink at a relaxed pace. There's also the Le TAMAÏ collaboration event from May 15 to 17, so there's some fun in planning ahead too.
MugiIf it's easy to stop by from Oita Station, then it sounds like I can settle in for a drink! Places like this are great because there's something new every time you go.
Hop BroYeah, the real charm of Extra Hop is not just the regulars, but following the guest beers. With BAY DARK to savor now, and pale ale and summer mikan saison next, I'm already wanting to go out for drinks.
MugiSame here! I'm in the mood for a dark lager tonight, and I want to hop between something roasty and something refreshing!
