Hop BroHimalaya table in Tokyo's Uchikanda is unveiling its March 27 taps, and starting with Brasserie Knot's MOON is pretty ambitious.
MugiWait, MOON is a double IPA!? The name already sounds intense, like it's going to blast all the way to the moon!
Hop BroThat's the force of a double IPA. It really shows off the hops, and Minoh Beer's Blooming IPA should also deliver a nice balance of aroma and bitterness.
MugiWhoa. But if IPA keeps coming one after another, won't my tongue end up in a massive traffic jam?
Hop BroThat's where Nara Brewing's DAYLONG, a clean pilsner, comes in. It switches up the mouthfeel and makes the tasting easier to compare.
MugiWhat! Does that mean there's a highway for my mouth inside my tongue?
Hop BroSomething like that. And with ogna's Kogyoku apple hop in the mix, you get a fruity bridge, so it's fun to change things up beyond hops alone.
MugiWait, fruit too!? Then I'm suddenly curious about what a rye beer from Swan Lake even is!
Hop BroRye is a little spicier than other grains, so it brings out a toasty grain aroma. With Golden Swan Lake Ale, Baeren Brewery's Rye Beer, and T.Y.HARBOR's Niki Bitter all lined up too, the second half gives you plenty to choose from.
MugiI see! If the second half is worth choosing from too, I feel like I could keep going forever.
Hop BroNear Kanda Station, it's nice to drop by after work and try a little at a time. Tap lists like this really make me nod from a bartender's perspective.
MugiI can't handle it, I want to drink right now! Today I want to go after everything from IPA to pilsner like I'm bar-hopping!

Brasserie Knot's MOON has a strong presence as a double IPA, and Minoh Beer's Blooming IPA also promises a good balance of aroma and bitterness. From there, Nara Brewing's DAYLONG resets the palate with a lighter mouthfeel, and ogna's Apple Hop <Kogyoku> adds fruit-derived nuance, making it easy to vary the pace as you drink.
Swan Lake Beer's Golden Swan Lake Ale is positioned as a beer with a bright impression, as its name suggests, while Baeren Brewery's Rye Beer and T.Y.HARBOR's Niki Bitter broaden the options in the second half. For a pub near Kanda Station, it's a lineup well suited to sampling a little at a time after work.
