Hop BroCRAFT BEER MARKET in Kyoto Porta is celebrating its 4th anniversary. For the commemorative service on March 26, they're bringing out the big guns with anniversary pricing.
MugiWait, half size for 590 yen? That commemorative price is too strong. That's enough to make me want to go right away!
Hop BroAnd on top of the standard Maruef, Kuro Nama, and Heartland, they're also lining up breweries from Kyoto, Tokyo, Shiga, Nara, and Mie. It really feels like nationwide taps all lined up.
MugiWhat is that, IPL and IPA and all of a sudden it gets complicated! What's an IPL?
Hop BroIPL stands for India Pale Lager, basically a lager with that crisp finish and IPA-like hop character layered on top. Bighand bros. beer's 4th anniversary beer, "BORNITE [IPL]," is aiming for both crispness and aroma.
MugiOh, so it's the kind you can gulp down, but it's still fun for the aroma too! That's the hop lover's trap, huh.
Hop BroExactly. And with CRAFTROCK BREWING, Y.MARKET BREWING, Minoh Beer, and Isekadoya Beer in the mix, IPA fans are spoiled for choice. It's basically an IPA traffic jam.
MugiWait, they even have wheat beer and dark beer too!? The range of flavors is so wide that it sounds easy for beginners to try!
Hop BroWith Hoegaarden White, Oyamaz G Beer Weizenbock, NARA BREWING.CO's LIGHT HOUSE, and even barrel-aged beers from FAR YEAST and Isekadoya, it's a beer tasting paradise.
