With all-you-can-drink options and course menus available, it is a brewpub well suited to strolling around Asakusa.
Hop BroAsakusa Beer Kobo is saying it will be open from 12:00 on Saturday the 23rd. It's a brewpub where you can stop by in the middle of a walk around Asakusa, and the fact that it has both house beers brewed in-house and guest beers on the lineup is great.
MugiWait, you can drink from lunchtime!? That's amazing! But can I start by asking what a brewpub even is?
Hop BroOf course. A brewpub is a place where you can drink beer brewed on the premises right there in the shop. Asakusa Beer Kobo is strong because you can enjoy up to 15 varieties in total, combining house beers and guest beers.
MugiUp to 15 varieties? I'm already about to become a happy lost child before I even choose! And if it's within walking distance of Asakusa Station or Tawaramachi Station, it's easy to combine with sightseeing.
Hop BroThe highlight that day is koko BREW TOKYO's RUBY BERRY SOUR. It has color and flavor from four kinds of berries, and it's being introduced as a refreshing beer with a sharp tartness.
MugiThe name sour sounds kind of like a cocktail, but does that mean it's sour beer?
Hop BroExactly. It's a style of beer that lets you enjoy tartness. When berry acidity is added, the finish becomes crisp rather than sweet, so it's easy to drink even on hot days.
MugiHuh, it looks like fruit juice, but there really is a whole beer world behind it! But the note that it's not included in the all-you-can-drink plan is something to watch out for.
Hop BroThat's important, too. RUBY BERRY SOUR is positioned as a guest beer to enjoy by the glass, and comparing it with the house beers is part of the fun at this place.
MugiThen I'll walk around Asakusa from lunchtime and finish with half-pint comparison tasting! A flow like that is basically a perfect detour, right?
Hop BroExactly. It's a place that works both as your first drink in Asakusa and for slowly drinking with a meal, so this is the kind of spot where you go in and end up not wanting to leave.
