Hop BroKoenji North Exit's Citraba 7th anniversary event is happening on April 11 and 12. Just like the name says, craft beer is the star, and this year they're putting their original beers front and center, which is pretty exciting.
MugiWhoa, seven original beers? That's a lot! Seven beers for the 7th anniversary makes it feel like even the numbers are in celebration mode!
Hop BroExactly, and the tap lineup is serious, too. It's a lineup built for side-by-side tastings, with IPA, session IPA, pale ale, Weizen, and stout all in the mix, so you can enjoy the full range of flavors.
MugiI kind of get IPA, but what's a session IPA? It sounds like a light one, but it's not like it dances or anything, right!?
Hop BroNo dancing, but it's designed to be easy to drink. With a lower fatigue factor, it keeps the hop character of an IPA while keeping the alcohol impression restrained, so it's the kind of style you can enjoy for longer.
MugiI see! Then I'm also curious about Hazy IPA! That's the cloudy, fluffy-looking one, right? It's unfair how tasty it looks from the appearance alone!
Hop BroGood eye. For example, something like Shonan Beer's Sticky Fingers Hazy IPA is appealing for its juiciness and soft mouthfeel, and one of its traits is not pushing bitterness too hard to the front.
MugiWow! And the post has popular labels from all over lined up in the taps too, which makes the event feel huge! Just looking at the menu would leave me completely lost!
Hop BroExactly. It includes Shiga Kogen Beer, Minoh Beer, Fujizakura Heights Beer, and even REVO BREWING. And the way Citraba lines up kegs that make you want to drink them just from the names, like Craftrock Brewing's Citrus on the Rock, is very on-brand.
MugiThe food photos are lined up too - that's the best part! If I can enjoy snacks along with the beer, I'm already ready to stay for a long time!
Hop BroSince it's 12:00 to 26:00 on April 11 and 12:00 to 23:30 on the 12th, it's perfect for a birthday bar crawl, too. If you're celebrating Citraba's 7th anniversary in Koenji with original beers and labels from breweries across Japan, this is definitely a place to go.
MugiYeah, I'm completely on board now! So this is what they mean by an article that makes you want to go drink right now, Hop bro!
