Hop BroGOOD HOPS in Tono is opening its new IPA "Tono no Kaze" at the taproom on April 11.
MugiWhat! I can already feel the wind from the title! And opening on April 11 makes me want to go this weekend!
Hop BroWhat's more, it's open from 11:00 to 18:00, with last order at 17:30. I like that it feels like you're drinking straight from Tono's hop culture.
MugiHop culture? What's that, some kind of beer decoration? A hop-growing town is really that amazing?
Hop BroIt's not decoration at all. GOOD HOPS works on hop cultivation and research, so the maker's perspective comes straight into the glass.
MugiWhoa, that's romantic! So what does Tono no Kaze taste like?
Hop BroIt's a new IPA with a refreshing finish that really brings out the character of No Wind, the new hop variety they developed themselves.
MugiNo Wind, but refreshing? That name is making this conversation more confusing! And a new hop variety sounds like a research lab, which is seriously exciting!
Hop BroOn top of that, the rare hop Murakami Seven is used in MURAKAMI SEVEN IPA and LAGER, both in limited quantities. The canned versions are limited to two per person, so it's a real scramble.
MugiLimited quantities is unfair, now I want them! The tap list has six beers all lined up, and with some fries in hand, wouldn't it be perfect?
Hop BroExactly. And with M sizes starting at 650 yen and non-alcoholic options too, it really makes you want to raise a glass in Tono today.
MugiYeah, I want to go! I'll have the fish and chips, and hop bro can have a drink with some research talk on the side - deal!
