Hop BroWant a Beer in Motoimaizumi, Utsunomiya, is throwing a major 5th anniversary event on April 11. It runs from 12:00 to 23:00, so it should be a seriously exciting day for anyone who likes tasting different beers.
MugiWhat, from 12:00 to 23:00? That's so long! Can you even drink that much? And an anniversary event sounds so festive, I'm getting excited!
Hop BroThis time, the big draws are the two originals. They’re collaboration beers with Romantchic Village: the Fruits Sour Ale 'Flesh!!!' and the Belgian White 'SPECIALS.' Both are at ABV 5.0%, so they’re set up to be fun without going overboard.
MugiFruits sour ales and Belgian whites sound hard just from the names! And hand-squeezed citrus, coriander, all that information is making me hungry!
Hop Bro'Flesh!!!' is a sour made with hand-squeezed juice from five kinds of citrus, with fruitiness and acidity at the center. 'SPECIALS' layers amanatsu and hassaku with coriander, bringing out that soft, bright Belgian White character.
MugiSo one goes in the tangy-and-delicious direction, and the other goes in the softly aromatic direction! But for an anniversary, it’s not just sweet and easy-drinking, it feels pretty adventurous!
Hop BroThe guest beers are strong too. Hop Kotan’s Seiran Cold IPA starts with clean bitterness and finishes with a pine-resin-like aftertaste, while Barbaric WORKS’ 'Morgentau' is floral in the way an Italian Pilsner should be, and 'MASTER HEIR' is a Double IPA that comes in hard with peach and berry notes.
MugiWait, a pine-resin-like aftertaste? What even is that! But now I’m curious, and if there are an Italian Pilsner and a Double IPA, I feel like I could really tell the difference by tasting them side by side!
Hop BroAnd then there’s Moonwalk with THE KICHI, which is the interesting part. It’s a West Coast Pilsner with citrus and piney aromas and a crisp finish, so it should be a great beer to close out the anniversary with.
MugiAnd you can take it home in bottles too, right? But since reservations aren’t accepted, it’s more like showing up casually and sharing seats with everyone. I like that on-site energy!
Hop BroExactly. The food lineup also runs from bruschetta to pizza, so you can really spend the day drinking, eating, and enjoying the anniversary. This is definitely the kind of day that makes you want more than just one drink in Utsunomiya.
MugiYeah, I want to try everything! For the anniversary toast, starting with 'Flesh!!!' and finishing with 'Moonwalk' sounds perfect!
