Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome, Tokyo, has released its operating notice for Tuesday, 3/31, from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The 10-tap list features a wide-ranging lineup, including two collaborations with Sanriku Beer.
Hop BroThat 10-tap lineup in Honkomagome is hot stuff. Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand just dropped its operating notice for Tuesday, 3/31.
MugiWhat, ten beers? That alone is enough to make my head spin!
Hop BroThe lineup runs from Kohatu Pale Ale all the way to Black IPA and stout. The way they bring everything from light to dark all at once is pretty slick.
MugiWhat is that supposed to mean? Is dry hopping like some kind of training where you dry out the hops?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. It’s a method for adding aroma later, where hops are added after the boil or during fermentation to bring out more fragrance.
MugiOhhh! So names like Sauvin Belgo Brut and Yuzu Sour Saison mean they really bring out their aroma and acidity?
Hop BroExactly. This time they also have the Sanriku Beer collabs, Black Sheep Ale and White Sheep Ale, so tasting side by side should be a lot of fun.
MugiJust hearing that it’s a collaboration with Sanriku makes it feel like a special glass! And they even have Belgian Hazy IPA, which is strong.
Hop BroAnd the place is mainly counter seating and standing, so you can snack on Kaki-Pi and dagashi while focusing on the beer. It’s clearly built for serious drinkers.
MugiThat sounds amazing! I’m curious about Komagome Brown and Best Bitter too, and now I’m already thirsty just imagining going there.
Hop BroWeekdays are 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., weekends and holidays are 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and with events coming up too, this is the kind of place that makes you want to go drink right now. Tonight may not stay at just one pint.
MugiYeah, it’s settled then: a night of tasting beers! Start with the light ones, then finish by taking on the dark one!
