Hop BroThe beer pub umbrella in Sonezaki, Kita Ward, Osaka, is opening at 6:00 p.m. on April 29. And today's draft lineup has five beers, with a pretty wide range of styles.
MugiFive beers!? A wide lineup sounds great for beginners, but it also makes it hard to choose!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. First up is Kakegawa Farm Brewing in Shizuoka with "Dunk Hop IPA." Since it's a West Coast IPA, it's the kind of beer where you can really enjoy the hop aroma and the sharp edge of the bitterness.
MugiWhoa, more jargon! Does "West Coast IPA" mean the wind is blowing in from across the ocean?
Hop BroNo wind, but it does mean a crisp, sharp, hoppy flavor. Next is Nara Brewing's "Study in Rouge," a Fruit Sour Ale w/ Vanilla, where the key point is the balance between acidity and sweetness.
MugiThat sounds really interesting! If acidity and sweetness are living together, is it kind of dessert-like, but still beer?
Hop BroExactly. And then there's "Saruyama Shikao" from Minoh Beer in Osaka. It's a Japanese Rice Brut, so it's light, crisp, and the kind of beer that pairs easily with food.
MugiA rice beer!? Just the name "Japanese Rice Brut" makes it sound so refined I straighten my posture!
Hop BroWhat makes it great is that Draft Guinness and Kirin Lager are in the mix too. You can move between craft beer's distinct character and the comfort of familiar classics, so the tasting lineup is genuinely fun.
MugiHaving the classics there too is such a relief! If you alternate between craft and standard beers, it feels like your palate resets and you could go on forever!
Hop BroWhat's more, six-pour beer tickets are on sale for 5,800 yen and are valid for six months. It's a very convenient option for people who want to try a little of several taps, and it's perfect for taking your time in that calm basement space.
MugiThis is definitely a place I need to go! We'll say we're just having one after work, and before we know it we'll both be hopping from draft to draft!
