Hop BroOver at Half Yard Shiki in Shiki, a new guest tap just landed: Oni Shibori Lager from Isekadoya Beer x Oni Densetsu.
MugiWait, Oni Shibori Lager already sounds like it could bench-press me!
Hop BroIt’s a West Coast Pilsner, built around crisp lager snap with bright hop character layered on top.
MugiWhat even is a West Coast Pilsner? Do I need a certificate before ordering it?
Hop BroNot at all. Think of it as an aromatic easy-drinker: clean and gulpable, but with citrusy, floral hops rising out of the glass.
MugiAnd the article said first runnings only. That sounds like the VIP juice of the mash!
Hop BroPretty much. Using only the cleaner first wort helps highlight pure malt flavor without dragging in rough edges.
MugiSo the hops are fruity, but the finish is a clean drinking experience? That’s suspiciously unfair.
Hop BroExactly, and that makes it a food-friendly pour too, which sounds perfect with the pub menu at Half Yard Shiki.
MugiMore than 10 draft beers and a big TV? That’s basically an accidental all-night stop waiting to happen!
Hop BroGuest taps move fast there, so I’d make a phone or DM reservation and order this the second I sit down.
MugiI’m fully sold. First sip for me, and you can go full aroma lecture mode right beside me!
