On April 11 at Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae, a beer unveiling event by the phantom brewery Mopshand beer was held. Inside the shop, six draft beers including West Coast Brewing and DD4D BREWING were lined up, creating a tasting lineup suited to a hidden beer pub in Ryogoku.
Hop BroOn April 11, at Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae, which sits between Ryogoku and Kuramae, there was a Mopshand beer unveiling event. Just hearing that it's a new release from a phantom brewery gets my heart racing.
MugiHuh! A phantom brewery, as in something that appears and disappears like a ghost? The beer world just got mysterious!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a setup where they brew on contract without owning their own brewery. And on this day, more than ten fans gathered, and the 10L keg reportedly sold out in about three hours, so the excitement was intense.
MugiWhoa! But six draft beers is a lot, right? I have confidence I'd get lost at the entrance trying to decide what to drink first!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. The lineup ranged widely from Starwatcher to BOTTOMLESS. It had everything from West Coast IPA, Citrus Hazy DIPA, and Hazy Pale Ale to Bitter and Kölsch, so it's a lineup that people with different tastes can all enjoy.
MugiWow, the style range is huge! But West Coast IPA and Hazy DIPA sound kind of intense just from the names, and I'd probably get blown away by the pressure...
Hop BroWest Coast IPA has a sharp hop bitterness and aroma, while Hazy DIPA leans into a juicy, hazy character. For example, a name like My Secret Lemon Trees 3 makes you picture lemony aromas, right? That's the fun even before you drink it.
MugiI get it! And I really like that hidden-gem beer pub vibe. Being able to do a comparison tasting discreetly in a residential neighborhood feels like a secret base!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, they offer unlimited-time all-you-can-drink, so it's strong on days when you want to compare flavors slowly. They also have homemade pizza and creative dishes, so it's easy to build a night around beer as the star.
MugiThat's amazing! I'm curious about the next TAP TAKEOVER too, and now I want to plan my day assuming I'm drinking today!
Hop BroExactly. They also have events on May 23 and in June, so we can't take our eyes off them. Just reading it makes me thirsty, and now I want to go for a tasting night.
