Hop BroToday is a massive flood of 18 beers. The April 10 tap list at TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa has everything lined up, from pilsner to IPA, lager, porter, and black IPA.
MugiWhoa! Isn’t 18 beers way too many? Just looking at the menu is making me feel tipsy already, but where am I supposed to start!
Hop BroA light, crisp one is a good place to start. Something like `DRINK ME ~WEST COAST PILSNER Ver.~` or `MURAKAMI SEVEN LAGER` makes for an easy entry with a sharp, clean finish.
MugiHuh? But pilsner and lager kind of feel the same... the difference is pretty fuzzy to me!
Hop BroBroadly speaking, lager is a style fermented slowly at low temperatures, and pilsner is one of its best-known examples where hop aroma and bitterness stand out more clearly. So they’re like relatives in the crisp and refreshing family.
MugiI see! So `Emerald Spire Hazy IPA` and `Faló IPA` sound like the kind of beers where the aroma really bursts out. Total hop explosion!
Hop BroExactly. Hazy IPA tends to be hazier and softer on the palate, while IPA lets hop character come forward more strongly. Along with `AMAZONIA`, that aroma-focused lineup is one of the highlights of the first half.
MugiThe second half is even more interesting! `COFFEE STOUT` and `Shishimai Porter (ししまいポーター)` already sound like they’re dark and deep just from the names!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it fun. Porter tends to bring toasty roast notes, stout often leans toward coffee and cacao-like flavors, and `Session Black IPA` looks dark but still puts hops in the spotlight. And with `Kuri Kuro (Dark Chestnut Ale) (栗黒)` too, the range of roast character here is really wide.
MugiAnd it’s only a 3-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station, with growler fills available too? That’s too convenient. But they don’t serve food, right? What do we do about that?
Hop BroThat’s actually the beauty of it. Since outside food is welcome, you can bring your favorite snacks and compare beers one by one over counter drinking. TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa is the kind of place where the fun of chasing drafts is part of the experience.
MugiAlright, I’m in. I want to work my way from the light ones all the way to the dark ones! I might just fall into the abyss of tasting flights today!
