BiaMa Kitasenju Announces New Arrivals of Four Smog City Beers and U.S. Labels
BiaMa Kitasenju announced a large shipment from the U.S. in an Instagram post on March 20. The image confirmed four beers from Smog City Brewing Co., and the caption also mentioned arrivals from Karl Strauss, East Brother, Almanac, and Embolden.
Hop BroBiaMa Kitasenju announced a huge arrival of American craft beer on Instagram. Just looking at the cans lined up in front of the taps makes you thirsty.
MugiWhoa! They got that much? Four Smog City beers sounds like they're overwhelming you with quantity first!
Hop BroThe ones confirmed in the image are `Kampai from Torrance California`, IPA, Vanilla Gorilla, and Citrus Blonde Ale. And Kampai is a double dry-hopped West Coast IPA, so it's built by layering hop aroma after fermentation.
MugiDouble dry-hopped? What is that? It sounds scary, like a second hop attack!
Hop BroNot scary at all, it's more of a treat. It's a method where they add hops again after fermentation to pack in the aroma. Not just bitterness, but piney and citrus notes come forward more easily.
MugiI see! So Citrus Blonde Ale is the kind of beer that's easy to drink, just from the name?
Hop BroExactly. Blonde styles are light and easygoing, and often easier to drink than IPAs without feeling too serious about it. And this time they also brought five from Karl Strauss, six from East Brother, seven from Almanac, and four from Embolden, so there's a wide range of styles.
MugiWait, isn't that too many? Twenty-two kinds total sounds like enough to get drunk just deciding!
Hop BroBiaMa Kitasenju is in the Kitasenju Station area and open from 2:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and what's strong about it is that the taps and cans are both well stocked. It's a great time to compare hop-forward IPAs with classic IPAs and blondes.
MugiI'm already totally hungry and thirsty! I want to do a tasting, so let's head straight to Kitasenju today!
