Hop BroThe underground Craft Beer Server Land in Kagurazaka tapped two interesting guest kegs on April 6.
MugiWhat, you’re hyping it up that much for just two kegs!? So it’s a compare-them-side-by-side kind of thing?
Hop BroExactly. It’s Tokorozawa Beer’s The Cannonball and Y.MARKET’s Hysteric IPA.
MugiThose names sound intense! But why are bitter beers like IPA so popular?
Hop BroIPA is a style that really emphasizes hops, and this pair makes the difference in aroma and bitterness easy to notice.
MugiYou say hops and suddenly it gets complicated! What exactly is the hop character supposed to be?
Hop BroPut simply, it means the aroma’s personality, and Hysteric IPA layers notes from passion fruit to a grapefruit-like feel.
MugiWhoa, fruit festival! Then The Cannonball goes up against that with an orange aroma and sharp bitterness, right?
Hop BroExactly. It’s a flagship IPA at 6.5% ABV and 50 IBU, versus a more aggressive IPA at 7.0% ABV and 77 IBU.
MugiThis is almost unfair in a laid-back underground space! It’s perfect for a slow drinking night, and now I want to go right away!
Hop BroRight? If you want IPA in Kagurazaka, these two kegs for tonight are a great catch, and now I want to pour them too.
