Hop BroKicking off tonight in Koriyama, the big story is the 2nd anniversary beer. Hop Japan Beer Restaurant Koriyama is tapping it at 6 p.m. on August 21 to start the celebration event.
MugiWhat! Tapped at 6 p.m.? That is peak after-work temptation. If it's right by the station, people are getting pulled in like cartoon magnets!
Hop BroAnd this place is directly run by Hop Japan. It's a brewpub, meaning they can serve their own beer with their own food, which is always a strong move.
MugiWait, what is that? A brewery-attached pub? Okay, that sounds way less mysterious and way more like a brewer's home base hangout.
Hop BroExactly. They have 10 taps, with seven core beers plus limiteds and guest taps, so the lineup is built for side-by-side tasting.
MugiTen taps already sounds dangerous for my decision-making! And the star is the anniversary-only pour, right? My brain hasn't chosen yet, but my glass already has.
Hop BroHere's the fun part: the style is still undisclosed in the article. That makes it more interesting, because you can compare it with the regular lineup and figure out what kind of anniversary statement they wanted to make.
MugiNo way, it's still a secret? A mystery beer instantly makes me want to investigate. My curiosity is basically standing in front of the tap already.
Hop BroThe setup of the place is smart too. You can do a quick drink on the first floor or settle in upstairs with Fukushima ingredients, so the two-floor setup works for both casual and serious beer nights.
MugiOh, that's good. And with dishes made from Fukushima ingredients, that first sip of the anniversary beer is going to feel even more special.
Hop BroOn a milestone day like this, the right move is to line up a regular beer next to the special one. That compare-the-regulars moment is where you really see Hop Japan's character.
MugiThen it's settled. I'll handle the dramatic first-sip reaction, and you do the beer breakdown. Right now I am fully in take me to Koriyama mode, because I seriously want that anniversary beer.
