KOBO Makes Its First Pour at Beer shop Llama in Mitaka, with a Dekoboko Collaboration Arriving

Hop BroBig news from Beer shop Llama in Mitaka: KOBO Brewery's first tap has arrived, and they even brought a collaboration with it!
MugiWhoa! Llama always has interesting stuff, but is KOBO's first tap really that rare?
Hop BroIt's a big one. It's a brewery run by two people from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and its hallmark is brewing with respect for tradition.
MugiOhh! This "Dekoboko Pilsner" says Pilsner ABV 5.0% - is it beginner-friendly?
Hop BroAbsolutely. Pilsner is a lager style with a crisp finish and, in other words, a pleasant hop aroma. If you want to say it more technically, it has a clean lager profile, but basically it goes down smoothly!
MugiThat's amazing! So it works as both a first drink and a finisher - it's basically a beer that can go both ways!
Hop BroExactly. And right now Llama's lineup has huge range, with sours through porters all lined up together, which is a real strength.
MugiWait, so you can compare KUNITACHI's Session IPA, Stoup/WCB's Hazy DIPA, and even DD4D's chili IPA all in one place!?
Hop BroYou can. If you want to build a flow, it's a lot of fun to design the drinking order - light first, then more aromatic, then dark styles, with a curveball in between.
MugiThen it's settled! Let's start with Dekoboko Pilsner at Llama in the Mitaka Station area and go on a tap crawl - I want to drink it right now!
