Hop BroAt Bar Malt Road in Kanda, Summer Gift Vol. 2 will be tapped starting May 23. What's more, it's brewed by Twin Peaks Mountain Brewing, and the style is German-style Pilsner.
MugiWhoa! Just the name Summer Gift already sounds refreshing! A Pilsner is that crisp, easy-to-drink kind, right?
Hop BroExactly. This one is 5.0% ABV, with IBU 48 and SRM 5.6, which makes it interesting because even the shape of the bitterness has been carefully designed.
MugiIBU and SRM suddenly sound like a science class! If there are too many numbers, won't the deliciousness get lost!?
Hop BroDon't worry. Simply put, IBU is bitterness and SRM is color. So this is a Pilsner that is clear and lively to drink, while still having a well-defined profile.
MugiOhhh! And the malts are Pilsner and Munich, and the hops are Magnum, Mittelfrueh, and Tettnanger. The names alone sound powerful, don't they?
Hop BroThe idea is that Magnum builds the backbone of bitterness, while Mittelfrueh and Tettnanger add elegance. That's why the hop design is so careful.
MugiI see! And Bar Malt Road is that calm place that feels like a countryside pub in Britain, right? Being easy to enter even alone is a big help!
Hop BroRight. It has counter seats, and you can walk there from Kanda Station, Awajicho Station, or Ogawamachi Station. It's great that you can drop in after work and enjoy it with eight draft beers.
MugiAnd they're recommending quiche too! I love beer with food, so the moment I heard it goes great with quiche, my stomach started rumbling!
Hop BroYeah, this is definitely one to check out before the weather gets hotter. Drinking a seasonal house lager in Kanda while snacking on quiche sounds perfect.
MugiDeal! I'm already in the mood for a drink after work, so let's go have this Pilsner too!
