Hop BroAnd Beer in Koenji is currently pouring four German-style beers. That really gets the tasting-flight itch going!
MugiWhoa, four kinds? Do you think an And Beer flight is something a craft-beer beginner can understand?
Hop BroA great entry point is the crisp And Kolsh. It is a clean ale made with low-temperature fermentation, and it is ideal for a first glass.
MugiWhat is that? A low-fermented ale? It is an ale but fermented cold? My brain just ordered a snack break!
Hop BroThat is the fun part. Kölsch uses ale yeast, then ferments and matures at cooler temperatures, so it can feel as crisp as a lager while retaining ale character.
MugiOhhh! So it means light, but still properly beer-y? If it is perfect for the first pint, I am grabbing a glass at maximum speed!
Hop BroThen compare all four and notice differences in aroma and mouthfeel. The exact pours and availability should be checked on arrival, but a German-style comparison is the main attraction.
MugiAnd the food lineup is outrageously good! Duck-mince biryani, spicy butter chicken, and Gujo miso keema? This is not homework; it is a reward festival!
Hop BroDinner also includes sauerkraut, currywurst, and schnitzel. I especially want to study—very seriously—the pairing of currywurst spices with a crisp Kölsch.
MugiYou say “study,” but that is clearly your ordering-another-round face! Still, And Beer is a brewpub with brewing equipment, so it sounds like you can enjoy the makers’ atmosphere too.
Hop BroExactly. It is open continuously from 11:30 to 22:00 in Koenji-kita, while beer takeaway runs from 10:00 to 22:00. Before visiting, check the official social media for schedule updates.
MugiThe terrace welcomes dogs and cats, and there is takeaway too, right? And Kolsh and German food—I want that tasting flight right now!
Hop BroStart with a refreshing glass, compare all four, then match them with food. Let’s take a little German beer trip in Koenji—cheers!
