Hop BroToday’s highlight is the Komagome brewpub Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand, right? Ten house-brewed taps lined up in a row makes it feel like you’re drinking the shop’s “now” as it is.
MugiWhoa, 10 taps!? That sounds like the kind of thing that fills your brain with beer before you even choose! A full 10-beer lineup is exciting, but also overwhelming.
Hop BroWhat’s great about the lineup is that it really spans from lager to hazy. When you’ve got Shinmei Lager, Red IPA v.2, Kurotobi, and Komagome EX Bitter all together, you can tell they’ve designed the tasting experience well.
MugiWait, wait, what’s a Red IPA? I’ve heard of IPA, but when you say hop thickness, you suddenly sound like an expert, and that’s unfair!
Hop BroBroadly speaking, it’s a kind of IPA that brings out hop aroma and bitterness strongly. Here they’ve got Red IPA v.2 plus Juicy IPA, so you can enjoy the difference in aroma direction.
MugiI see! Then I’d want to drink something dark too, and Kurotobi and Komagome EX Bitter sound like a nice way to settle in a bit. Having everything from light beers to dark ones is basically a deluxe set.
Hop BroExactly, and what’s impressive is that they’ve also got strong Belgian-style options. Saiyuki DIPA has star anise in it, and OK.Hazy. leans toward a hopfen weisse style, so it’s wilder inside than it looks.
MugiStar anise!? That’s the kind of beer that makes you want to go to Chinatown before you even drink it! Just from the name, Saiyuki DIPA already feels like the start of a flavor adventure!
Hop BroWhat’s even more interesting is Jinzamomi Sour Ale. It combines herbs with raspberry and pomegranate, so it’s not just about acidity; the aroma and color are bright too, and adding it as an in-between beer really tightens up the flow.
MugiIf you can have this much fun in Komagome, that’s amazing! Today I’m definitely going to say, just one casual beer near the station, and then end up having two or three anyway!
