Hop BroToday's topic is Chiitoko Shoten's four taps. In its August 6 update from Shimosuwa, the shop posted a lineup that makes you want to stop by on an evening walk.
MugiWait, four draft beers already sounds dangerous for my self-control! What are they pouring?
Hop BroThey've got Kölsch Style Ale, Saison, Hazy IPA, and IPA, basically four distinct styles. It goes from light and crisp to full-on hop aroma.
MugiWhoa, but what is Kölsch-style? It sounds like a spell that makes your glass foam over.
Hop BroHere's the simple version: that Kölsch-like profile is light, clean, and easy to drink. In brewing terms it's top-fermented, but in normal-human terms it's perfect for your first glass.
MugiOkay, got it! Then Hazy IPA is the cloudy one, right? Like the beer version of my unfinished summer plans?
Hop BroExactly. Its signature is haze and juicy aroma. The hops come forward, and it can feel fruity without being aggressively bitter.
MugiThat sounds amazing! If it runs from Saison to IPA, both beginners and beer nerds can find something to love.
Hop BroAnd the shop identity, candy, beer, and coffee, is already ridiculously strong. It's the kind of place that turns a casual night stop into an event.
MugiNope, I'm done for. My evening walk route now needs to pass Chiitoko Shoten! I want to start with the Kölsch-style and make it all the way to the IPA.
Hop BroThat's the move. It's a lineup made for a flight: start light, finish hop-forward, and let the side-by-side comparison do the talking.
MugiSold. This update makes me want a toast in Shimosuwa right now, standing in front of those taps going, 'Okay, which one first?'
