Hop BroKobe's Sannomiya beer pub, Onajianano Mujina, has put together a really interesting tap list for today. With seven draft beers plus bottle-aged selections, it's a lineup that makes comparison tasting easy.
MugiWhat, seven types!? That's a comparison-tasting paradise! And with names like Oni Densetsu and rootandbranch, the lettering alone is enough to make my heart race!
Hop BroWhat really stands out first is Oni Densetsu's Kinki Pale Ale Comet Single Ver.. Since it's a pale ale built with a single hop, Comet, the hop character comes through very directly.
MugiWhat is a Single Ver.!? Does that mean one-hop-only? It suddenly feels like training, but is it easy to drink?
Hop BroExactly. Narrowing the hops makes the aroma's outline easier to see. And this time there's also BreakEdge's rather haze-leaning finish, so it's fun how sharply it contrasts with the clear pale ale.
MugiWow, it's a showdown between clear and hazy! That's one of the sneaky joys of craft beer, being fun just to look at. I'm also curious about BreakEdge's REC, and rootandbranch's Propeller sounds like it's ready to take off!
Hop BroThe middle part is strong too. With Shiga Kogen Beer's Snow Monky, Minoh Beer's Blooming IPA, Barbaric WORKS's MASTER HEIR, and even another rootandbranch beer with the long name, there's enough variety in aroma, bitterness, and body that it never gets boring.
MugiJust reading that long name is enough to get me tipsy! It's amazing that even with such a strong name, it's still easy to compare. If there's an IPA too, are we talking citrusy stuff and big punchy styles?
Hop BroYou should be able to enjoy that part too. And the food is masala cashews and 2Bro pizza, which doesn't get in the way of the beer too much. It keeps the snacks from muddying the flavors, making it easier to follow the tap's expression.
MugiI see, it's important for snacks not to assert themselves too much! Not interfering with the aroma is quietly such a hero move. And no dried squid allowed means they're protecting the beer's aroma.
Hop BroExactly. Inside, they also recommend keeping perfume to a minimum, so you can really catch the aromas as you drink. And with bottles including wood-barrel-aged Yamabushi, the experience extends beyond draft beer into the world of aging.
MugiA place this broad in Kobe is kind of moving. This might be the spot for tonight's drink. From pale to hazy styles, and then aged bottles at the end, it makes me want to go out for drinks together!
Tap Lineup
Today's draft lineup has seven beers. It starts with Oni Densetsu's "Kinki Pale Ale Comet Single Ver.", which comes in with a crystal-clear look, followed by BreakEdge's "REC" and rootandbranch's "Propeller", a pair you can enjoy for their hazy depth. In the middle are Shiga Kogen Beer's "Snow Monky", Minoh Beer's "Blooming IPA", Barbaric WORKS's "MASTER HEIR", and rootandbranch's "The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivisim - Chapter I...", making it an easy lineup for side-by-side tasting, including the differences in appearance.
The newly tapped beer is another BreakEdge pour, and according to the shop, it leans even more toward BreakEdge's character than the previous one, with a decidedly haze-forward finish. It sounds like it will be served while the staff give a walkthrough to a newbie (provisional), so it's a good choice for a day when you want to sip slowly while following the tap changes.
Food and Atmosphere
Food is masala cashews and 2Bro pizza. The snacks are centered on not getting in the way of the beer, making it easy to follow the tap's expression as-is. Inside, they ask guests to keep perfume use to a minimum while allowing outside food and other non-beverage items. However, dried squid is not allowed. In Kobe's Sannomiya, it's a beer pub worth remembering for the care it takes with beer aroma.
Bottles Too
The bottle lineup also includes Shiga Kogen Beer's "Extra Quadrupel (wood-barrel-aged Yamabushi)", "Wood-barrel-aged Yamabushi ore no sake ga nome ne no ka / grand cru #2", and "Wood-barrel-aged Yamabushi taro \"grand cru\"", so the selection goes beyond draft beer into a wide range of aged styles.
