Hop BroThis milestone service at GOOD HOPS in Tono, Iwate Prefecture is definitely not to be missed. May 30 is Manager Ohashi's last day at the taproom, and you can enjoy it from 11:00 to 20:00.
MugiWhat, it's the manager's last shift?! And it's extended into the evening, so it's basically an event. If I go, I'll probably cry and drink and cry and drink, so I'll be busy!
Hop BroOn the day, there'll be a greeting and toast from 17:30, and a DJ mini live from 18:00. Bringing snacks is allowed, so even though it's a taproom, it feels a bit like a small party.
MugiThere's a DJ too?! Wait, do beer places get that lively? It's not just about drinking, the send-off energy is intense!
Hop BroThere'll be a six-beer lineup on tap: Do Good, Saaz Saaz, Trinity, Tono Belgian IPA, Tono Wind, and Beginning IPA. It's impressive that they're making sure to include the new releases too.
MugiWait, what is a Belgian IPA?! I've heard of IPA, but when you add Belgian it suddenly sounds like some stylish spell!
Hop BroSimply put, it's the hop character of an IPA layered with the spicy and fruity notes typical of Belgian yeast. Tono Belgian IPA is exactly the kind of beer where that's the fun part.
MugiOhh! Then Beginning IPA sounds interesting too, and I like the name Do Good because it sounds kind. With three new releases, choosing where to start is seriously hard!
Hop BroAnd in cans, two new releases are debuting at 750 yen each, while Cheerful Nectaron, HAZY GOOD 2, and SORACHI ACE RESPECT are 10% off. The flow of drinking on-site and then continuing at home is strong.
MugiIt's also super convenient that it's a taproom two minutes from the station! Just drop by, thank the manager, and take home some limited beers too. That's perfect!
Hop BroA place with this kind of close-to-the-community feel makes you want to go even more on its last day. I want to show my appreciation to Ohashi-san with a toast and also witness the next step for GOOD HOPS.
MugiYeah, I definitely want to drink now! Toast with Do Good, try Tono Belgian IPA too, and finish with everyone smiling!
