MugiWhoa, that many! It's like a department store of beer. I don't even know where to start!
Hop BroFirst up is Breakside Brewery's Wanderlust IPA. It's a classic IPA right in the heart of the style, with that satisfying West Coast aroma and bitterness.
MugiWhat even is West Coast style? Does that mean it's bitter? Or does it taste salty like the ocean?
Hop BroIt doesn't taste like the sea, but the defining feature is clean, sharp bitterness. Think citrusy hop aroma up front, followed by a crisp finish.
MugiI see! And it said Ex Novo's Eliot is back after a long time, right? Restocks like that feel rare, so they're exciting!
Hop BroExactly, just being back after a while is enough to get you hyped. On top of that, Caldera has both a Non-Alcoholic IPA and a Non-Alcoholic Lager, which instantly widens the options for drinkers.
MugiWait, they have both an NA IPA and an NA lager?! Being able to compare them side by side is amazing. It feels like bar hopping without getting drunk!
Hop BroAnd with four beers from Hoppukotan Brewing in Hokkaido lined up too, you can choose West Coast styles or non-alcoholic options depending on your mood. The owner's curation really shines through, and that's what makes Keisei Koiwa Craft Liquor Shop feel like itself.
MugiJust being tucked down a back alley makes it feel exciting, and it has that reward for the people who found it kind of charm! I want to go hunt it down today and agonize over my first beer!
