Hop BroEsperanza in Yakuin updated on February 27, and now it's an 8-tap lineup with 2 new beers on tap!
MugiWhoa, the one they said was good for rainy nights? Just saying they’re two beers with totally different directions makes me want them!
Hop BroThe standout is Bighand Bros. Beer's ASTROPHYLLITE, and the style is Imperial Plum Porter, 7%. It's a dark beer with plums.
MugiThat name is way too strong! Is it sweet? Heavy? I'm making a face that says, what even is 'imperial'?
Hop BroImperial basically means 'richer and stronger,' and this one layers sweet-tart plum character and roasted notes onto a porter.
MugiOhhh! Then the other one, Yorocco Beer's SKYWALKER IPA, is the kind that goes down light and easy at 5.5% as an American IPA?
Hop BroExactly. It's aiming for tropical, citrusy, piney hop aroma, and the full 8-tap lineup has a wide range from IPA to farmhouse ale.
MugiQDH IPA and Mixed Fermentation? My brain is frothing over these spell-like words!
Hop BroQDH is the idea of layering hops in multiple stages to build aroma, and Mixed Fermentation is brewing with a mix of yeasts and microbes. In short, it's about aroma-focused brewing and the character of fermentation.
MugiAnd there's also a Bighand Bros. tap takeover planned for March 21, right? I want to drink ASTROPHYLLITE as prep and head to Yakuin tonight!
Hop BroExactly. Starting with SKYWALKER at Esperanza and finishing on the dark side is the ultimate rainy-night route. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!
