Hop BroBeer House Hobbit's August 26 lineup has a six-tap spread worth talking about. The headliner is Tomato Ale from Iwate Kura Beer.
MugiWait, a tomato ale? That's beer, not a salad! Do I sip it or attack it with a fork?
Hop BroIt is beer, and a serious one. It's made with ripe tomatoes, so you get rich aroma and umami, with full tomato vibes even in the appearance.
MugiWhoa, okay, but 'ale' suddenly sounds fancy. What's an ale? Is that secret tomato-club jargon?
Hop BroIn simple terms, ale uses top fermentation, which usually brings out more aroma. So think of it as an aroma-forward style and you're set.
MugiGot it, so the tomato character comes through clearly. That's basically drinkable caprese and now I'm very interested.
Hop BroAnd Beer House Hobbit in Osaka's Hirakata isn't stopping there. It also has Session Citra White from Hirakata Beer, Taiyo no Lager from Miyazaki Hideji, plus Nomcraft IPA and Octopus King in a cross-region lineup.
MugiHold on, Session Citra White even sounds stylish. What's session? A beer for your break time?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. Session usually means lighter and easier to keep drinking, so with Kyushu Craft Kabosu included, it's a tap-flight friendly set of six drafts.
MugiMiyazaki, Wakayama, Iwate, and local Hirakata? That's a beer road trip without leaving your seat!
Hop BroThe food side is strong too. Vegetable tempura, oven-roasted seasonal vegetables with bacon, and fried pork shoulder with shibazuke tartar make this an I need a pint situation.
MugiThat's just unfair. I'm taking Tomato Ale with fresh potato chips, no debate. I want that now!
