Three New Kegs at HOP MAN: Oni Densetsu, GORA BREWERY, and Passific Brewing
At the beer pub HOP MAN in Chigasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, three new beers have been tapped. Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu, GORA BREWERY, and Passific Brewing are lined up, offering a selection that lets you compare hop character from citrus to tropical fruit.
Hop BroAt the beer pub on the second floor near Chigasaki Station's north exit, HOP MAN has opened three new taps. This time, Oni Densetsu, GORA BREWERY, and Passific Brewing are all here, so you can compare each hop character side by side.
MugiWait, three beers at once!? At that rate, I'll get lost before I even choose!
Hop BroFirst up is Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu's Kinki Pale Ale, Mosaic Single Ver. It's ABV 5.5% and IBU 40, with citrus layered with fruitiness and tropical notes, plus a solid bitterness.
MugiWhat's IBU? Is that the number that makes your face scrunch up if it's high?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a measure of bitterness. At 40, it's fairly firm, but it's not just bitter for the sake of it. It has a nice balance that lets you properly enjoy the hop aroma too.
MugiI see! So what about GORA BREWERY's Doodle? The name sounds cute and fluffy, but it looks kind of rich!
Hop BroDoodle is a Hazy Pale Ale, the type where citrus and tropical notes stand out. It uses Citra, Idaho #7, Galaxy, and Hyperboost Citra, and the smooth mouthfeel from oats is a big draw.
MugiOats!? Wait, the oats from breakfast? Beer is suddenly sounding health-conscious!
Hop BroExactly, those oats. Thanks to them, the beer feels less sharp and goes down easily. Then when Passific Brewing's Fond of Bone comes in, it shifts into something strong as a drink to go with food.
MugiFond of Bone is the one that's easy to pair with food, right? Hearing that it's a beer for the 8th anniversary of Chigasaki's casual food stall Kanariya makes my stomach growl already...
Hop BroExactly. It has a citrusy hop aroma, firm bitterness, and a slightly fuller body, so it naturally calls for snacks. HOP MAN is great for tasting side by side, so today might as well be a three-glass course.
MugiDeal! I'll dive into the aroma with Doodle first, then confirm the bitterness with Kinki, and finish with Fond of Bone alongside dinner! I want to drink right now!
