Hop BroAwashima Soko's May 18 taps just got two kegs from Nara Brewing.
MugiWhat, two kegs? KIP and LOCOMOTION sound strong just from the names...!
Hop BroKIP's signature is its wet-hop aroma, a pilsner with that just-picked freshness drifting in.
MugiWhat's wet hop supposed to mean? Freshly picked hops used as is?
Hop BroExactly. They're hops before drying, so they give off a fresh aroma easily. LOCOMOTION is an American IPA, with juicy citrus and tropical notes.
MugiWow, I want to compare them side by side! And there are three YOROCCO beers too? That's unfair!
Hop BroTobiuo Saison is a refreshing saison, Hometown Stout has roastiness, and YEXIT has sharply defined bitterness, so the range of styles is really wide.
MugiAwashima Soko is the kind of place where you can drink at a relaxed pace, right?
Hop BroIt's a beer pub along Awashima-dori, with food L.O. at 23:00 and drinks until 23:30. It's good for a post-work pint or for serious side-by-side tastings.
MugiThen I have to go! If pilsner through stout are on tap, tonight calls for a crawl-style toast!
