Hop BroToday it's Nomcraft's Banana Kick newly tapped at the beer pub Mukuraf in Shinohashi, Koto Ward, Tokyo. It's a Banana Weizen collaboration with SEOUL BREWING, and it carries the aroma of banana.
MugiWait, beer with banana!? Does that banana aroma make it taste sweet like juice?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. The aroma of ripe banana is layered with a subtle clove note, and the softness of a wheat beer makes it go down smoothly.
MugiClove aroma is suddenly too sophisticated! In food terms, that turns into the whole what flavor is this even? problem!
Hop BroSimply put, it's a combination of banana fruitiness with a spicy nuance. It's also creamy and smooth, and the Weizen-like acidity brings out the savoriness of food.
MugiSo the drink is even cheering on the meal!? Then I'm also curious about Mukuraf's draft lineup!
Hop BroThe drafts are pretty bold. HUMANS BEER's 'GUAVA and MANGO' Wheat Ale, Kyoto Brewing's 'HOP IDOL-STRATA,' Kakegawa Farm Brewing's 'Forever Love' Hazy IPA, and FLORA FERMENTATION's 'Raven' West Coast IPA make it a lineup you can choose from by mood.
MugiWait, I'm already full just from the names! And there are bottles too? The depth of the bottle selection is seriously intense!
Hop BroExactly. GOODHOPS, Brasserie Knot, West Coast Brewing, and Green Neighbors are all lined up, so from fruit-driven beers to IPAs, it's a pile of choices.
MugiLamb stew, fresh whitebait focaccia, and more - the snacks are strong too, so this is the kind of place you want to stay awhile! Best of all, it's easy to pair with beer.
Hop BroThe ideal flow is one pint on draft, then one bottle to finish. And since last entry is at 8:00 p.m., the right move is to go early - this is definitely a place I'd want to go tonight.
