The beer pub HOP MAN in Chigasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture has updated its "ON TAP TODAY" lineup.

Hop BroHOP MAN in Chigasaki has updated its ON TAP TODAY, lining up THE PERFECT Black Label, Passific Brewing's Zwickle Pils, and even Shiga Kogen Beer.
MugiWhoa! So Black Label and craft beer are on the same shelf? That's a delicious traffic jam for the brain!
Hop BroExactly. The lineup is a full-blown style traffic jam, from pilsner, Belgian white, weizen, fruit beer, and sour ale, so it's easy to put together anything from a first pint to a tasting flight.
MugiI get pilsner, but is a Belgian white a white beer? Like some Snowy Ice Cream thing?
Hop BroIt's more about the wheat and spice character than the color. At HOP MAN, it's fun to compare the aroma character in beers like Brasserie Knot's FLOWER and Noroshi Brewing's Noroshi DH RYE Saison.
MugiWhat is that! What's DH? There are so many letters it looks like a code!
Hop BroDH stands for dry hopping, a method of adding hop aroma during or after fermentation. That's why Noroshi DH RYE Saison really puts the aroma front and center, and why it makes sense to line it up with fruit-driven beers like Y.Market's PSYCHEDELICROCK KRIEK and Minami Shinshu's Apple Hop Ringo 3 Brothers.
MugiWow, there are beers with full-on fruit character too? Just the name Ringo 3 Brothers is enough to make my throat start watering.
Hop BroAnd since the in-store BOTTLE SHOP allows takeaway too, the nice part is that you can open a beer you liked on draft again at home. Being able to choose karuizawaQ's Meguri, Daisen G Beer's Ginyu Bakuto, and Moji Port Beer's Weizen is a strong lineup.
MugiIf Chigasaki has this much in one place, it makes me want to go on a tasting expedition. Start with Black Label today, and finish with a limited draft!
