Hop BroToday's pick is Silvereye on tap. Hastamañana in Okazaki is pouring a Hazy IPA from Tokyo's Inkhorn Brewing.
MugiWhat! Tokyo brewery in Okazaki feels like a tiny beer trip without leaving town!
Hop BroAnd this one is Hazy IPA 6.5%, built around Citra and Galaxy, with Nelson Sauvin and Citra LUPOMAX layered in.
MugiHold on, what is LUPOMAX? That sounds less like hops and more like a finishing move!
Hop BroPut simply, it's a concentrated hop form. It packs aroma tightly so the beer can hit with more fruit and lift.
MugiOhhh, so that peach and passionfruit vibe isn't random, it's built right into the hop plan!
Hop BroExactly. There's grapefruit in there too, and the bitterness stays gentle, so it drinks lighter than it looks.
MugiThat's a relief! With all that haze I expected a full-on juice bomb that sits on me like a blanket.
Hop BroBest part, as it warms a little, the aroma keeps shifting and the balance settles in. That's taproom beer behavior right there.
MugiThat is dangerous in the best way. One glass at Hastamañana and I'd be sniffing it like I'm judging perfume.
Hop BroIt's also been introduced as a long-awaited return, so this is the kind of guest beer worth catching now.
MugiThen it's settled, I want it now. You do the expert talk, I'll do the loud reactions, and we drink.
