Hop BroMinoh Beer's Session Black IPA is on at TOWA, the beer pub in Ueno. It looks dark but drinks light, so it's definitely one to watch.
MugiWhoa! A black IPA really looks and tastes that different? It already looks heavy, so being light feels unfair!
Hop BroThat's the thing. It has a solid roasted aroma, but the sip goes down smoothly. That balance of roasted aroma and lightness is exactly what dark-beer fans love.
MugiWhat?! Why is it light even though it's black? It feels like the beer turns into someone else halfway through!
Hop BroThe key is the modest 4.5% ABV. It doesn't push the heaviness too hard, so it lands at just the right balance for a spring pint.
MugiAhh! Easy to drink in spring really does sound like something you'd want with the cherry blossoms. That completely flipped my image of dark beer!
Hop BroAnd TOWA is a beer pub on the second floor of 6-11-12 Ueno that also lets you enjoy soba, which makes it even more interesting. Paired with food, this beer should shine even more.
MugiWhat, soba at a beer pub!? That combo goes way beyond the kind of Ueno night I was imagining!
Hop BroThe post also said that No. 4 tap, Tokyo Mankai, was running low. I like how it keeps the core lineup while sliding in a guest beer; you can really see the rhythm of the bar.
MugiSo there’s the fun of the guest beer, plus the comfort of the regular lineup. That gives me even more reasons to drink in Ueno!
Hop BroExactly. It has that Minoh Beer dark-beer lineage, and it's ideal after a meal or for a second round, too. This is the kind of beer that makes you want another one at TOWA.
MugiYeah, now I'm in nothing but a mood to go out drinking! I want that roasted, dark beer waiting for me in Ueno!
