Meguro's Craft Beer & Wine THE DODO HOUSE Lists 8 Domestic Beers on Its April 17 Tap List
Craft Beer & Wine THE DODO HOUSE (Meguro, Tokyo) has released its tap list for Friday, April 17. It introduced eight beers centered on domestic breweries such as Minoh Beer, Johana Beer, and Minamishinshu Beer, and the day began at 5:00 p.m. with the table seats almost entirely booked.
Hop BroToday, the tap list at THE DODO HOUSE in Meguro is hot. It’s eight beers centered on domestic breweries, and it looks like things were lively right from the start on a Friday.
MugiWhat, eight beers!? And they’re mostly from domestic breweries? That’s basically a tasting session already!
Hop BroExactly. I like seeing a lineup that goes from Minoh Beer’s "Nice Bitter" to Johana Beer’s "Golden Spark." Starting with a light bitter as the first drink feels just right.
MugiI get that bitter means, well, bitter, but what makes it "nice"!? I’m confused whether Nice Bitter is a compliment or not!
Hop BroHere, bitter refers to an English-style beer, so it’s not about extreme bitterness so much as the balance with the malt character. In other words, the key is the harmony between bitterness and richness.
MugiOh, I see! Then Minamishinshu Beer’s "Ogna Biscuit Hop" sounds interesting just from the name alone, like a snack! What even is Biscuit Hop? It sounds tasty!
Hop BroThink of it as a layered flavor with the freshly baked character of malt and the aroma of hops. And on top of that, there’s Kankiku Helles, Baeren’s Rye Ale, and Y.Market’s Super IPA, so the range of flavors is really wide.
MugiWhat’s Helles!? What’s Rye Ale!? I sort of get IPA, but now my head is full of beer! It’s like a flood of styles!
Hop BroHelles is a clean, easy-drinking German-style lager, and rye ale has a slightly spicy grain aroma. Then Udon Brewing’s "Yuzu Oroshi Udon Hazy IPA" comes in, so the cross-Japan tasting is really fun.
MugiBeing able to drink like you’re on a trip right in Meguro is the best! If it opens at 5 p.m. and there’s room at the counter, I want to stop by after work, and saying just one drink tonight is the perfect excuse!
