Hop BroBeer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji has a March 14 tap update that is seriously hot. IPA fans shouldn't miss it!
MugiWait, in Kokubunji that much!? What kind of draft beers from across Japan are on tap?
Hop BroThere are two new taps: Let's Beer Works' On My Way to the Moon is a Hazy IPA, and REPUBREW's 69IPA is a West Coast IPA.
MugiWhoa! Hazy and West Coast sound intense just from the names. How are they different?
Hop BroIn short, Hazy tends to be juicy with a softer bitterness, while West Coast is clear and sharp in its bitterness. Even though they're both IPAs, their characters are almost opposites.
MugiOh, I want to compare them! And Shimanami Cat Strawberry Ice Cream is such a cute name that I laughed before I even drank anything!
Hop BroOn top of that, there are Hansharo Beer's Melon Weizen & Melon, Kyoto Brewing's Socalion, Daisen G Beer's Stout, and even Pilsner Urquell on the list, so the range is huge.
MugiWait, not just craft beer but traditional lager too!? The range of the tap lineup is unbelievable!
Hop BroAnd with Coming Soon notices for Shiga Kogen Beer's Shiga Kogen Helles!? and Minoh Beer's Nice Bitter, plus being right near the south exit of Kokubunji Station and open from 15:00 to 25:00, it's a strong lineup.
MugiIt's decided! Today I want to compare different IPAs by their hop character and finish with a stout. Let's go now!
