At the beer pub Bar So-ma (Baso-ma) in Tobu Nerima, a new IPA, 'Hungers Mark,' has arrived from Iwate's BrewBeast. This is a juicy, easy-drinking beer that can be leisurely enjoyed in the small basement interior.
Hop BroAt Bar So-ma in the basement of Tobu Nerima, Hungers Mark has arrived from BrewBeast in Iwate. It's an IPA, but it sounds juicy and easy to drink, which makes it pretty interesting.
MugiWhat! You can drink such a tasty-looking IPA in that small basement beer bar? And juicy means, like, it tastes like fruit juice or something?
Hop BroIn beer speak, it doesn't mean actual juice; it more often means the hop aroma is rich. Hungers Mark isn't too heavy, but its character still comes through clearly, and that's the good part.
MugiThat sounds so confusing! An IPA that's not too heavy means it's bitter but light? Aren't those kind of opposite?
Hop BroThat's a good point. IPAs tend to put bitterness and aroma front and center, but this one is made with a lighter body so it's easy to keep drinking. That's why it works before or after a meal too.
MugiOhh! So it's like it hits hard, but you can keep gulping it down. I get why they say it's something you'd want to drink in any situation!
Hop BroExactly, and Bar So-ma is a place where the fun comes from the changing selection, since they serve seasonal beers every month. There isn't a cover charge, and the counter-centered casual feel is nice too.
MugiNice! And if they also have Iwate sausage and cheese, that's a strong snack lineup. It sounds like the whole night would get better, not just the beer!
Hop BroExactly. In that calm basement space, it seems great to take your time enjoying the hop aroma while pairing it with light snacks.
MugiJust reading this makes me want to go already...! This is why craft beer is fun - you get encounters like a beer you can drink right now.
Hop BroYeah, that's settled then. I want one glass of BrewBeast's Hungers Mark in Tobu Nerima, and then to take it easy with some light snacks.
MugiLet's go, let's go! I want to toast with an easy-drinking IPA today too! Yep, I'm officially in beer-wanting mode now!
