Hop BroKofukotan Brewing's "Ignition" has landed at Susukino Yell STAND, the beer pub in Susukino, Sapporo. Just reading the article makes me want a pint, doesn’t it?
MugiWhoa, even the name "Ignition" sounds intense! But I can’t picture what kind of beer it is at all.
Hop BroIt’s a session IPL. Think of it as a lager with crispness plus IPA-like hop character, but kept lighter and easier to drink.
MugiSession, IPL... my brain is already getting all hop-confused. How is that different from a regular lager?
Hop BroSimply put, it’s built on a clean base with 100% pilsner malt, then given character through the hops. Because the malt bill is so simple, the aroma and bitterness stand out more clearly.
MugiOhhh, so it sounds like something you can gulp down easily. And you still get to enjoy the aroma too? That’s the best of both worlds!
Hop BroExactly. The main hops are Simcoe and Motueka, bringing grapefruit-like notes, a piney nuance, and a bright lime-like citrus layer on top.
MugiPine and lime? That’s way too much information for a beer! But I like that kind of thing. It’s like an aroma traffic jam—really fun!
Hop BroAnd because it has that clean finish from lager yeast, it still finishes crisp even when the aroma is bold. It works both as a first pint and as a beer to pair with food.
MugiIt’s right by Susukino Station, so it’s easy to swing by on the way somewhere else, and it sounds fun to hunt for Hokkaido flavors underground! This is definitely tonight’s pint!
Hop BroYeah, it’s the kind of place where you can stand and drink at COCONO SUSUKINO B1F while really getting to know Hokkaido’s character. It makes me want to head out for this after work today.
