Hop BroP-144×Citraba in Ikebukuro posted on March 6 that it has two new taps starting today. And the total tap lineup is 8!
MugiWhat!? So close to the station, too!? An 8-tap lineup is the kind of place where just choosing a beer feels like a win!
Hop BroThe lineup is great. From Daisen G Beer's Pilsner all the way to DD4D's Budda's Hands, the range of styles is seriously wide.
MugiWhat is that! Budda's Hands is a Hazy IPA, right? What even is a Hazy?
Hop BroBasically, it's the kind of IPA that gets hazy from dry-hop-derived aroma compounds and proteins, in other words a juicy, intensely aromatic IPA.
MugiOhhh! So it's got a light citrus aroma and isn't too bitter? That means it pairs perfectly with Citra-style beers!
Hop BroExactly. And with SHONAN BEER's Sakura Gose and Sankt Gallen's Orange Chocolate Stout, it's a lineup that makes tasting comparisons fun.
MugiHaving both sweet and sour options is strong! So, which beer is the right match for the new food item, the firefly squid peperoncino?
Hop BroStart with the Pilsner to pick up the saltiness, then finish with a Hazy IPA to layer on the aroma. It's the perfect one-stop course.
MugiI've decided already, this week's drink is in Ikebukuro! I can't stop wanting to do an after-work craft beer crawl near the station!
Hop BroAgreed. Let's start with a toast at P-144×Citraba and figure it out from there. I'm already in the mood to go drink right now.
