Hop BroToday's topic is Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand. This brewpub in Komagome posted its July 24 update, and seeing 8 beers across 10 taps is already enough to start planning a route.
MugiWait, 8 beers on 10 taps? Are the other two secret treasure chests? That is way too intriguing for one place in Komagome!
Hop BroUp front you've got Sauvin Belgo, an American Belgo Style Ale, Ryusui Soso #2 as an Italian Pilsner, Mashup IPA Ekuanot as a Belgian IPA, and Rolling Lolly as an American IPA. That's a serious opening lineup.
MugiWhoa, but Italian Pilsner... what even is that? A pilsner wearing a pasta chef hat?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. It's a crisp lager with dry-hop aroma layered on top, so it stays clean while the nose gets bright and floral.
MugiWhat is that! Dry hopping sounds like laundry. We're not hanging beer outside to dry, right?!
Hop BroDefinitely not. You add hops after fermentation to boost aroma, basically an extra aroma charge. That's why beers like Ryusui Soso #2 and Sauvin Belgo can pop so nicely.
MugiOkay, I get it! But in the same place you can go from pineapple gose to Kurotobi #4, a Belgian Stout? That's not a menu, that's a festival.
Hop BroExactly. Komagome Best Bitter gives you the calm option, EL BAMP HAZY is almost gone, and the whole board runs from lager to stout. It's perfect for building a tasting flight in one stop.
MugiAnd I love that it's such a beer-first place. Then on July 25 and 26 they add seasonal veggie tapas too? That is dangerously good weekend energy.
Hop BroRight. The food is usually light so beer stays center stage, and then they bring in a guest chef on top of that. That's a substance over flash kind of shop.
MugiI'm sold. Start with Ryusui Soso #2, swing to the pineapple gose, finish with Kurotobi #4, and just taste through everything!
Hop BroThat route is absolutely correct. One stop in Komagome and suddenly I want a pint now.
