Hop BroAt the Akabane beer pub UNDERGROUND Craft Beer Akabane, four guest beers were tapped all at once.
MugiWhat, four at once? A tap rotation news flash that exciting?
Hop BroAnd the lineup is strong. Inkhorn Brewing's Osprey is a West Coast Triple IPA, the kind with a big hop presence and a heavy alcohol presence.
MugiWhoa, it already sounds strong from the name! Triple IPA sounds kind of like a training regimen, doesn't it?
Hop BroMore than a regimen, it's a rich style with layers of hops. It's a beer meant to enjoy the powerful aroma rather than sharpness, and it has serious body.
MugiI see, and Hoppu Kotan Brewing's Seiran is a Cold IPA, right? The name sounds cool, so I'm curious!
Hop BroExactly. A Cold IPA is appealing for its crisp drinkability, while also bringing out aroma. In other words, it's a beer aiming for a balance of sharpness and aroma.
MugiOhh! Then Nomcraft Brewing's Banana Kick is banana, just like the name says?
Hop BroThat's right. Since it's a Banana Weizen, the banana aroma from the yeast is the star. It has the softness of wheat too, so it's interesting that it is easy to drink even though the banana aroma is the main attraction.
MugiAnd Totopia Brewery's Duskphobia is a DDH Hazy Pale Ale, so that's the cloudy, juicy kind, right!?
Hop BroYep, with DDH it pushes hop aroma to the front, and it should still have the easy drinkability of a Hazy Pale Ale. Plus, the shop has 12 taps or more, over 100 bottled beers, and even handmade dumplings, so the tasting comparisons never stop.
MugiThat range is strong in Akabane! It feels like a place to enjoy whatever is on tap now, and today everything from rich IPAs to banana-forward beers sounds tempting!
Hop BroExactly. Watching the social updates makes you want to follow the next rotation too, and this is the kind of place where you end up spoiled for choice for your drink of the night.
