Hop BroAt CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI in Funabashi, Seiran and Orion are being tapped at the same time. Tap updates on a rainy day are exactly the kind of thing that just pulls you into the bar.
MugiWhat! Hop Kotan Brewing and Kyoto Brewing together!? And it's on the second floor near Funabashi Station, so it feels like a secret base and gets me really excited!
Hop BroSeiran is a Cold IPA, and its signature is a sharp, crisp bitterness. It's the kind that cuts straight through the damp air.
MugiCold IPA? So it's a cold IPA? Beer culture is scary when temperature alone decides its personality!
Hop BroBasically, it keeps the IPA-like aromatic fermentation character while finishing dry and light on the palate. That's why the refreshing bitterness stands out.
MugiI see! And Orion is a TDH West Coast DIPA, right? TDH sounds like a spell, so it feels kind of powerful!
Hop BroExactly. It means Triple Dry Hopped, layering hop impact over and over. What's interesting is that it was first announced as a HAZY-style beer, but ultimately became a West Coast DIPA.
MugiWait, a change in direction!? But if it's for hop junkies, that's even better. I love the kind that hits you right in the face with aroma!
Hop BroThe food is good too. They have a marinade of new onions and sakura yellowtail, which resets your palate without getting in the way of the aroma and bitterness.
MugiAnd if East-West Symphony is on the board too, that sounds like an infinite loop of bouncing between food and beer!
Hop BroAnd if you can use Kanpai PASS too, it's pretty much perfect as a rainy-day detour.
MugiI can't handle this anymore, I want to raise a glass right now!
