Hop BroIts regular lineup includes Oyama Ale, 808 ESB, and 808 IPA. ESB means English Special Bitter, a British-style ale known for malty toastiness and balanced bitterness.
MugiESB sounded like a secret code! So it means malty flavor takes center stage. I could probably handle that!
Hop BroExactly. Try the IPA for hop aroma, too. The venue will have beer-friendly food galore—curry, pizza, sandwiches, saury, and more.
MugiEven saury?! Foam meets grilled fish sounds dangerously delicious. I need to arrive hungry!
Hop BroAdvance tickets are 2,000 yen for eleven 200-yen tickets; they’re 2,200 yen at the door. That makes advance tickets the bargain.
