Hop BroTHE DODO HOUSE in Meguro has unveiled its seven domestic labels for March 20. It's a holiday opening from 2:00 p.m. to midnight, so it's the kind of lineup you can really enjoy from afternoon into the night.
MugiWhoa, 2:00 p.m. to midnight is long! And having everything from Toyama to Kanagawa is fun, like a map!
Hop BroExactly. The lineup starts with Jōhana Beer's "Mokuno no Sakura," then moves on to Gargery's "Estella" and Kyoto Brewing's "Six Days Off." It feels like seven beers crossing regions, and it's easy to build a tasting route.
MugiWhat do you mean, a tasting route? That suddenly sounds super expert! But yeah, if you drink them one by one, it sounds like you'd really notice the differences!
Hop BroFor example, "Blizzard Pale Ale" sounds like one that's meant to be crisp and easy to drink. A pale ale's appeal is its moderate hop character, so it isn't too heavy and goes down smoothly.
MugiHuh! But hop character? That sounds like a delicious spell!
Hop BroSimply put, it's the star of the aroma. It can support the sweetness of the malt while adding citrusy or grassy notes, which is why a name like "Blizzard Pale Ale" can make such a different impression.
MugiI see, citrusy notes make me want to drink it right away! Then names like "Joy Juice ver.3" and "Sunset Elixir" catch my eye too!
Hop BroThat playful naming is very THE DODO HOUSE, too. When you line up Anglo Japanese Brewing and Barbaric Works, it's interesting that they're all full of personality yet still come together in one shop.
MugiAnd they're also refreshing the menu of domestic spirits and liqueurs? That's way too broad for a beer pub!
Hop BroExactly, but beer is still the star. If you're taking your time in Meguro, make today a day for Japanese craft, and by the end you'll want to work through each one, from "Mokuno no Sakura" to "Sunset Elixir."
MugiWhoa, just reading this has my throat reacting already! I totally get that feeling of wanting to go one by one!
