Hop BroCRAFT Rainbow in Okayama's Nodayacho has five taps ready today, making this a beer trip across Japan.
MugiWhat? Tokyo, Aichi, Saitama, and Hokkaido? That's a beer-powered Japan tour!
Hop BroThe standout is Y Market from Aichi with “Delay IPA.” It's built around bold hop aroma and bitterness.
MugiI hear IPA everywhere, but what is it? Is it the boss of bitter beers?
Hop BroThat's pretty close! IPA means India Pale Ale: a hop-forward beer style with citrusy or tropical aromas and a crisp bitter edge.
MugiWhoa, so it smells great as well as tasting bitter! Is NAMACHAん’s “Asakusa Line Mikan Ale” like orange juice?
Hop BroIts name certainly suggests citrus. But an ale may be more about enjoying the aroma than tasting like juice. The tap is the best way to find out!
MugiThe answer is in the glass? Then field research is required immediately!
Hop BroUBP’s “MemorialMatch” from Saitama and Brasserie Knot’s “AWA” from Hokkaido join the list, too—perfect for comparing regional character.
MugiAnd finishing lightly with Suntory draft sounds nice. It seems great for friends with different tastes!
Hop BroExactly. CRAFT Rainbow also serves sake and shochu, and its taps change daily. Check the official updates before you go for that one-day-only discovery.
MugiI want to start with the IPA aromas and try the mikan ale too! Let's toast in Okayama, Hop Bro!
