Hop BroMeguro has a little emergency today: at THE DODO HOUSE, Hakuchu Dodo is back.
MugiWhat! That means last year's anniversary beer is making a limited-return comeback?!
Hop BroExactly. It's a collab between Kankiku Brewery and the bar, built as a wheat lager release.
MugiWait, what is a wheat lager? Is this basically drinkable bread?
Hop BroNot quite, but the wheat softens the texture, and the malt flavor plus hop bitterness land in a gentle easy mouthfeel.
MugiOoh! So instead of super heavy, it's the dangerously smooth type that vanishes fast!
Hop BroAnd it gets better, because they also have Ifu Dodo side by side for a fun comparison.
MugiEven the names sound intense! And seven domestic draft taps is a seriously stacked lineup, right?
Hop BroTotally. Kyoto Brewing, Daisen G Beer, Hideji's lemon session hazy, Bakuzakkoku Kobo, Mahou Brew... it runs from bitter to fruity.
MugiThis is not a casual weekday situation anymore. I want a glass of Hakuchu Dodo right now.
Hop BroSame here. In that calm space with food to match, tonight's tap update sounds like the perfect excuse.
MugiThen it's settled! Hop bro, lead the way, we're taking the straight to Meguro route for a tasting run!
