Hop BroIkebukuro East is dangerous today, because Center of the Universe just went on tap at Beer Pub Camden Ikebukuro East.
MugiWait, daytime IPA in Ikebukuro? If it's one minute from the east exit, my feet are already making plans!
Hop BroAnd this is Shiga Kogen Beer's IPA 2.03, built with US and EU hops plus their own homegrown Cascade, so the recipe is seriously dialed in.
MugiHold on, homegrown Cascade sounds like a wrestling move. What is it?
Hop BroCascade is a hop variety that leans citrusy. When they add hops they grew themselves, citrus and lime notes come through in a softer, fresher way.
MugiOhhh, so it isn't just bitter, it also has just-right fruitiness? That sounds way less scary for IPA beginners like me.
Hop BroExactly, and the key phrase here is clean hop definition. The aroma and bitterness stay sharp instead of getting muddy, so it drinks really crisp.
MugiDefinition? Does the beer have cheekbones now? I'm picturing an IPA posing for a magazine cover!
Hop BroNot a face, just clearer flavor lines. And Camden has 40-plus taps with the lineup changing weekly, so there's always something new to chase.
MugiAnd weekends and holidays mean open from noon, right? Add a burger or fish and chips and I'm fully prepared to make excellent decisions.
Hop BroThat's the move. One minute from the station, easy counter seating, and refreshing firm bitterness that should pair perfectly with the food.
MugiThen it's settled. My brain is already toasting in Ikebukuro. With a name like Center of the Universe, I absolutely need that first sip.
