Hop BroToday's tap update in Shimokitazawa is hot. At Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa, DDC's “Sentinel” has just been tapped.
MugiWhoa! Sentinel already sounds strong! Being able to drink that in Shimokitazawa feels like a bit of an event, doesn't it?
Hop BroAnd the lineup is wide, which is great. The domestic taps include Y Market, Shiga Kogen, Setouchi, and Forest.
MugiHuh? Fresh Hop Grisette? What is that, a spell? Is a grisette a kind of drink?
Hop BroA grisette is a light, refreshing style. Using fresh hops with it brings out a green aroma like something just cut.
MugiI see! Then Cherry & Strawberry is the sweet kind, right? That sounds like dessert, and I'm hyped!
Hop BroExactly. There are fruit-forward options, IPAs, and dark beers too. For example, there are beers that go all in on haze and juiciness, like Double Hazy Jane.
MugiSo haze makes that much of a difference! Hearing a bitterness that snaps in late sounds like it sneaks up from behind, which is kind of fun!
Hop BroThat description is pretty accurate. DDC's “Sentinel” starts with hop aroma and malt sweetness, then finishes with bitterness at the end.
MugiWhoa, this sounds like it has so much fun in a side-by-side tasting! It's the kind of place that makes you want to try multiple pints in Shimokitazawa.
Hop BroPlus, Saturdays have last call at 4 a.m., and through 5/5 they're keeping the same hours, so you can take your time. It's ideal for settling in at Shimokitazawa and really going after the draft beers.
MugiI can't help it, just reading this makes me want to cheers right now! First Sentinel, then the fruit-forward ones!
