Hop BroBeer Pub Neko to Azarashi near Mitaka Station is pouring 10 taps centered on domestic breweries on Tuesday, March 24, from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. It is a very appealing lineup for a casual spring-night stop.
MugiWait, 10 taps is a lot! That is the kind of problem where you are happy, but also do not know what to drink first!
Hop BroThat is the fun part. From more standard choices like Yokohama Bay Brewing’s Bay Dark and Mojiko Beer’s Pilsner to distinctive picks like Minami Aizu Mountain Brewing’s OLLIE Sour IPA, you can do a really wide-ranging tasting comparison.
MugiA sour IPA? What even is that! IPA and sour? Just hearing sour IPA makes my brain feel a little punked out!
Hop BroIn short, it is a style where IPA hop character meets acidity. The hop aroma hits first, then a crisp sourness lingers in the finish, so the personalities of acidity and aroma stand out and it is hard to get tired of drinking it.
MugiI see! And Minoh Beer’s Hoppy Weizen, CYCAD BREWING’s Buzz Honey American Wheat, even the names alone are exciting! I am really curious about the wheat-driven personality too!
Hop BroExactly. Weizen has a soft character from the wheat, and when hops are layered on top, the aroma opens up beautifully. And since the post says Hoppy Weizen is running low, the earlier the better for that one.
MugiWhoa, so it is popular! Then I have to hurry... but food before beer matters too! Aka-ten and char siu already sound like a guaranteed win!
Hop BroGood catch. The toasty character of Aka-ten and the savory richness of Chinese-style char siu work with the crispness of lager and the bitterness of IPA alike. In other words, they have thought about food pairing, so it is easy to build out the night from the first glass to the last.
MugiIf it is walkable from Mitaka Station, stopping by after work is totally an option! I might go in planning to keep it light, then suddenly end up on a tasting tour... that is the weeknight treat kind of feeling!
Hop BroExactly. With Shiga Kogen Beer’s Pale Ale and Ooyama G Beer’s Wheat Wine 2023 also on the list, it is a night with plenty to dig into. All right, let’s go compare beers in Mitaka.
MugiI’m in, I’m in! Ten taps and a lineup centered on domestic breweries sounds amazing. I want to grab a glass right now and go look for my spring beer!
