Two Fingers, a beer pub in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, has revealed the lineup for its tap takeover featuring U.S. Little House Brewing. In addition to 10 taps on draft, backup kegs are also prepared, so visitors can enjoy a wide range of beers making their first appearance in Japan.
Hop BroAt Two Fingers in Ikebukuro, U.S. Little House Brewing's first Japan-debut tap is coming. With 10 taps on draft plus backup kegs, the place is going to be pretty lively.
MugiWhat! 10 taps on draft? So we can compare that many beers all at once? Just looking at the menu is making my head spin!
Hop BroLittle House Brewing is a microbrewery that brews in a building with about 200 years of history, and it does more than hazy IPAs, too. It also makes great kölsch and stout. Clean, high-quality finish is its strength.
MugiOhhh! But hazy IPAs sound so fluffy by name, so why are they so popular?
Hop BroSimply put, they bring out the malt sweetness and tropical hop character while softening the bitterness. In this lineup, something like Rare Candy makes that vibe easy to understand.
MugiThat sounds great! Then I might be interested in a kölsch comparison. Sleepy Bee and Busy Bee sound like a fun way to tell the difference even within the same style!
Hop BroExactly, and Two Fingers' side is heated up too. With collabs like Hop Gasoline, plus Highway to Helles and Witcher's Smoothie, the range is huge.
MugiWow, even the names sound intense! A Smoothie Sour is basically dessert wearing a beer disguise, isn't it?
Hop BroThat's exactly right. On top of that, backup beers like AI Slop and QDH Jasper are waiting in the wings, and with a two-day rock-paper-scissors tournament too, this will be more than just a drinking event.
MugiNow I really want to go! If I can do a beer comparison in Ikebukuro West Exit, I feel like I'd cancel all my plans and head there today!
