Hop BroWant a Beer in Motoimaizumi, Utsunomiya, is going all out for April 26 only. With six beers on tap and spring-style food to match, this is exactly the kind of lineup that makes for a great article.
MugiWait, a six-beer tap list? That’s a lot! And it sounds like the food is just as strong as the beer, so now I’m already hungry!
Hop BroThe first big highlight is Full Throttle / Hop Kotan. It’s an American IPA at ABV 6.0%, and it hits with hoppy bitterness before finishing with a tropical afterglow. Exactly the kind of thing IPA fans love.
MugiHoppy? What does that even mean? I get that it means a lot of hops, but how does that actually change the taste?
Hop BroRight, it basically means the hop-derived aroma and bitterness come to the front. And the next one, Heaven's Age, is a collaboration between Black Tide Brewing and Teenage Brewing. As a Milky Hazy IPA, it has a milky mouthfeel, fruity notes, and a solid bitterness on top.
MugiMilky but bitter? That contrast is just making me want to drink it and find out!
Hop BroThen MASTER HEIR from Barbaric WORKS is an American Double IPA at ABV 8.0%. Mosaic hops give it peach, berry, and tropical aromas that really come through. This is one you want to take your time with.
Mugi8.0% is pretty strong! But just hearing Mosaic hops makes it sound stylish, and now I’m curious about the fruity aroma too!
Hop BroFrom there, the Romantic Village collaboration is really interesting. Flesh!!! is a Fruits Sour Ale made with juice from five hand-squeezed citrus fruits, while SPECIALS is a Belgian White using citrus peels. Even though both are for the 5th anniversary, they go in totally different directions, and that’s the best part.
MugiA fruit sour and a Belgian white? It’s suddenly a full-on tasting showdown. Pair that with the spring menu and the sakura shrimp zeppoline, and it’s guaranteed to be a great time!
Hop BroTo finish, there’s Moonwalk. It’s a Want a Beer collaboration with THE KICHI, a West Coast Pilsner with bright citrus character and a crisp bitterness that should go really well with spring snacks like firefly squid fritters.
MugiThis is impossible, everything sounds delicious! Being able to build a proper flow from the first glass to the last is the best, and now I really want to go to Want a Beer right away!
