Hop BroTaki in Shibuya is throwing a 15th anniversary event today. For Sunday, August 23, they've got three taps that are worth talking about.
MugiWhat! A full-on beer celebration in Shibuya? What kind of place is Taki anyway?
Hop BroIt's a beer pub on the 3rd floor in Sakuragaoka, branded as Japanese Beer & Sake Dining. They do craft beer and sake, and they've just opened fresh kegs today.
MugiOooh, a newly opened keg already sounds exciting! So which one is today's headline beer?
Hop BroThe star is Matsue Beer Hearn's Weizen. It's brewed only with German ingredients, with a banana-like aroma, fine foam, and a profile that works really well with Japanese food.
MugiHold on, Weizen and IBU already sound like wizard spells to me. Just tell me if it tastes good first!
Hop BroFair question. Weizen means a soft wheat beer, and IBU 8 means the bitterness stays pretty low. At 6.0% ABV, it still has a solid body.
MugiOkay, that helps! If it's not too bitter and has a banana-like aroma, it suddenly sounds dangerously easy to love.
Hop BroAnd the lineup gets better, because you can do a three-beer comparison today. They've also got HIGHBURY × BAEREN's LEMENBRAU and T.Y.Harbor Brewery's Sansho Jasmine.
MugiThose names have serious swagger. Sansho Jasmine sounds less like a beer and more like a very elegant tea ceremony!
Hop BroThey're open from 16:00 to 24:00, with food last order at 23:00 and drinks at 23:30. With a lineup like this for the anniversary, my first pour is decided already. I'm starting with the Weizen.
MugiThat's it, we're going. I want to get pulled into that third-floor Shibuya stop and work through Weizen, LEMENBRAU, and Sansho Jasmine one by one!
