Hop BroAt Craft Beer Tavern Citra Bar Nakano in Nakano, Whole New World has been newly tapped. It’s a collaboration between NOMCRAFT Brewing and MAHOW BREW, so this is a pretty interesting one.
MugiWhoa! A jasmine IPA? That already sounds super aromatic! Is it like a beer with a floral feel?
Hop BroExactly. They’re using sanpin tea here. It’s Okinawan jasmine tea, so the hop aroma and the tea’s floral character should layer together and spread in a soft, elegant way.
MugiYou say elegant, but isn’t IPA usually more of a punch-you-in-the-face style? I’m already bracing for a storm of bitterness in my mouth!
Hop BroIt still has the shape of an IPA, of course, but this one seems to put its aromatic character front and center. I think it’s the kind that doesn’t just push bitterness, but lets the jasmine tea finish carry the drink.
MugiOhhh! So it’s the kind that surprises you on the first sip and makes you grin on the second! A beer that makes you want to compare different pours is exactly this kind of thing.
Hop BroAnd since it opens at 2:00 p.m. on holidays, it’s great that you can take your time from the afternoon. Being able to drink early in the Nakano Station area is a big help for beer lovers.
MugiThat’s amazing! If they’re saying there are still seats available, then there’s basically no reason not to go. Day drinking is justice!
Hop BroThe address is 5-49-7 Nakano, 1F of Taniguchi Building. It’s a convenient location for starting your first drink around the station, so dropping by for the collaboration IPA is definitely an option.
MugiAlright, decision made. Today I want to toast with the collaboration IPA! Just imagining the jasmine aroma already has my throat calling for beer~!
