Hop BroMugisakeya Pogology in Tanimachi unveiled its tap list on the first day of Golden Week. There are 14 beers on it, and with a 3 p.m. opening, they're serious from the very start.
MugiWait, 14 kinds? That's way too many! They even have a monthly shumai special? This is beyond the scope of a beer bar!
Hop BroThis month they're switching to fried shumai with aosa butter, and it really hits the salty, ocean-like notes that go so well with beer. The taps also include Oni Densetsu, Minoh Beer x Mikkeller Tokyo, and Kyoto Brewing, so it's a pretty formidable lineup.
MugiWhoa! Just from the name, Shishigami Oni IPA sounds strong, but what does IPA actually taste like?
Hop BroIPA is a style where the hop aroma takes center stage, so it tends to have citrus notes and pronounced bitterness. It's the kind of beer where you enjoy the character of the aroma, like Shishigami Oni IPA and Golden Oni Pale Ale.
MugiOh, I see! So UME-CHU and Iyokan IPA might taste like plum and iyokan citrus? I'm really curious about the fruit-forward ones!
Hop BroExactly, it's a combination of fruit character and hop character. Beers like gogoshima beer farm's Iyokan IPA w/ Hanamoto Farm show off the character of the local produce, and with CAMA x NAMA NEW WORLD IPA, CODEBREAKER, and even Spring Lager in the mix, it's the kind of lineup that makes tasting comparisons impossible to stop.
MugiWait, there are two versions of Kind of Gold! What's different about the nitro version? Does it turn gold into even more gold?
Hop BroNitro creates a finer foam and gives it a smoother mouthfeel. If you compare DOGFISH HEAD x OXBOW x SHIGA KOGEN's Kind of Gold in the regular and nitro versions, it's interesting how the same beer can show a completely different face.
MugiThat definitely makes me want to do a tasting comparison in Tanimachi. If they have both Menjiro and the Pogojiro Set, you can have both beer and food, so today's the day to go!
