New GOOD HOPS arrivals at Nomimonoya, featuring four beers from Tono hops
Nomimonoya in Busshozan-cho, Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, has received a new shipment from GOOD HOPS. This time, the lineup includes one lager and three IPAs, for a total of four labels, offering a broad range of flavors from the character of Tono-grown hops to a collaboration brew using Belgian yeast.
Hop BroThere's a new arrival at Nomimonoya in Takamatsu's Busshozan. GOOD HOPS brought in four labels. One lager and three IPAs, so it's a pretty exciting lineup for hop fans.
MugiWow! One lager and three IPAs is basically a hop festival. And Nomimonoya has that much beer!?
Hop BroIt does. It's a liquor store and cafe with more than 600 kinds in stock. The quiet interior, renovated from an old house, makes it great for taking your time and choosing something.
MugiTaking your time sounds nice. But The Classic Hops sounds almost too serious, doesn't it?
Hop BroThat's what makes it good. It's a lager made with three traditional hop varieties. They combine Tono-grown Saaz with German Hallertau Mittelfrueh and Hersbrucker, creating a light, easy-drinking finish with a soft sweet aroma and gentle bitterness.
MugiWait, Saaz and Hallertau sound like magic spells all of a sudden!
Hop BroThose are hop varieties. Roughly speaking, they're different characters of aroma. And Tono no Kaze is a 100% Tono-hop IPA, with a crisp, fruity aroma that opens up like green apple and pear.
Mugi100% Tono-grown is amazing! A green apple and pear aroma makes it sound less like beer and more like the produce section!
Hop BroWhat's even more interesting is Tono Belgian IPA. It's a collaboration brew by GOOD HOPS and Kamakura Yukinoshita Beer Brewery, so the fruity character of Belgian yeast layers with IBUKI's herbal notes, making the aroma really fun to explore.
MugiJust the fact that it's a collaboration is exciting, and then you add the fruity character of Belgian yeast? That's unfair! I'm curious about the final Do Good too, so I guess we really have to go drink this right now.
Hop BroExactly. Do Good's first-anniversary IPA aims for layered aroma and clean bitterness, and tasting them side by side really shows where GOOD HOPS is right now. If we take our time with one glass after another in Busshozan, I bet both of us will end up wanting to order another by the time we leave.
MugiThat's definitely dangerous! If we compare them one by one, we'll probably end up saying, 'Just one more.'
