Two Fingers Opens Revision's DIPA, with WCB and Bellwoods Also on the Tap List
The beer pub Two Fingers in Nishi-Ikebukuro, Tokyo, has Revision Brewing's DIPA on tap. In the post, Nao also shared her fondness for Rasputin and this DIPA as candidates for a "last supper beer," while guiding readers through a wide lineup ranging from Two Fingers' house beers to overseas labels.
Hop BroRight, it really is a DIPA opening at Two Fingers in Ikebukuro for Revision Brewing. And if Nao ranks it alongside Rasputin as a "last supper beer," that means it's a serious favorite.
MugiWhat! If it makes the last supper list, just how much do they love it? The phrase last supper beer alone is already powerful!
Hop BroThe flavor focus here is classic bitterness and grapefruit notes. It pushes the hops forward like a proper DIPA, but it's not overly flashy and is the kind of beer you won't get tired of.
MugiSo a DIPA is even stronger than an IPA? The hop pressure sounds intense, so I'd be a little nervous!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's the elder sibling of IPA, with alcohol and hop character pushed harder. That's why it has more drinking heft, and both aroma and bitterness come through clearly.
MugiWow! And Two Fingers has such well-stocked house beers too. Highway to Helles and the like - even the names make me like the place's personality!
Hop BroOn top of that, they have Garage, Hop Gasoline, and even Biaded Barbet from Inkhorn x Titans x Tokyo Aleworks, so the range inside the bar is really broad. The fact that they line up everything from lighter pours to more aggressive beers is strong.
MugiWhat is that, a total traffic jam of a tap list! The breadth of the lineup makes it fun before you even choose anything!
Hop BroAnd it doesn't stop there - they also have Starwatcher from West Coast Brewing, Grisette and Brettal Head from Bellwoods Brewery, and even Bomb! from Prairie Artisan Ales. It's clever how they center American breweries while mixing in Japanese and Canadian ones too.
MugiIt's unfair how strong the backup list is! This might be what a beer comparison paradise looks like. Super Fresh and Cornucopia alone make me excited!
Hop BroExactly. And when you even have Farow x Sailor's Grave's Shiso Lemon Gose, it feels like the whole lineup is planned with palate resets in mind. For a relaxed beer crawl in Ikebukuro, this is a pretty ideal selection.
MugiAlright, today I'm going to start with the DIPA at Two Fingers! But now I'm already imagining ending with the Grisette, and that alone makes me want to go out for drinks!
