The brewery-adjacent brewpub Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome will be open from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 24. Inside, 10 taps with distinct personalities will be lined up, centered on house beer and including Kveik Pale Ale, West Coast IPA, and Hazy IPA.
Hop BroThe brewery-attached brewpub Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome is opening on Sunday, May 24, from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. This is a day craft beer fans will really want to pay attention to.
MugiWhat, a 10-tap lineup!? With that many on the board, our stomachs are going to be lost on where to start!
Hop BroFirst up is the Pepepepepe Kveik Pale Ale. Kveik is a Norwegian yeast, it's highly heat-tolerant and ferments vigorously. What's interesting is how the aroma tends to pop.
MugiW-what is this Kveik yeast? The name alone sounds intense! Is it fermenting while saying 'pe-pe-pe-pe'?
Hop BroIt doesn't actually chirp, but the energy is pretty close. And there's also the Seiten Raimei #2 / West Coast IPA, so it's the kind that gets you switched on with hop bitterness and crispness.
MugiWhoa, they even have a Hazy IPA!? And it's called EL BAMP HAZY, which already sounds like it's going to be all misty!
Hop BroWhat's more, this time they've got Yunosu Saison / Yuzu Sour Saison, Komagome Brown / Brown Saison, Komagome Best Bitter / English Best Bitter, and Black Chicken #4 / Belgian Stout too. The broad range of styles makes this lineup feel especially satisfying.
MugiWait, saison, brown, bitter, and stout? It's like a flavor roller coaster! I'm already busy before I even start drinking!
Hop BroThe interior is mostly counter seating and standing room, so it's also great for dropping in for a casual drink. And since the food is basically dagashi snacks and a few nibbles, it's an environment where you can really focus on the beer.
MugiCraft beer with dagashi is the best kind of relaxed vibe! And the fact that it's Japanese craft beer only makes it feel like a serious showdown.
Hop BroAnd on top of that, they're also setting up at Chitobeer in the plaza in front of Chitose-Funabashi Station, and there's even a new beer release planned for next week. You can enjoy the flow of drinking in the shop and then looking forward to the next release.
MugiWow, having that excitement of waiting for a new release too is unfair! I want to have a drink in Komagome, then keep hyping up the next beer!
Hop BroExactly, the strength of this place is that you can taste the atmosphere of the brewery along with it. Today, just thinking about which tap to start with is enough to make my throat dry.
MugiThen the conclusion is, let's go beer tasting in Komagome! I'll start with the Hazy, then the Belgian stout, and at the end I want to go back to the beginning again!
