Hop BroToday is about two kegs tapped. At Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo, Monkish's "LA Love" and Oni Densetsu's "Kinki Pale Ale" came together on May 3.
MugiWait! Being able to drink Monkish and Oni Densetsu on the same day is kind of too luxurious, isn't it?
Hop BroFirst, "LA Love" is a Hazy Double IPA at 8.1%. It's the kind of beer for people who want to be drenched in hop aroma and enjoy it slowly.
MugiHuh! Why is hazy beer so cloudy?
Hop BroSimply put, it's because it's brewed to hold onto aromatic compounds. On top of IPA bitterness, it's also easier to bring out juicy fruit-like notes and a smooth, thick mouthfeel.
MugiI see! So "Kinki Pale Ale" is more about drinkability?
Hop BroExactly. Oni Densetsu's "Kinki Pale Ale" has a great balance of aroma and lightness. It's good as a first pint, and it's also great for leading into the next one.
MugiWhoa, they're total opposites! That's going to widen the tasting comparison a ton!
Hop BroThat's the fun part, and Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo also does food really well, like rotisserie chicken. Having bites of food between beers really helps you appreciate what rotating taps have to offer.
MugiAnd it opens at 12:00 on May 3, right? Being able to drink from lunchtime is pretty nice.
Hop BroExactly, and it's closed the next day, May 4, so keep that in mind. The right move is to stop by during the holiday afternoon and work your way from the hop-forward LA Love to the easy-drinking Kinki.
MugiAlright, I'm making a daytime beer plan today! I want to enjoy both kegs with some good food too!
