Hop BroJiyugaoka's Kokage Sakaba is boosting its summer lineup, and they just brought in Vatele Brewing's "Artemisia" and Shiga Kogen Beer's "Snow Monkey IPA" as guest beers.
MugiWhat! Those names go hard. Artemisia sounds like a wizard, and Snow Monkey IPA sounds like it trained on a mountain!
Hop BroThat's part of the fun. It's also a great pair for comparison, because the aroma and the shape of the bitterness feel really different between the two.
MugiHold on, the shape of bitterness? What is that? Since when does bitterness have cheekbones? Beer suddenly sounds like art criticism!
Hop BroIt kind of does. Different bitterness profiles just means one finishes clean while another lingers a bit. Fancy wording, simple idea: different personalities in the aftertaste.
MugiOhhh, got it. So Shiga Kogen Beer's "Snow Monkey IPA" is where you enjoy classic IPA bitterness, right?
Hop BroExactly. Snow Monkey IPA is all about hop aroma and bitterness, while Artemisia seems set to show a different aromatic side, so trying them in sequence should be a lot of fun.
MugiAnd Kokage Sakaba is walking distance from Jiyugaoka Station, right? That's dangerously convenient for a "just one drink" stop.
Hop BroThe place is easy to use, too. With daily specials and craft draft beer, you can build a whole night from the first pint to the last round, and they also stock sake and shochu.
MugiWhat is this place, a cheat code? And rooftop terrace BBQ reservations are open too? Beer and meat are basically already high-fiving.
Hop BroOn a summer night, that's almost unfair. Which is why the latest tap updates are worth following, because checking what's on that day is part of the fun at Kokage Sakaba.
MugiI'm sold. I want Artemisia and Snow Monkey IPA side by side tonight, so I can sip them and dramatically announce, "Ah, yes, the aftertaste!"
