Hop BroAt KARAKURI in Kanda, 1t IPA has been tapped. On Friday, March 27, they open at 5:00 p.m., so this is definitely a post-work detour kind of thing.
MugiWait, 1t IPA sounds heavy! A ton? Does this beer come with a workout component or something?
Hop BroWell, it's a triple IPA made with a ton of malt. It's a serious beer, very much in Shiga Kogen Beer's style.
MugiTriple? That doesn't mean the alcohol is three times higher, right? It suddenly sounds like some kind of superior version of IPA and I'm scared!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's a style with strong hops and malt. The aroma and bitterness are both intense, making it the kind of beer that puts its drinkability front and center.
MugiWhoa, just hearing that makes my mouth pucker! And what does citrus nuance even smell like? I'm curious!
Hop BroThe post described it as centered on orange, with layers of grapefruit-like aroma and a hint of hassaku. It has that old-school West Coast IPA feel in a big way.
MugiHassaku too!? At this point we're talking like we're in the fruit section even though it's beer!
Hop BroThat's the fun part: the aroma is bright, but the finish is properly bitter. It's perfect for a day when you want to enjoy pronounced bitterness.
MugiAnd KARAKURI has oden and sake too, right? But today feels completely like a beer day, so I'm torn!
Hop BroThey're open from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., food until 10:00 p.m., so it's easy to drop by. Today is a tapping that makes you want to drink. All right, let's grab a pint in Kanda after work.
MugiLet's go! Today is settled with Shiga Kogen's pint!
