Hop BroBeer O'clock in Chiba's Fujimi district has tapped two striking opposites. A dark beer and IPA showdown makes for a great tasting flight.
MugiWait, a dark beer and a bitter IPA together? Won't that be a traffic jam for taste buds?
Hop BroFirst is Harvestmoon Schwarz. “Schwarz” means black in German, but it is a highly drinkable dark beer at 5.0% ABV.
MugiI picture dark beer as rich, heavy, and instantly making me look serious. Is it lighter than it looks?
Hop BroExactly. It has roasted-malt aroma, with balanced bitterness and sweetness. Roasted malt means malt that has been toasted, like coffee beans.
MugiSo that is where the toasty character comes from! It sounds like a perfect dark-beer introduction.
Hop BroThen there is Yorocco YEXIT, a 6.5% West Coast IPA using Amarillo, Citra, Mosaic, and Nelson Sauvin. Its highlight is a crisp, firm bitterness.
MugiThose hop names sound like a four-piece band! Does West Coast IPA mean it tastes like ocean spray?
Hop BroNo seawater involved, thankfully. It layers hop flavor over a clean body, then finishes bitter: a clear and aromatic IPA.
MugiPhew, I nearly started planning my salt intake! Schwarz's toastiness and YEXIT's snap are made for alternating sips.
Hop BroThere is also LONG GOOD Craft GinTonic GREEN TEA + JASMINE and four Oregon ciders. At Beer O'clock, the choices stay lively.
MugiAfter a walk around Chiba Station, let's head straight to Beer O'clock! Check the latest taps, then make it a two-beer tasting night!
