Hop BroToday's topic is Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand. On August 16, they're open in Honkomagome from 3 to 10 p.m. with eight house-brewed beers on tap.
MugiWhat! Eight house-brewed taps? That's not a bar, that's a full-on festival! Can you really compare that many in one stop?
Hop BroYou can. The lineup runs from crisp to dark, with Little Thing as a Dry Hopped Session Ale, Komagome Best Bitter, and Kurotobi #4 as a Belgian Stout.
MugiHold on, Dry Hopped Session Ale sounds like a magic spell! What am I supposed to picture?
Hop BroThink big aroma, easy drinking. Dry hopping adds aroma after the main boil, and a session ale stays light at 4.5%, so Little Thing is the kind you can keep sipping.
MugiWhoa! Then what about Saburo Hazy and Pineapple Gose? What even is gose? It sounds like a secret boss battle.
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It's a tart-and-salty style, and this one adds pineapple. Saburo Hazy is a juicy Hazy IPA, Ryusui Soso #2 is an Italian Pilsner, Mashup IPA Ekuanot is a Belgian IPA, and Rolling Lolly is an American IPA, so every beer points in a different direction.
MugiThat sounds like a personality test by drinking order. And they're making black olive tapenade with a whole kilo of olives? The snack game is way too serious.
Hop BroExactly. The charm is that simple standing-bar vibe. They focus on house brews and Japanese craft beer, so it's the perfect place to settle in and compare pours at the counter.
MugiI can already see it. I want to warm up with Little Thing and finish with Kurotobi #4. Meet me in Komagome at three.
Hop BroDone. I'm starting with Saburo Hazy first, taking a tapenade break in the middle, and finishing on Kurotobi #4. This article alone is making me thirsty.
