MugiWhoa, DRINK ME! already sounds intriguing! Is it the kind of thing that makes you shrink or grow after drinking it?
Hop BroThat's part of the fun. A Hazy IPA is an IPA with a cloudy appearance and hop aroma that spreads softly, so it tends to feel less bitter and more juicy.
MugiHuh! But that cloudy appearance doesn't that sound like something went wrong? I'd probably be like, "Is this okay?"
Hop BroActually, that's the point with hazies. They bring the hop aroma forward while making the mouthfeel smooth, and they keep the outline that makes an IPA an IPA, so it has body without feeling too heavy.
MugiI see! And TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa is a growler-fill specialty shop, right? If you can drink there on the spot, it sounds perfect for a quick stop on the way home!
Hop BroExactly. At the counter, you can fill a growler from a live keg, and you can also drink standing at the counter inside. In other words, it's a convenient place where you can drink, like it, and take it home.
MugiThat's ridiculously convenient! And 19 taps that change every day? It's like a treasure hunt for beer!
Hop BroTotally. And with more than 40 bottles too, there's a lot of fun in choosing based on your mood that day. It's the kind of place where you'll end up getting curious about another bottle while drinking the anniversary beer.
MugiAnd they even welcome solo guests? That's really easy to walk into! If pets and kids are okay too, it seems like all kinds of people could just drop by.
Hop BroExactly. There isn't any food service, but bringing your own food is allowed, so it's nice that you can enjoy it at your own pace. If someone says, "Let's have a glass of DRINK ME! in Shimokitazawa," then honestly, today's a day to go out drinking.
