MugiWait, a tap takeover sounds like some kind of special move! Does it mean the whole place turns into Northern Brew?
Hop BroPretty close. This time you can do a three-beer tasting, with Micro Hazy IPA, Full Throttle Energy Beer, and Mango Smoothie on the lineup.
MugiMicro, hazy, and IPA all at once? That's a lot to take in! A hazy IPA is the one that's kind of softly cloudy, right?
Hop BroExactly. It's soft in both appearance and flavor, and the hop aroma takes center stage. Because the hop profile comes through clearly, citrusy and tropical notes come out easily.
MugiWhoa! So does the next one, Full Throttle, suddenly give you energy when you drink it? The name is already full blast!
Hop BroIt sounds like it'll live up to the name. Energy beers are often designed to be bold and substantial, so it's one to take your time with.
MugiAnd then they follow it with mango? That's unfair! A Mango Smoothie sounds like the beer and dessert are having a meeting about which one it is!
Hop BroThat's what makes Northern Brew interesting. The range of flavors is wide, so you can enjoy everything from IPA styles to fruit-packed smoothie beers all in one go.
MugiAnd Kunowa is that kind of laid-back spot in Susukino, right? Standing and having a quick drink sounds nice too!
Hop BroExactly. It's on the 8th floor of Playtown Fujii, and the nice thing is you can drink while casually talking beer. It definitely makes you want to have a drink to match the Susukino night.
MugiIt's settled! I'll start with the hazy one, and Hop bro is going for all of them, right? A three-beer side-by-side tasting makes me want to go right now!
Hop BroOf course I'm going for all of them. A night of tasting side by side is when you can really see a brewery's personality.
