Hop BroThere's news that Gorilla Panic has been tapped at Craft Beer Bistro Craftsman in Gotanda. It's a collaboration with Gorilla Brewing in Busan, South Korea, and the name alone already sounds wild.
MugiWhoa, Gorilla Panic!? The second I heard that, I thought it might be a beer you drink while lifting weights. What is that, anyway? Now I'm curious!
Hop BroThe style is Hazy Double IPA. In other words, it's one of those with hazy juiciness and a solid hit of hops, with plenty of drinking heft.
MugiHuh! But what's a DDH Hazy IPA? Is that some kind of spell? Why does double hopping make it so over-the-top?
Hop BroPut simply, it's brewed to put the presence of hops front and center. DDH usually means dry hopping twice, which boosts aroma and lets the hazy fruitiness come through.
MugiI see, so it's boosting the aroma! Then saying it's "a beer you won't forget once you've had it" isn't just exaggeration. That's the kind of thing that sticks in your memory like a gorilla's grip!
Hop BroAnd since Craftsman is a beer pub that makes it easy to pair beer with food, it's great that you can enjoy a rich hazy like this alongside dishes. That bistro-style setup is a real strength.
MugiBeing able to drink near Gotanda Station is a huge help! Weekdays from 5:00 p.m. sounds perfect for after work, and weekends and holidays from 3:00 p.m. is basically an open invitation to day drinking!
Hop BroExactly, and the fact that it's a collaboration with Busan, South Korea makes it even more interesting. For craft beer fans, being able to enjoy that connection with an overseas brewery at a Japanese beer pub is hard to resist.
MugiAll right, today I want to go look for a new hazy in Gotanda! Faced with Gorilla Panic, I can only imagine myself smiling and raising a glass, not panicking at all!
