Hop BroKitazawa Konishi in Shimokitazawa has put out guest beers for May 4. Just from the names lined up in the post, you can already feel the playfulness in full force.
MugiWhoa! The names are already too strong! OBI WINE KENO BULLE sounds more like a movie trailer than a beer!
Hop BroExactly. It's a bottle from Domaine Geschickt, and it's fun from the name alone while also making you curious about what's inside. That kind of mix of wordplay and flavor individuality gets you excited before you even drink it.
MugiI see! But when beer descriptions talk about a distinctive flavor, what does that actually mean?
Hop BroThat's an important point. "Distinctive" can mean, for example, strong aromas or noticeable acidity, basically that the range of flavor is bigger than a normal lager.
MugiGot it! So the next one, EPISODE V AMAKUSA STRIKES BACK, isn't just a joke title either, the contents are the real star!
Hop BroExactly. This one from Amakusa Sonar Beer has a series-like feel, just like the title says, and the way it makes you want to know what comes next is clever.
MugiWow, and there's even FEEL THE 4TH!? And it's a porter too, which suddenly feels classy and cool!
Hop BroRight. This one from Namacha Brewing is a porter made in collaboration with a coffee shop in Itabashi, using roasted coffee beans. Porters are dark and rich, so they pair really well with coffee aroma.
MugiI want to drink that! And Kitazawa Konishi has a drink-it-on-site kakuuchi style, right? That's unfair, being able to buy it and drink it right away is the best!
Hop BroThey're open from 2 p.m. on weekdays, until 11 p.m. on Fridays, and from noon on Saturdays, so if you're heading to Shimokitazawa around May 4, going after these three limited bottles is the right move.
MugiI can't take it anymore, just reading this made my throat dry! I want to go have a drink in Shimokitazawa and enjoy both the names and the flavors all at once!
