Hop BroGROW BREW HOUSE in Nishikawaguchi just posted a lineup with six house-brewed beers, and it looks strong.
MugiWait, six beers at once? And it's walkable from the station? That is dangerously convenient!
Hop BroThe headliner is R122, a West Coast IPA. It's 8.5%, with hops pushed right to the front in aroma and bitterness.
MugiWhoa, West Coast IPA already sounds intense... is that the kind of beer that hijacks your whole tongue?
Hop BroAlmost. Big hop presence just means bright citrusy aroma and a clean, firm bitterness you can clearly notice.
MugiOhhh! Then if I wanted something lighter, Yukiai the pils already sounds friendly.
Hop BroExactly, and there's serious range too. POTTERING is a Saison, Yukiai is a Dry Hopd Pils, 17AVE is an American Rye Ale, IronGate is a Scottish 80/-, and Aid is a Fruits Ale.
MugiWhat is that even supposed to mean, rye-driven spice? This is beer, not a bakery with a side quest!
Hop BroFair point. In 17AVE, peppery rye notes show up softly, which makes it easy to pair with food.
MugiAnd with 3% pours like IronGate and Aid, this place is basically a tasting-flight paradise!
Hop BroThey've also got somen in September, Izakaya Grow dates, and a public brew day, so that close brewer connection makes me want to drink through the whole list.
MugiI'm sold. I want to start with R122 and work down, then finish with Aid while slurping somen!
