Two Fingers: Route + Branch's "Propeller" Nearly Gone, Fidens Next Up
The beer pub Two Fingers in Nishi-Ikebukuro, Tokyo, released its April 11 tap list. Route + Branch's "Propeller" is down to the last few, with three Fidens Hazy beers waiting in the wings. Inside, guests can enjoy a varied nine-tap lineup that includes house brews.
Hop BroJust hearing that Propeller is down to the last few at Two Fingers in Ikebukuro already makes me restless. The Route + Branch beer is in its final stretch, and having Fidens Hazy beers waiting next is pretty exciting.
MugiWait, down to the last few? That urgent!? I haven't even had it yet and it's already almost gone? That's like, hold on a second!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, this place has nine taps centered on house brews. I like how the lineup clearly shows the shop's personality, with beers like Highway to Helles, Garage, and Hop Gasoline.
MugiNine taps means a swamp of choices, right? And the names are already strong, so now I want to drink them all...
Hop BroAnd the star of the show this time is, of course, Route + Branch's Propeller. It has a lifted aroma, a nice balance of fruitiness and drinkability, and it's the kind of beer that makes you want another pint.
MugiFruitier sounds easy to drink, but what does Hazy IPA context even mean? Suddenly a wave of technical jargon just hit me!
Hop BroIn short, it means a cloudy IPA. It's juicy, with hop aroma that comes forward, and Fidens' Alstroemeria, Free From Doubt, and QDH Jasper have strong expectations there.
MugiI get it! So the Fidens waiting line after Propeller sounds really exciting. They already sound delicious just from the names, and the aroma must be amazing!
Hop BroAnd because Two Fingers is a small place in Nishi-Ikebukuro, the density of nine carefully selected taps is great. Even with lagers and stouts on the board, Hazy fans are especially restless right now.
MugiAnd if there's a park nearby, that's basically takeout beer weather! Walking around with a beer on a sunny Saturday feels like a reward all by itself!
Hop BroExactly, today the right move is to go after that one pour you can only get right now at Two Fingers. Whether you chase the last sip of Propeller or wait for Fidens Hazy, either way it makes you want to go out for a drink.
MugiYeah, now I completely want a drink! I want to go have a beer in Ikebukuro right now!
