MugiWait, 40 taps? That's practically a beer theme park! With that many, I'm definitely going to get so happy I'll lose my way!
Hop BroAnd what's really amazing is that it's a 39-tap + 1 beer lineup. Add one collaboration beer, and you can taste all of U.B.P BREWERY's character in one go.
MugiWhat is that, you get that excited over just one collaboration beer? But I'm curious about the name. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThis time's highlight is 'OWN GOAL IPA,' an American IPA. It's 7.5% ABV with IBU 100, so it has a solid bitterness while also keeping body through malt sweetness.
MugiIBU 100? So that means bitterness at full throttle!? Just seeing that number makes my mouth pucker, but I kind of want to try it...!
Hop BroExactly. The appeal is its clearly defined, satisfying finish. It has a strong hop presence like a proper IPA, but because the sweetness supports it, it doesn't end up being only bitter.
MugiI get that the hops are strong, but does the malt sweetness really make that much of a difference? It's kind of like a younger coworker gently supporting a tough senior, and that's so precious...!
Hop BroExactly. Balance in the mouthfeel is what matters. If it's only bitterness, it goes too far; with sweetness, you can take your time and really engage with the first glass.
MugiAnd IBREW Akihabara Ekimae is open continuously from 13:00 to 23:00! It sounds fun to compare beers from midday and then go back at night to find a different side of them!
Hop BroOn the day of the event, Wani-san will be there on April 4 and MARU-chan on the 5th, and there'll even be DJs and a rock-paper-scissors tournament. There are just too many reasons to drink.
MugiIt's settled then, this is a must-see for IPA fans! If we look over the 39 taps and finish with OWN GOAL IPA, we're definitely going to have great smiles on our faces!
Hop BroThat's right. It's a two-day event that gets you excited before you even start drinking, and makes you want to toast in Akihabara. Let's enjoy U.B.P BREWERY's taps to the fullest.
