Hop BroBEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisin-do's July 28 tap update is seriously stacked. In Ibaraki, Osaka, it's the kind of lineup that makes you want to pick your first pint before you even sit down.
MugiWait, which beer is the headliner? Tap lists are exciting, but once the names pile up my eyes start doing figure eights!
Hop BroThe big one is Isekadoya Brewery's Honkaku IPA : US IPA. It's a revived beer for their 25th anniversary, with that flagship-level bitterness and aroma people remember.
MugiWhoa, but what does revived mean? And when you say US IPA, my brain suddenly thinks I'm being quizzed!
Hop BroIt means they brought back a past favorite as a 25th anniversary revival. US IPA usually leans into citrusy American hop aroma and a crisp bitterness, so the short version is 'bright and bitter in a good way.'
MugiGot it! Then Bearen's Ihatov no Umi sounds like a book title, but is a Salty Lager actually... salty?
Hop BroJust a touch of salinity gives Salty Lager a clean outline. And Minoh Beer x BREWSKI's Vit Natt IPA is a HazyIPA, meaning it's dry-hopped and juicy-smelling with that cloudy look.
MugiHold on, what is dry hopping? It sounds like you're seasoning dinner from way too high above the pot!
Hop BroIt's when brewers add hops after fermentation to boost aroma later. That's why a HazyIPA like Vit Natt IPA can feel juicy and approachable instead of just bitter.
MugiOkay, I could do that! And there are two pilsners too, right? Draft Pilsner Urquell and SORACHI 1984 in the same lineup is a beautiful kind of decision paralysis!
Hop BroExactly, and the current taps also include Iwatekura Beer's Japanese Herb Ale Sansho, while comin' soon has Kaoru Ale, Peach Weizen, KOMPAS, and an amber lager, so the style range is huge. Pair that with eisbein, a mackerel sandwich, or house-made oil sardines and the second round is basically guaranteed.
MugiWith music, food, and all that beer, I want to go now! Let's beat the 10:00 p.m. last drink call, I'll get the Vit Natt IPA with pizza, and you grab Honkaku IPA with the mackerel sandwich!
