Hop BroYokohama's Sakuragicho-based BAMBOO 4 updated its tap list for April 20. Today, THE BLISS BREWERY's "Instinct" and Hinomoto Brewing's "Komagome Best Bitter" are on the lineup, making it a really fun pair to compare.
MugiWait, what do you mean by two beers that are fun to compare? And craft beer with Mexican food sounds like both your stomach and your mood are going to be busy!
Hop BroFirst up, "Instinct" is a West Coast IPA at ABV 6.5%. It is a pretty classic beer, with piney, resinous aromas and bitterness like grapefruit peel layered on top.
MugiPiney? Resinous? Grapefruit peel? So is that like a forest fighting with fruit?
Hop BroGood reaction. In other words, it brings forward pine-like aromas and citrus bitterness. And because it leaves no extra sweetness behind, the bitterness draws a clear outline, making it really easy to choose as your first beer.
MugiI see! Then I might want to drink that before the tacos. And the other one, Komagome Best Bitter, already sounds pretty calm from the name alone!
Hop BroExactly. Hinomoto Brewing's version is an English Best Bitter at ABV 4.5%. It has a gentle toastiness and honey-like nuances, and the restrained flavor of Fuggle hops comes through steadily.
MugiFuggle hops! That suddenly feels like the appearance of a seasoned veteran from the hop world!
Hop BroThat's exactly the vibe. It does not go wild or flashy; with soft carbonation and lower alcohol, it is easy to sip slowly, which is one of its strengths. It is the kind of beer you take your time with over a meal.
MugiIf I'm pairing it with Mexican food, starting with Instinct and finishing calmly with the Best Bitter sounds amazing! Start with an IPA and finish with a bitter is easy to remember and stylish too!
Hop BroAnd BAMBOO 4 is especially convenient because it is open from 16:00 to 23:30. After work, you can stop by, grab tacos, start with Instinct, then move on to Komagome Best Bitter for the second round. It is a really clean flow.
MugiWhoa, that's basically the perfect route for tonight! In Yokohama's Sakuragicho, getting to enjoy both beer and food makes me want to go!
Hop BroExactly. Since today is a craft beer kind of day, let's enjoy the crisp bitterness first, then relax with a gentle bitter at the end.
MugiYeah, just imagining it makes my throat want a drink...! It's the best when you can really enjoy it from the first glass to the finish.
