Hop BroThe beer pub "craft beer BLUE" in Minami Ward, Sagamihara City, announced four new taps on April 3. When new taps start moving all at once, the shop atmosphere starts to feel like spring too.
MugiWait, four at once!? Opening that many at once means the manager would need four arms to keep up!
Hop BroThis round's new beers are Otama Brewing's sake lees sour ale, NAMACHAん Brewing's IPA, BREW CLASSIC's wheat IPA, and CYCAD BREWING's amber IPA. The styles are well spread out, so the tasting lineup is nicely designed.
MugiHold on, what's a sour ale!? Just hearing that it's sour makes me feel like I need a little courage!
Hop BroBasically, it's a beer you enjoy for its acidity. And this one has sake lees and thinned apples, so the sweetness, tartness, and fermentation notes overlap. It's not just sour.
MugiOhhh! So it's kind of like fruit juice? And thinned apples sound so stylish I want to put them in my fridge!
Hop BroNAMACHAん Brewing's IPA is more of a classic style, using Mosaic and Citra plus Simcoe. The hop aroma comes forward, so it's easy to pick up citrus and tropical notes.
MugiWhoa, that sounds like I could get drunk just from the aroma! But hop-forward means the aroma is the star, not just bitterness, right?
Hop BroExactly. And BREW CLASSIC's Wolf Chop is a wheat IPA that moves from lychee into citrus, while CYCAD BREWING's Riedlei3 is an amber IPA with hints of muscat grape and pine resin too, so the progression of flavors is really clean.
MugiWhat, muscat and pine resin!? Just imagining that combo makes my brain get taken over by beer!
Hop BroOn top of that, the current Tap List has eight beers, ranging from fruit styles to a coffee stout. Since it includes YGGDRASIL, THREE ARROWS, TALL BOYS, and VERTERE too, it's strong in how easy it is to choose based on your mood that day.
MugiThen I guess I have no choice but to go for a serious tasting session! On the second floor in Sagamidai, I really want to agonize over which one to start with today.
