Hop BroAkihabara is looking very good today. Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara just refreshed its June 18 tap list, and it’s basically 15 taps loaded with highlights, including Isekadoya Beer’s 'Hat Trick'!
MugiWhat! And that beer name, sounds like soccer, so now I need to know what’s going on immediately!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. 'Hat Trick' is a rich hazy IPA, and they tapped it with World Cup season in mind, so it already has a playful hook before you even sip it.
MugiWait, what does that even mean? Is hazy like fog? Why does this beer suddenly sound like weather with alcohol?
Hop BroHonestly, that’s not far off. A hazy IPA is basically a cloudy IPA style with softer texture and bright hop aroma, so it feels juicy instead of just aggressively bitter.
MugiThat actually sounds very drinkable! But Burley Oak brought in four new beers too? Those are full dessert names. Are we ordering beer or raiding a bakery?
Hop BroBurley Oak really goes for it. Alongside the single-hop '100,' they brought in three fruit sours from the J.R.E.A.M series: 'Brown Butter Apple Pie,' 'Carrot Cake Cheesecake,' and 'Raspberry White Chocolate.'
MugiJ.R.E.A.M already sounds like a spell, and fruit sour beers sound like candy with a secret mission. Raspberry and white chocolate is completely unserious in the best way.
Hop BroExactly. The ingredients are front and center, so the flavor direction is obvious right away. And the full list also includes beers like 'AGE AGE SAME AGE,' 'Torahachi Bakushu,' and 'Vita Amara,' so the range is wide.
MugiAnd they do takeout too, with growler fills available? If they’re open from 4 p.m. most weekdays and later on Friday and Saturday, that’s dangerously convenient.
Hop BroPayment’s easy too: cash, PayPay, cards, transit IC. It’s the kind of place where you can chase collabs and limited sours in one stop, so I’d start with 'Hat Trick' and then go weird with Burley Oak.
MugiThat’s the plan. I want to enter the hazy world with 'Hat Trick' first, then jump straight into an apple-pie sour after that. I’m fully thirsty now.
