Hop BroKyoto tap-watch time: Kakuuchi Asakura just refreshed its five draft taps on Instagram.
MugiWait, five fresh taps at once? That's not a menu, that's a personality test!
Hop BroThe featured brewery this week is HINOBREWING, with Baka Lager and Dontoyare IPA leading the charge.
MugiHold on, Hazy IPA sounds like a chemistry spell. What am I actually drinking?
Hop BroShort version: it's a soft, cloudy IPA with citrus and peach vibes, and Dontoyare IPA still drinks easy at 5.5% ABV.
MugiOoh, then Baka Lager is the crisp, clean, no-drama pick, right?
Hop BroExactly, it's a Czech Pale Lager at 5.0% ABV, and the rest of the lineup has serious style range too.
MugiWhat is this lineup, a beer world map? West Coast Pilsner, Italian Pilsner, even Munchener Helles?
Hop BroFujizakura Heights Beer's DIAMOND side BEAT, Yellow Beer Works' Imagine, Inkhorn's Flocking, CRAFT BEER BASE's North west Pale Ale, and HINOBREWING's Gamou Helles make five beers on tap.
MugiAnd they also have sake like Hanatomoe and Izumibashi? That's basically comparison-flight heaven.
Hop BroPlus they do take-home pours and daytime drop-ins, which is kakuuchi power at its finest.
MugiI'm sold. Start me with the lager, then launch me into haze mode because I want this now!
Hop BroSame here, and if we're doing this properly, I already want to open with Dontoyare IPA first.
