Hop BroI’ve got a good Matsue story today: Dining Bar Eflush in Teramachi just tapped a fresh NOMCRAFT beer.
MugiWhat! Now I’m curious already! Is the beer really called Hopfenhammer?
Hop BroYep, it’s a German IPL from NOMCRAFT BREWING, a style that blends lager smoothness with IPA-like hop aroma.
MugiWhat even is that! IPL sounds like IPA’s cousin and lager’s roommate, and now my brain is buffering!
Hop BroPut simply, it’s lager-like drinkability with a bright layer of hop character on top. Not too heavy, but still distinctive.
MugiOh wow! And the article says it has citrus and herbal notes, plus a melon-like aroma? That sounds ridiculously sniffable.
Hop BroExactly, and the best part is the clean, crisp bitterness. It doesn’t lean sugary, so it works as a first beer or alongside food.
MugiA first beer and a food beer too? That’s basically an all-purpose hero! My stomach is suddenly making plans.
Hop BroAnd Eflush is fun because they’ve got four regular Shimane beers plus 12 guest taps, so you can pick by mood.
MugiTwelve guest taps!? I’d lose thirty minutes just choosing! And with that spaceship-like interior, the adventure starts before the first sip.
Hop BroIt’s also walkable from Matsue Station, and being able to bounce between regulars and guests makes it perfect for finding your beer today.
MugiThat settles it, I want one now. Let’s head to Eflush for a Hopfenhammer toast and verify the perfect first pint ourselves!
