Hop BroAt Craft Beer & Wine THE DODO HOUSE in Meguro, there is a 7-tap update. Today, Shimanami Brewery and Shiga Kogen Beer have just gone on tap, and the lineup is really worth seeing.
MugiWow! Seven kinds on the board? If I had that many choices in Meguro, I'd be happy and overwhelmed the moment I looked at the menu!
Hop BroAnd the new arrivals are good ones. Shimanami Brewery's First Lager is a lager that layers the crispness of a pilsner style with the umami of rice, making it perfect for a first drink.
MugiWhat does adding rice do to beer? "Bringing out the malt's umami" sounds like a spell or something, and now I'm curious!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it gives the beer a clean mouthfeel while adding depth to the flavor. Then the noble hop aroma comes through, so the balance of crispness and aroma feels great.
MugiOh, I see! That sounds like something you could drink down on a hot day. And being suited to the first glass feels beginner-friendly too, which I like!
Hop BroThe other beer, Shiga Kogen Beer's From Scratch, is great too. It has the softness of a blonde ale with citrus notes and a subtle toastiness, so it's designed to pair easily with food.
MugiWait, a blonde ale and it's toasty? Being great as a beer with a meal basically means the food will never stop!
Hop BroExactly. And that day also had distinctive beers like Kobo Brewery's Crazy and Nara Brewing's Spiral, so it's strong that they have everything covered from light and easy-drinking to characterful styles.
MugiThat's amazing, choosing sounds so fun! A place in Meguro where you can drop in casually and let beer be the star really feels like my kind of spot!
Hop BroIt looks like they're on shortened hours from 17:00 to 22:00 today, but if you can make it, it should be really good. I'd want to reset properly after work with a glass of Japanese craft beer.
MugiYeah, now I completely want to drink! I'd seriously be torn over whether to start with Shimanami or Shiga Kogen!
