MugiWhat, tapping two kegs at once is way too luxurious! And just from the names, they already sound intense, so I'm curious!
Hop BroFirst, 'A La Playa' appears as an overseas keg from Trademark. It has a strong personality, and it's the kind of beer that appeals to people looking for that satisfying craft-beer heft.
MugiWait, if it has heft, is it one of those bitter ones? Or one where the aroma just bursts out? Just hearing this is making me feel tipsy!
Hop BroThe article doesn't give an exact style name, but the 'heft' here means more like a keg beer with a distinct personality. If you imagine something where the aroma, bitterness, or body makes its presence known, that's pretty close.
MugiI see, so it's the type of beer that talks! I kind of like that. I want something that makes its presence known to me too!
Hop BroThe other one, 'Saruyama Shikao,' is an Osaka collaboration between Minoh Beer and Akishika Shuzo. It's a locally rooted pour, so it pairs really well with food.
MugiMinoh Beer and Akishika Shuzo? That's a powerhouse Osaka team-up! It already sounds delicious just from the handshake!
Hop BroAnd Hathor also serves smoked dishes, so the pairing of smoked food and draft beer is great. Since the lineup changes daily, it's fun that you can meet a different face every time you go.
MugiAnd on top of that, they even announced the return of chairs! Standing and drinking energetically is good too, but today I feel like sitting down and taking it slow!
Hop BroExactly. I like that it conveys the shop's atmosphere more than flashy hype. If you try the new two kegs and settle in at a table with a drink, it should be a really happy night.
MugiThen it's decided, tonight's drink is at Hathor! Both A La Playa and Saruyama Shikao sound tempting, and if I sit down and drink slowly, it'll absolutely be delicious!
