Hop BroAt Beer Space On Tap in Kobe's Motomachi, FUKUOKA CRAFT's "Sea and Tomato Mexican Ale" has been tapped.
MugiWhat? "Sea and Tomato" already has way too much information in the name alone!
Hop BroThe thing is, it's not just a novelty brew. It's designed with a michelada inspiration. It layers the savory depth of tomato juice with clam extract, celery powder, and habanero salsa.
MugiClam, celery, and habanero? Wait, did they turn a full appetizer platter into beer?!
Hop BroKind of, but the aim is more subtle. They keep the umami and spice neatly balanced within the beer's 4% lightness.
MugiOh, I see! So it's not too spicy, but it still has a clear flavor profile.
Hop BroExactly. And on this day's taps, they've also got T.Y HARBOR's Pale Ale, FILL BREWING's WHAT A NEW WORLD, GOOD HOPS' Twilight Cascade, Komainu Brewery's Sakura Saison, and Shiga Kogen Beer's Draft Pale Ale (Real Ale ver.), so it's a showdown of six distinctive beers.
MugiWhoa, they even have a Real Ale ver.? That sounds so insider-ish, like suddenly I'm an advanced beer pub regular!
Hop BroBeer Space On Tap is in the basement of Kobe Plaza Hotel, and one of the good things about it is that you can calmly face each beer one at a time. Because it's a quiet space for drinking, part of the fun is following the tap rotation.
MugiI see, so today I want to head to Motomachi and look for a beer that matches my mood!
Hop BroThat's the plan. Start with the Sea and Tomato, then wind down with a pale ale - it's the kind of flow that makes you say, I want to toast right now.
MugiYeah, reading this has me in full beer mode already! The candidate for tonight's drink is absolutely decided.

The day's selection brings together taps with very different flavor profiles, from a standard pale ale and a saison to a Cascade-driven beer and a draft pale ale in real ale format.
