Hop BroToday at Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Musashi-Kosugi, Hop in my Head American IPA is being tapped on March 31. It feels like a spring-perfect pint from Hop Kotan Brewing.
MugiWait, even the name Hop Kotan Brewing sounds strong! Just reading it makes me feel like my throat is getting hydrated. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's an American IPA, the kind where citrus and tropical aromas take the lead. On top of that, the mouthfeel is bright and juicy, and toward the end you get a nice dank character.
MugiWhat even is dank character? Does beer smell like a vacuum cleaner or something? I'm not following at all!
Hop BroGood call. Dank character means grassy, resinous, slightly damp hop notes. Not a vacuum cleaner at all - it's the cool, rugged aroma that sharpens an IPA's edges.
MugiAh, I get it now. So it's juicy but still crisp. Like it's springy without getting lazy - sounds super drinkable!
Hop BroExactly. For a time of year when both mood and body can feel a little off because the seasons are changing, this kind of easy-drinking IPA is just right. The sweet citrus and tropical notes hit first, so your mood lifts from the very first sip.
MugiAnd Progress is both a beer pub and a bottle shop, right? Drink there, take some home, then drink again - isn't that dangerously appealing?
Hop BroDangerous, maybe, but paradise for beer fans. It's open 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on weekdays, offers draft beer to go, and even supports plastic cups and PET bottles, so the take-home flexibility is excellent.
MugiWhoa, outdoor seating even allows pets? Then dogs can come along for a spring beer detour too. I can already see myself going!
Hop BroIt's perfect for dropping in after work or taking it easy on the weekend. With 20% off draft beer on Wednesdays and Thursdays, it's a pretty strong candidate for a spring pint.
MugiOkay, I'm taking the role of the person who drinks Hop in my Head! I want that citrus and tropical burst, and I want to pour my whole spring mood into a glass!
