MugiWhoa! Kaberu already sounds delicious from the name alone, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's an Oktoberfest-style pint, with aromas like toasted bread, a faint honey note, and malt sweetness.
MugiOktoberfest is that autumn festival, right? What do they mean by completely ignoring the seasonal vibe?
Hop BroIt just means it's delicious even out of season. And it has a refined, well-balanced bitterness, so it doesn't end at sweetness alone.
MugiI see! So it's satisfying, but not too heavy? Maybe it's good for side-by-side tasting.
Hop BroExactly. And that day there were seven domestic labels on the board, including Ishinomaki Hops Works, Yamaguchi Jibeer, and Shimanami Brewery.
MugiSeriously? With lagers and IPAs too, the range of flavors is so wide it sounds fun just picking one!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, THE DODO HOUSE doesn't charge a fee if you use the bench seating. It's easy to stop by for just one drink, and they also serve it in takeaway plastic cups.
MugiThat's perfect! If I drop by Meguro and do a domestic craft beer tasting, I might never want to go home!
