Meieki BINGE Taps 8 Bit Brewing Company’s "Dark Forces" and More
Nagoya’s Meieki beer pub BINGE has released its latest tap list under the title "We Are Open...". The lineup includes 8 Bit Brewing Company’s DDH HAZY DIPA "Dark Forces", along with beers from Derailleur Brew Works, BLACK TIDE BREWING, and VERTERE.
Hop BroMeieki's BINGE has come through with its latest tap list release. The star this time is 8 Bit Brewing Company's "Dark Forces," a DDH HAZY DIPA that's all about big aromas.
MugiWhoa! DDH HAZY DIPA sounds like a spell! And a name like Dark Forces sounds way too powerful!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. DDH means it's loaded with hops, hazy means it's cloudy, and DIPA is a stronger double IPA. It's built to put mango and pineapple aromas front and center.
MugiI see! So it's basically a 9% aroma bomb. The idea of fruit charging in the moment you take a sip is kind of scary, but I like it!
Hop BroAnd BINGE doesn't stop there. 8 Bit Brewing Company's "Mario Tart: Phantom Stronghold" is a fruit sour with pomegranate and apricot, the kind with a sharp, crisp tartness.
MugiSour means a tart beer, right? But if beer tastes like fruit tart, I'm kind of lost on whether this is dessert or a drink!
Hop BroThat's pretty much the idea. BLACK TIDE BREWING's "SAKURA" and VERTERE's "MAGNOLIA" are on the list too, so even in this fruit-forward lineup you can still enjoy a clear bitterness.
MugiWhat is that lineup, it's cute! But just seeing Derailleur Brew Works makes it feel like a seriously quirky selection, and that's not just me, right?
Hop BroNot just you. There's Nishinari Riot Ale, IPL, tropical sour, and even a chai-style robust porter, so it feels like the brewery is going completely wild.
MugiWait, porter with chai!? Drinking that would feel like walking past a spice shop, even though it's beer!
Hop BroAnd since there's also a pilsner, you can start with hazy, play around with sours and porters, and then finish with a pilsner to reset things. That's very BINGE.
MugiAll right, then let's go compare a bunch of beers in Meieki today! I want to start with Dark Forces to get surprised, and finish with a pilsner to make up!
