MugiWhat? The anniversary beer is already in motion? And it’s supposed to be ready around mid-May? I can’t wait!
Hop BroExactly. And the taps that day were pretty bold, with 11 draft beers ranging from lager to IPA, saison, and stout.
MugiSeriously? India Pale Lager, Cold IPA, all those names sound like a beer festival in my head. What do you mean by a wide range?
Hop BroIt means they have everything from light, easy-drinking beers to aroma-packed ones. For example, Shimanami’s India Pale Lager is the kind that combines lager drinkability with hop character.
MugiOhhh! So it’s a lager that makes the hops speak up a little? That’s basically a hop-forward lager, right?
Hop BroExactly. They also had a Hazy IPA like Shiga Kogen’s SNOW MONKEY IPA, which is all about haze and juicy aroma.
MugiSo being cloudy is the right answer...! I was surprised by the appearance, but hearing that it’s cloudy and aromatic makes me want to drink it right away.
Hop BroAnd they even had Hoppy Saison like Yorocco’s Shunrai, plus Nomcraft & Kyoto Beer Lab’s Irish Stout, so the tasting just keeps going.
MugiWait, there’s even craft mead info at the end? I’m already in full I want to compare them all mode, I feel like running off with a glass!
