Hop BroThere’s a new tap at THE DODO HOUSE in Meguro. On the May 25 tap update, Kankiku Brewery’s "Your Crush" was added.
MugiWhoa! The name Your Crush is super intriguing! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThe style is a hazy pale ale. It’s a collaboration between Kankiku Brewery and U.B.P. Brewery in Saitama, with orange-like aromas and juicy pink-grapefruit notes.
MugiOhhh! But does hazy mean cloudy? It already looks delicious, but that’s a little hard to understand!
Hop BroExactly. To put it simply, it’s a cloudy, aroma-focused style. It’s not the kind that just leans on bitterness; it’s a beer you enjoy for its aromatic spread and soft mouthfeel.
MugiAnd it’s dry and easy to keep drinking? That’s amazing! Juicy but with a clean finish sounds like I could drink it all night!
Hop BroThe post also mentioned that after some time passed, it settled into better balance. It’s interesting as a drinking window when not just the aroma’s intensity, but also the harmony of the flavor, starts to come together.
MugiWait, beer changes over time? So it’s not just about keeping it cold. That’s way deeper than I thought...!
Hop BroThe lineup that day was also well stocked with seven beers in total. From lagers to dark styles, there were also distinctive picks like Shiga Kogen, Nara Brewing, and Uchoten Brewing.
MugiWow, I’d want to do a tasting comparison! If I can drop in for just one casual beer, I’d want to swing by after work.
Hop BroIt’s nice that there’s no charge for the bench seating, and you can get takeout too. So tonight, it makes me want to head to Meguro for a pint of Your Crush.
MugiYeah, I’m totally in the mood to drink it now! A beer in Meguro sounds like the move right now!
