Hop BroSo And Beer in Koenji is pouring just one keg of Tabisuru WIPA on Saturday, May 27. The first release after moving to the new factory in January 2025 is pretty exciting.
MugiWait, just one keg!? That's the kind of thing you'd run for if you found it. And being able to drink it with curry in Koenji is just too good!
Hop BroAnd the style is DDH-WIPA, 7.0%. DDH means double dry-hopping, a technique that really boosts the aroma.
MugiDry-hopping? What is that, some kind of delicious code!? But I get that it adds aroma somehow, like your nose is drinking first!
Hop BroThe hops are Citra and Amarillo, with citrus aroma, a pleasant bitterness, and a moderate malt character. In other words, it’s flashy but not sloppy.
MugiOhhh! If you pair it with spice dishes like oyster biryani, it feels like a trip starts in your mouth!
Hop BroWith dishes like Gujo miso keema, bai makrut coconut chicken, and lamb mapo tofu too, a WIPA with a strong hop profile is exactly the right match.
MugiThe aji fry 65 sounds tempting too, and the day-drinking route is perfect! Open at 11:30 with all-day service, so there's no escaping it.
Hop BroYou can use it from lunch through dinner, and takeout is available from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Plus, the terrace seats are okay for dogs and cats, so it really hits the spot for casual daytime drinking.
MugiAll right, today is officially a day to eat and drink heartily! First Tabisuru WIPA, then curry, and one more drink at the end, please!
