MugiWhoa, so people planning to go for a drink should watch out! But it's open from 5:00 p.m. to midnight on Tuesday, May 26, so that's a relief.
Hop BroExactly, and the draft beer they're pouring is Sankt Gallen's YOKOHAMA XPA. Since it's an American IPA, it's the kind with a strong hop aroma and bitterness.
MugiWhat's an American IPA? It's from Yokohama, but American? My brain is getting lost in beer!
Hop BroIn short, it's an IPA with a strong hop character. It tends to bring out citrusy aromas and a crisp bitterness, with the hops tightening up the malt sweetness.
MugiI see! And if you can drink it at this Dogenzaka beer pub with a hidden-gem feel, it already sounds delicious.
Hop BroThis place is also strong on sake, so the draw is that you can enjoy it with bar snacks that pair well with drinks. It's the kind of place that doesn't let you just power through beer alone, which is dangerous in the best way.
MugiThe word 'dangerous' is a little scary, but I'm interested! And with Akane's Happy Time and 100 yen off for the first two hours after opening, it feels like it's pushing me out the door!
Hop BroWhat's more, regular hours are 5:00 p.m. to midnight on weekdays and 2:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays, so it's easy to choose between daytime drinking and evening drinking. May 23 is event-only, and Saturday, May 30 is scheduled as the final business day, so keep that in mind.
MugiThis makes me want to head to Shibuya with a YOKOHAMA XPA in hand and settle in for a proper drink!
