Hop BroNovel Craft in Chitose-Karasuyama has seven taps to explore, and that is a dangerously tempting lineup.
MugiWhat? There are collaboration beers too? I would be stuck choosing immediately!
Hop BroThere is “remix” with Yorocco Beer and “Reflection” with Cave D'occi. It is fun because the list goes beyond their own brews.
MugiDoes collaboration mean breweries make it together? That sounds like a beer band!
Hop BroExactly. They bring recipes and brewing ideas together, so both breweries’ personalities meet in one glass.
MugiOoh! And “Filter,” “Tape Delay,” and “Life is Peachy” are three intriguing names all by themselves!
Hop BroWith Antelope’s “Kiiro” and Baeren’s “Munchner Helles,” there are seven beers across styles. Helles is a crisp lager where you can enjoy the malt character.
MugiI thought Helles was a magic spell! A crisp malty lager sounds perfect for the first pour.
Hop BroThe food star is the five-vegetable saag chicken curry. It is not green-looking, but apparently the aroma is vividly vegetal when you taste it.
MugiA curry that tricks your eyes? No way! I need to test that vegetable-scented chicken curry with beer.
Hop BroThere is also a mini curry with house-made bread, plus a pastry chef’s house-made gateau chocolat. It covers dinner through dessert beautifully.
MugiLet’s throw a beer and curry feast on the second floor of Kazama Building in Chitose-Karasuyama—I want to see those seven taps now!
