At the craft beer specialty shop cedar mountain shop in Shimokitazawa, the six-tap lineup has been refreshed. The beers on offer include Passific Brewing's West Coast IPA "CHAKO," along with brews from Shiga Kogen Beer, Totopia Brewery, Nobody Brewing, VERTERE x Nara Brewing, and open air.
Hop BroSix taps have been swapped out at cedar mountain shop in Shimokitazawa. It starts with Passific Brewing's CHAKO, and the lineup is really solid.
MugiWhat? Six draft beers all at once? And Shimokitazawa just has this image of being such a stylish neighborhood!
Hop BroIt's a beer pub, on the first floor of a building near the station, and what's cool is that there's a live house upstairs. You can drink there and even grab a beer before a show, which feels very Shimokitazawa.
MugiWhat is that! West Coast IPA and Wheat IPA, and just the names are making my head float!
Hop BroBroadly speaking, CHAKO, the West Coast IPA, is crisp and hoppy, while Shiga Kogen Beer's Swheat &IPA is a wheat-based beer with apple and a soft mouthfeel.
MugiOh wow! I thought a beer made with apple would be kind of dessert-like, but it's an IPA. Just imagining the aroma is fun!
Hop BroOn top of that, Totopia Brewery's Duskphobia is a DDH Hazy Pale Ale, and Nobody Brewing's The Glitch is an IPL, so you can see they're pushing both aroma and drinkability.
MugiDDH again! With so much specialized terminology, Mugi's brain is going to foam up!
Hop BroDDH is a brewing method that uses a lot of hops, and Hazy styles are all about the haze and softness. And Typhina, made with Pilsner Malt and Vienna Malt, is a collaboration brew that brings out the malt sweetness and delicate aroma.
MugiI see! Then I definitely want to compare Hop Viking too, and on a hot day, sampling them little by little would be delicious!
Hop BroExactly. It's a lineup that's fun to explore by comparing three beers, and today it makes both of us want a pint.
At cedar mountain shop, a craft beer specialty store in Shimokitazawa, six draft beers were announced under "Today's ON TAP." The shop operates as a beer pub, located on the first floor of a building near Shimokitazawa Station, and it is also known for having a live house upstairs. In addition to drinking on-site, takeout is easy, and you can bring the beer you buy into the live house upstairs.
What stands out about this lineup is its wide range of styles. First up is Passific Brewing's "CHAKO," a West Coast IPA. Next, Shiga Kogen Beer's "Swheat &IPA" is introduced as a Wheat IPA made with apple. Totopia Brewery's "Duskphobia" is a DDH Hazy Pale Ale, and Nobody Brewing's "The Glitch" is an IPL, making for a lineup of labels that balance aroma and drinkability.
Also, VERTERE x Nara Brewing's collaboration beer "Typhina" is brewed with Pilsner Malt and Vienna Malt. The caption says the carbonation was kept modest to bring out the malt's sweetness and the hops' delicate aroma. Finally, open air's "Hop Viking" promises the soft mouthfeel typical of a Hazy IPA.
The post also noted that Nobody Brewing's "The Glitch" and VERTERE x Nara Brewing's "Typhina" had been tapped. On a hot day, it also seems like a good lineup for tasting three beers side by side and gradually comparing their differences. As a spot in Shimokitazawa where you can casually choose craft beer while moving between live music venues, this tap update is definitely one to watch.
