Hop BroAt craft beer "Extra Hop" in Chuo-machi, Oita City, there’s a collaboration event with Chef Tamai from May 15 to 17. What’s interesting is that they’re not just serving draft beer, but also pouring bottled saisons and sour ales by the glass.
MugiHuh! They’re doing bottles by the glass too? That sounds stylish, and like you can try a bunch of different things little by little!
Hop BroExactly. The two stars of this release are Yokohama Bay Brewing's Goooaaal!!! and CRAFTROCK BREWING's DRINK ALL DAY.
MugiWhat is that! Just hearing West Coast IPA and Kölsch makes my brain fall behind!
Hop BroGoooaaal!!! is a West Coast IPA with bright aroma and a sharp bitterness, and it's a great fit for the warmer season. DRINK ALL DAY's appeal is its light, easy-drinking Kölsch character, so it goes down smoothly.
MugiOhhh! So it's not just the names, they even have different personalities. And with a young brewer from Oita in charge, it feels like a locally rooted pint you want to support!
Hop BroAnd what really feels like Extra Hop is its focus on food pairing. Bottles like Holy Mountain, Fair Isle, and OXBOW are also lined up, and the whole selection is built with meals in mind.
MugiWait, so does that mean the food is just as important as the beer? But a 1 Beer & 1 Food order rule means this place is serious about eating and drinking!
Hop BroExactly. And with no wine service and no soft drinks either, they’re really going all in on beer and food. Last order is at 21:30, and on weekends they’re open continuously from 16:00 to 22:00, so it's convenient for people who like to start early too.
MugiIn that wood-warm space, choosing the beer seriously from the very first pint sounds like so much fun! Today I want to start with Goooaaal!!! and end by savoring DRINK ALL DAY!
