Hop BroFor June 4, And Beer in Koenji is pouring CRISP Rosemary. It’s a guest beer from La Quince Brewing Co., and that rosemary aroma sounds seriously tempting.
MugiWait, rosemary in beer? That gives off total drinkable herb garden energy.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s a herb ale, built on a clean pale ale base, so the aroma stands out but the finish stays easy.
MugiHold on, you tossed out pale ale like I was supposed to nod wisely.
Hop BroThink soft malt, gentle hop bitterness, and an approachable balance. It’s basically craft beer 101, and the rosemary gives it a food-friendly twist.
MugiOhh, then it should be amazing with the Japanese dashi chicken curry from the article, right?
Hop BroExactly. This is what people call food-friendly beer. Big aroma, but still smooth enough to keep drinking by the pint.
MugiFood-friendly beer, got it. So basically bestie for dinner?
Hop BroPerfect translation. And Beer is also basically biryani heaven, and tonight they’ve got a rosemary mixed-meat biryani too.
MugiThat is dangerous. Beer first or biryani first? Either way it’s a happy traffic jam.
Hop BroThey’re open straight through from 11:30 to 22:00, with takeout too. Fill a growler and it becomes home bar mode instantly.
MugiDog-and-cat-friendly terrace, drink-in or takeout, curry and guest beer... yeah, tonight is Koenji mission.
