Hop BroTBE Brewing in Ebisu has unveiled ten beers on tap. From Shiga Kogen Beer to distinctive breweries around Japan, it is a seriously fun list.
MugiWhat? Right near Ebisu Station and ten taps? I am about to say, “One of everything,” before I even sit down!
Hop BroThe highlight is Shiga Kogen Beer’s Fresh Hop Africa Pale Ale, at 5.0% ABV. It uses Cascade and Vista hops harvested on the very day it was brewed.
MugiNo way! Brewed on harvest day? Do hops get a freshness bonus like just-picked vegetables?
Hop BroExactly. Most hops are dried, but fresh hops go in while still green, so they can bring a vivid, juicy aroma. Expect grapefruit-like citrus with a gentle melon note.
MugiOoh! Citrus and melon sounds like an aroma-first beer. But with ten choices, I am going to get deliciously lost!
Hop BroFor a lighter start, Kunitachi Brewery’s “Yurumi” is 3.5%. At the other end, Shiga Kogen’s “Sono Ju No.10 IPA” is 7.5%, so there is a wide ABV range.
MugiFrom 3.5% to 7.5%! If I go from Yurumi to No.10, my excitement might hit level ten too!
Hop BroThere is also Ishinomaki Hop Works’ “Fest Lager,” Johana Beer’s “Masaru IPA,” and Isekado Brewery’s “Mr. Dank.” The lower-volume pours are Wonder Loss and Locomotion.
MugiThen we should hurry! With sashimi, grape-fed beef shoulder steak, lamb sauté, and scallop oil pasta, food pairing choices are just as hard.
Hop BroNext up are Johana Beer’s “Toyama Green Hop” and Saikado Brewing’s “Titanota 3.” Let’s pair that fresh-hop ale with sashimi or scallop pasta and go for a drink in Ebisu.
MugiDeal! A crisp pale ale first, then small pours of whatever calls to us. I want to toast now!
