Hop BroToday's star is West Coast Brewing's "Taco Time." It's been tapped as a guest beer at UNDERGROUND Craft Beer Akabane Store, and finding it within walking distance of Akabane Station is exciting.
MugiWhoa, even the name Taco Time sounds delicious! It already makes me want to drink it with a taco in hand, and now my stomach is growling.
Hop BroExactly. And the style is Hoppy Pils. It's a type that layers hop aroma onto the lightness of a pilsner, and at 5.0% ABV it's easy to drink while still making its aroma known.
MugiHuh! But what does a hoppy pils actually taste like? The words alone are making the deliciousness pile up, and my brain is a little behind!
Hop BroPut simply, it goes down clean, but the aroma rises clearly through the nose. The bitterness isn't too strong either, and the balance that invites one more sip between meals or conversations is the key to its drinkability.
MugiSo basically, it's a beer you can take easy with. I like that. Just as the name says, it feels like something you can drop in for without getting too hyped up!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, they have up to 12 taps plus more than 100 cans and bottles. Since they line up American and Japanese craft beers, it's strong because you can start with Taco Time and compare different beers.
MugiWait, that many? More than 100 bottles and cans is basically a little treasure hunt arena. If I had to choose, I'd probably walk around the shop three times!
Hop BroAnd you can take it home in a growler too, so you have an at-home drinking option. Being able to have one at the shop and another after you get home makes it really convenient.
MugiThey even have hand-wrapped craft gyoza? That's basically the strongest support crew for beer.
Hop BroExactly. Pairing gyoza with a light, lively beer like Taco Time is the kind of combo that goes down endlessly. Today, we've got a reason to head to Akabane for a new guest beer.
MugiYeah, I have to go! It can be the starting point for a tasting comparison, and I want to start with a toast of Taco Time, then go search for the next beer!
