Hop BroRight now, the latest 6-tap lineup in Ryogoku/Kuramae is pretty interesting. Minna no Craft Beer Bar has put up a range from IPA to bitter and Kölsch, led by West Coast Brewing's "Starwatcher."
MugiWhoa! Six beers and that much range? That's like a flavor roller coaster in one place!
Hop BroExactly. And the lineup has real strength. West Coast IPA-style "Starwatcher," Revo Brewing's "Oceania IPA," and DD4D's "My Secret Lemon Trees 3" are a dream cast for hop lovers.
MugiHold on, what's a West Coast IPA? Like the west side of the ocean? Beer is way too knowledgeable about geography!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a style with pronounced bitterness and aroma. Citrus-like aromatics and a sharp finish are its hallmarks, and "Starwatcher" is a textbook example.
MugiGot it! So "My Secret Lemon Trees 3" sounds like a fruity bomb just from the name? Just hearing lemon makes my mouth pucker up!
Hop BroThat's a good reaction. It also has some of the softness you'd expect from a Hazy Pale Ale, with a bright aroma and an approachable drinkability. It's flashy, but it still goes down smoothly.
MugiBut still, wouldn't you get tired if it were all IPA? Having something like Ordinary Bitter there is kind of reassuring.
Hop BroThat's what this place does well. Because it has easy-drinking options like Nomcraft Brewing's "Ordinary Bitter" and BrewBeast Brewery's "BOTTOMLESS," it's easy to build a flow from the first pour to the last.
MugiAnd it's not just beer, it's great with pizza too. It's less like a beer pub and more like a neighborhood hangout where you'd naturally want to stay a while.
Hop BroExactly. It's nice that it's easy to use in everyday life, right there in the residential streets of Ryogoku/Kuramae. And with plans on May 23 and June 27 too, there's the fun of following the tap changes.
MugiAll right, today I want to start with a crisp "Starwatcher" and then finish quietly with "BOTTOMLESS"! A place that makes you wonder what the next beer will be? Yeah, I have to go!
