MugiWhoa! Four cans? If they can be enjoyed in-house or as takeout, I’d be totally pulled in if I spotted them while passing by!
Hop BroThe lineup included HAKUNA MATATA, SIDE BY SIDE, WIZARDBORN NOIR, and GHOST NOTE#4, so the styles really span a pretty wide range.
MugiWait, what is a TDH Double Hazy IPA? It sounds like a spell - the name alone has huge RPG vibes!
Hop BroTDH is basically the image of stacking a lot of hops, and with a Double Hazy IPA, the aroma and juiciness tend to come forward.
MugiI see! So GHOST NOTE#4 sounds like one of those beers that goes down easy with a soft aroma - and the name is cool too!
Hop BroExactly. And HAKUNA MATATA is a West Coast Pilsner, so it’s the kind of beer where a crisp finish is paired with hop aroma.
MugiHaving both crisp styles and hazy styles at the same time, isn’t the range for tasting side by side a little too wide? I’m going to have trouble deciding where to start!
Hop BroAnd WIZARDBORN NOIR is an Imperial Stout, so it’s one you can slowly enjoy for the depth of its dark malt - the kind of beer you want to take your time with.
MugiBeing able to follow Hiroshima’s distinctive brews in Okayama is amazing! Today makes me want a drink in Omotecho, or maybe two!
