Hop BroProgress in Musashi-Kosugi has Toasa on tap today!
MugiWhoa! Cute name! What kind of beer is it, this KaruizawaQ Toasa?
Hop BroIt's a NewZealand IPA at 6.5%, designed so peach and lychee-like aromas really pop.
MugiI get lychee, but what was that thing you said earlier, dry hopping? Is it dry?!
Hop BroIt's the process of adding hops after fermentation to build aroma, kind of like extra hops for more fragrance. It can make the beer bright and aromatic without being too bitter.
MugiOhh! So it's the kind of beer that's easy to drink even in spring, with that brisk drinking profile!
Hop BroExactly. And Progress is open 16:00 to 23:00, so it's easy to enjoy there or take it to go.
MugiAmazing! And 20% off takeout draft beer on Thursdays means you can do it without a growler?
Hop BroYep, you can. They have cups and PET bottles ready too, so you can go in empty-handed. They also announced notable March events, so it's easy to plan ahead.
MugiThen it's settled! Let's go drink a peach-and-lychee-scented pint at Progress right now!
The beer pub Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Musashi-Kosugi, Kanagawa, shared its business information for Thursday, March 19. Hours are 16:00 to 23:00. The beer tapped for the day is "Toasa" from the Karuizawa brewery KaruizawaQ.
In the Brewer's Note in the post, "Toasa" is introduced as a NewZealand IPA (6.5%), designed around New Zealand hops such as Nelson Sauvin and Motueka. It is described as featuring bright aromas reminiscent of peach and lychee, a dry and refreshing finish, and finely layered bitterness. It has a lively character without feeling heavy, making it easy to keep drinking in early spring.
One of Progress's strengths is that, in addition to a beer inside the shop, its takeout draft beer is easy to use. On Thursdays, takeout draft beer is 20% off. You can bring your own growler, but the shop also provides cups and plastic bottles, so you can go in empty-handed. As more time is spent outdoors, it is a convenient way to carry a beer home or grab one for a walk.
If you're around Musashi-Kosugi Station and looking for an aroma-driven IPA, this is a good day to stop by with "Toasa" as the main draw. The post also announces Bucket Trademark x Pizzaport on Saturday, March 21 and Sakamichi Brewing TTO on Saturday, March 28, making it easy to plan future visits.
