Hop BroToday's Meguro topic is a good one: Meguro Republic Burger&Beer just tapped T.A.S.T.Y. IPA. It's a beer built around an image of Yurakucho.
MugiWait, a Yurakucho-inspired beer in Meguro? And it's two minutes from the station? That's not a detour, that's a tractor beam!
Hop BroThe brewer is Tokyo Aleworks, and the style is a classic West Coast IPA. Firm bitterness, bright aroma, very straight-down-the-middle in a good way.
MugiWest Coast what now? My brain is gridlocked with all these beer words!
Hop BroIn plain language, it's an IPA that's boldly bitter and aromatic. Old-school backbone, but still easy to enjoy.
MugiAnd the ingredients come from the U.S., France, Australia, Germany, the U.K., and Japan? That's basically a world tour in a glass!
Hop BroExactly. It layers Northern Hemisphere bitterness with Southern Hemisphere tropical character, a real north-south hop duet. That's the nerdy fun part.
MugiSo basically it's bitter with tropical vibes too? Okay, that contrast is working on me already!
Hop BroAnd Meguro Republic backs it up with 10 taps, 200 bottled beers, and a menu where it's perfect with burgers. A juicy burger catches that bitterness beautifully, and now I want one.
MugiLunch burger spot, night pub, takeout and delivery too? My need-a-pint meter just exploded. T.A.S.T.Y. IPA and a burger, immediately!
