Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo Taps Three Kegs on April 5, Including Fidens' "DDH Jasper"
On April 5, Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo tapped three new kegs. The lineup includes Fidens' hazy double IPA "DDH Jasper," a hoppy pils, and a blood orange fruit ale, all available from Sunday opening at noon.
Hop BroHey Mugi, Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo is tapping three kegs on April 5. It’s great news, right? You can go at it from midday on Sunday.
MugiWhat, from midday!? Open at 12:00? That’s basically a day you wake up for beer!
Hop BroAnd the highlight is Fidens' DDH Jasper. It’s a hazy double IPA that hits you with thick aroma and serious drinkability.
MugiWhat does DDH even mean? Is that some kind of spell, like double-double dry hopping?
Hop BroPretty close! It stands for Double Dry Hopped, a method where a generous amount of hops is added after fermentation to really boost the aroma.
MugiWhoa! So that means Fidens is going full hop aroma. I feel like my nose would get buzzed first!
Hop BroThe other beer, Taco Time, is West Coast's hoppy pils. It adds hop character to the easy-drinking nature of a pils, so it pairs well with food too.
MugiThat sounds great as a food-pairing beer! A pils that's hoppy seems easy for beginners to get into too.
Hop BroThere's also Hime Beer's Blood Orange Fruit Ale. At 2.0%, it's light and airy, and the citrus notes come through in a really interesting way.
MugiLight but still fruity? That’s the best! It feels like a midday drinking trio, and now I want to go to Takadanobaba right away!
Hop BroWhat makes Sunday fun is being able to compare everything from rich styles to lighter, brisk ones. At this point, both you and I are already wearing first-beer faces.
MugiYeah, this is totally one of those beers you just have to drink... A weekend reward tap lineup I want to enjoy together!
