Want a Beer to Guide 6 Kegs on the Tap List on 5/4, Including Hop Kotan and Black Tide Brewing
The beer pub Want a Beer in Motoimaizumi, Utsunomiya City, announced its business hours from 12:00 to 23:00 on May 4. The tap list will feature six beers, including brews from Hop Kotan, Black Tide Brewing, and Oni Densetsu, plus two collaboration beers with Want a Beer.
Hop BroThe beer pub "Want a Beer" in Utsunomiya has put out its business notice for May 4 only. It's open from 12:00 to 23:00, with L.O. at 22:00, so it's set up for a full day of drinking from afternoon into the night.
MugiWhoa, from noon to night!? And it's already fully booked inside? That place is blowing up. If I went that day, would there still be a seat for Mugi...
Hop BroHere's the interesting part: terrace seating is available for up to four people, but they're saying only one table is open until 14:30. Reservations are handled through LINE from the profile, and DMs may take a while to get a reply.
MugiSo reservations are LINE first, huh. But the beer names already sound intense. What kind of lineup is six kegs?
Hop BroFirst up is Full Throttle / Hop Kotan, an American IPA. It's a classic aggressive pick, with plenty of aroma and bitterness to enjoy.
MugiI get American IPA, but what's a Milky Hazy IPA next to that? Milky and hazy? That sounds delicious, but my brain can't keep up!
Hop BroThat's fine, Heaven's Age is a collaboration between Black Tide Brewing and Teenage Brewing, and its signature is a soft mouthfeel and juiciness. Think hazy-looking, but smooth and fluffy when you drink it.
MugiFluffy and juicy? I want to drink it already! And they even have Kinuoni Pale Ale? Today is basically a hop festival.
Hop BroExactly. Oni Densetsu's Krush single version is an American Pale Ale that shows off the hop character in a straightforward way. On top of that, Want a Beer's 5th-anniversary Flesh!!! is a fruit sour, SPECIALS is a Belgian White, and Moonwalk is a West Coast Pilsner, so the variety is almost unfairly good.
MugiWait, they even have a 5th-anniversary collaboration!? So if I pair that with bamboo shoot fritters or red sea bream carpaccio, both the food and the beer are the main attraction. The temptation to day drink is seriously huge...
Hop BroExactly. If you want to take it easy in Utsunomiya, all-day opening from noon to night is a strong move. I'd start with an IPA and finish with a sour.
MugiI'm going to grab the terrace seat first and then yell that I want to try all six beers! After reading today's article, my throat already remembers beer!
