HOP MAN in Chigasaki Updates Seven Taps, Featuring Passific Brewing and Shiga Kogen Beer
The beer pub HOP MAN in Chigasaki, Kanagawa, has published its "ON TAP TODAY...". While also mentioning takeout sales at the in-house BOTTLE SHOP, it shows a tap lineup ranging from pilsners to sour ales.
Hop BroHOP MAN, the beer pub in Chigasaki, is really fired up with this tap update. Their Instagram "ON TAP TODAY..." makes it feel like a day when you can enjoy both draft beer and bottles.
MugiWhoa, they have both kegs and bottles!? That alone makes me excited, but what kinds of beers are on tap?
Hop BroWhat stands out first is the PERFECT Black Label, plus Passific Brewing's "Zwickle Pils" and "Fryeing Organs," and even Quartet Brewing's "Pilsner Da Capo." It's an irresistible lineup for lager fans.
MugiWhat, so it's heavy on pilsners? But what's a Zwickle? The name suddenly makes it sound like some kind of science experiment!
Hop BroZwickle roughly refers to a slender glass, and it's a way to appreciate a pilsner's aroma and crisp finish very cleanly. So "Zwickle Pils" is the kind of beer you can enjoy in a smart, stylish way, both in appearance and flavor.
MugiOhh! Then the next thing I'm curious about is the personality taps. Just from those names, it already feels like we're traveling all over the place!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. They also have Brasserie Knot's "FLOWER," Shiga Kogen Beer's "Baby Blonde Miyama," Y.Market Brewing's "Psychedelicrock Kriek," and GORA BREWERY & GRILL's "THE STACK," so the range of flavors is wide.
MugiWait, there are fruit and sour beers too!? And Kriek sounds super cherry-like just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. Kriek is a sour style that often uses cherries, so acidity and fruitiness tend to take center stage. And since this lineup goes from pilsners to sours, it's easy to build a flow where you start light and bright, then make a detour into aroma and tartness along the way.
MugiSo it's a lineup that's easy to compare side by side! If it's within walking distance from Chigasaki Station's north exit, it's the kind of place where you stop in for one drink and that can turn dangerous.
Hop BroAnd since there's also a BOTTLE SHOP inside, being able to take something home if you like it is the sneaky part. It's a lineup that's easy to use for a pre-meal drink or a stop along a bar crawl.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I want to drink right now! Today I want to go to HOP MAN and work my way through everything from the crisp ones to the sour ones!
The beer pub HOP MAN in Jokkenzaka, Chigasaki City, posted "ON TAP TODAY..." on Instagram. The in-house BOTTLE SHOP also carries beer for takeout, making it a day to enjoy both draft and bottles.
The taps visible in the image include Sapporo Breweries' "the PERFECT Black Label", Passific Brewing's "Zwickle Pils" and "Fryeing Organs", Quartet Brewing's "Pilsner Da Capo", Brasserie Knot's "FLOWER", Shiga Kogen Beer (Tamamura Honten Co.)'s "Baby Blonde Miyama", Y.Market Brewing's "Psychedelicrock Kriek", and GORA BREWERY & GRILL's "THE STACK".
In terms of style, the lineup stands out for its breadth, spanning pilsners, kölsch, Belgian white, weizen, fruit beer, and sour ale. It makes for an easy progression from a clean lager to settle the palate, then on to beers with strong hop character or a bottle with fruitiness and acidity. In keeping with a shop on the second floor within walking distance of Chigasaki Station's north exit, it is a setup that lets you casually compare multiple flavors without any fuss.
This lineup, which covers classic craft beer styles while weaving in the personality of local breweries, looks like it would work well for anything from a pre-meal drink to a stop along a bar crawl.
