Hop BroFor August 9 at Koenji's And Beer, the featured drink is the fruit ale 'Sumomomo'.
MugiWait, what! The name alone is adorable, and that tongue-twister energy is unreal. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt uses Oishi Wase plums, so you get fruit-driven tartness and juicy freshness. That's a perfect summer pour.
MugiWhoa! But the article said what's a brewpub? Is that a secret base where a brewery and diner fused together?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. It's a place that brews in-house and serves the beer with food right there, so And Beer is basically a drinkable brewery kitchen.
MugiThat sounds amazing! And with beef biryani plus pork vindaloo on deck, my stomach is already making plans.
Hop BroThis is where pairing matters. Sumomomo's acidity lifts the spice profile and cleans up the finish, so it's built for spicy food.
MugiHold on, 'pairing' mode activated? So after the heat hits, the plum freshness resets my mouth?
Hop BroExactly. Lunch runs 11:30 to 15:00, dinner is 17:00 to 21:00, solo reservations are fine, and Uber Eats exists, but this feels like a pint to enjoy there.
MugiNope, I'm done resisting. I need biryani and Sumomomo side by side right now.
