Hop BroIn Yokohama at CraftBeer Cafe & Bar Synchronicity, it's a 9-tap service today. And since it's open from 16:00 to 23:30 on April 17, it's a pretty dangerous night for beer lovers, isn't it?
MugiWhoa, 9 taps is a lot!? With that many, I'd probably get lost before I even ordered!
Hop BroAnd today's two new taps are Oni Densetsu's Kinki Pale Ale "Mosaic Single Ver." and Shima Brewing's "Charcoal-Roasted Coffee Mild Ale." The former is a pale ale where citrus and tropical notes overlap, and the latter is a mild ale made with deeply roasted coffee beans.
MugiMosaic Single Ver. means it's a single-hop thing, right? It suddenly sounds like a research lab!
Hop BroExactly. It's a setup that puts one hop in the spotlight to show off its character. This time Mosaic's citrus and tropical notes come forward, and the bitterness is fairly firm, so the layered aroma feels great.
MugiOhhh! So 'Charcoal-Roasted Coffee Mild Ale' is strong on the coffee flavor even though it's beer? Sounds like a no-go in the morning!
Hop BroThat's what's interesting about it. They steep deeply roasted espresso beans roasted over binchotan charcoal into a British Mild Ale, and the charcoal-roasted flavor and coffee aroma really come through.
MugiWait, beer and coffee go that well together!? And today there's also Oni Ripi Hoppy Saison and Shin Asahioni IPA, right? The lineup is too strong!
Hop BroYeah, there's also the SYNCHRONICITY 10th anniversary beer, Oni Ripi Hoppy Saison, plus a nitro 1759, an ESB, and a pilsner. From the classics to the curveballs, there's real fun in tasting them side by side tonight.
MugiI can't handle it anymore, my throat's already reacting just from reading this! If there are fruit cocktails too, I'll take a break between beers, and first I'm going with Kinki!
Hop BroNice. Let's make tonight a tasting-comparison night in Yokohama. I'll chase the Mosaic aroma, and Mugi-chan can be surprised by the coffee-style one, and then we'll finish with one more together, right?

The 2 taps opened
- Kinki Pale Ale "Mosaic Single Ver." / Noboribetsu Local Beer Oni Densetsu (Hokkaido)
- Charcoal-Roasted Coffee Mild Ale / Shima Brewing (Mie)
Kinki Pale Ale "Mosaic Single Ver." is a beer where citrus aroma is layered with fruitiness and tropical notes. It is described as having a fairly firm bitterness, with a particularly pleasant flavor that lingers as it passes through the nose. Charcoal-Roasted Coffee Mild Ale is made by infusing British Mild Ale with deeply roasted espresso coffee beans roasted over binchotan charcoal, letting you enjoy the aroma of coffee and the flavor of charcoal roasting.
