MugiWhat! It's opening already? The name "Twilight Cascade" already sounds like the title of a stylish movie!
Hop BroIt's an IPA, ABV 6.5%. It uses three hops: Tono-grown Cascade, German Hersbrucker, and Tono Saaz. The design layers citrus aroma, malt sweetness, and herbal notes.
MugiWhat is that? Is "layered design" like a beer mille-feuille?!
Hop BroThat's pretty much right! Think of it as feeling the aroma layers one after another. First citrus, then a gentle sweetness, and finally a clean, herbal finish.
MugiWow! And there are six taps on March 7, right? I might spend so long choosing that it'll be closing time before I decide!
Hop BroThe lineup is "Twilight Cascade," "Cheerful Nectaron," "Trinity," "SORACHI ACE RESPECT," "Tono Cascade IPA," and "HAZY GOOD 1." They also announced that the new releases turn over fast, so an early visit is recommended.
MugiIt's like a real-time button-mash game! M size starts at 650 yen, L size at 1,100 yen, and the canned Twilight Cascade is 355 ml for 770 yen including tax, which is great!
Hop BroWhat makes GOOD HOPS strong is that in Tono they handle everything from hop cultivation to brewing and research in-house. The taproom is within walking distance of the station, open on weekends and holidays from 11:00 to 18:00 (last order 17:30), so being able to drink local character right there is exciting.
MugiI've decided! This weekend, let's go be "twilight" in Tono! I'll make that my first drink, and hop bro, stop talking so much before we can toast!
