Hop BroToday’s star is Tokyo's Beer Cafe Gambrinus. For the May 11 draft lineup, Hop Kotan Brewing's 'Seiran' is being tapped today.
MugiWhoa! Seiran already sounds powerful! But does a Cold IPA mean a beer that's kind of like cold ice cream?
Hop BroGood catch. A Cold IPA is a style that keeps the drinking feel light and crisp while still letting the hop aroma stand out.
MugiOhh! So it's perfect for this season as it gets hotter. The name and the taste both sound refreshing, and now I want one!
Hop BroExactly. And on the same taps, there's a lineup from hazy to porter. From U.B.P Brewery to Craft Beer Base, the range is what makes it interesting.
MugiWhat is this, the menu is already a beer culture festival! Hazy Double IPA and Robust Porter... just reading the names is enough to get my brain tipsy!
Hop BroAnd the 'Coming Soon!' section is strong too. On deck as next draft candidates are Minoh's Kozaru IPA, Ushitora's Ushitora-Man Dyna, and Outsider's Juicy IPA.
MugiUshitora-Man already sounds like a superhero name! If beers like that keep coming in, I'll want to keep going back!
Hop BroThis is strong in Kokubunji. Since the hours are 5:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., you can drop in after work and start with Seiran.
MugiWow, I want to go right now... I want to go look for today's pour and compare beers with Hop-senpai at Gambrinus!
