Hop BroToday I’m talking about how RaR Brewing and Brujos Brewing’s "Personal Plague" has landed at Two Fingers in Nishi-Ikebukuro. It’s a double Hazy IPA, and even the name sounds ominous in the best possible way.
MugiHuh? Personal Plague sounds like a disease, but it’s beer!? And a double Hazy IPA too? That’s already way too much information, and my head is getting all floaty.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It has 8.5% richness, and it’s not just heavy for the sake of being heavy. It’s the kind that really shows off the hops.
MugiWhat do you mean, the hops show off their faces!? Does beer have a face!? I still can’t see the expression of the hops at all.
Hop BroFor example, Citra, Riwaka, Motueka, and NZ Cascade layer together and create a tropical aroma. It gives off pineapple and apricot-like notes, so you start feeling like you’re in the tropics before you even take a sip.
MugiOhhh! So is it like juice? But if it has oats too, then it sounds like a full-bodied beer and that makes it sound really good!
Hop BroExactly. The oats round out the mouthfeel and balance density with juiciness. It has substantial drinkability, so it’s not just the aroma that’s fun, but also the presence it leaves on your tongue.
MugiWow, so if you drink this, your mouth becomes a hop festival! And Two Fingers is the kind of place you can just drop into in Ikebukuro, but it’s great that it’s tap-list-centered too.
Hop BroExactly. It’s in Nish-Ikebukuro 3-chome, it works as a starting point for bar-hopping around the station, and I think it’s a really good place to follow new collaborations.
MugiI’ve been curious about both RaR Brewing and Brujos Brewing, so this makes me want to follow along. I’m already in the mood to drink for the aroma today!
Hop BroThat settles it. On a beer-as-the-star kind of day, I’d want to slowly enjoy "Personal Plague" at Two Fingers. I want to head straight to the tap right now too.
MugiYeah, yeah, this is definitely one of those beers! First, I want to toast with a glass while checking out the fruity finish.
