Hop BroToday’s topic is CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI near Funabashi Station, where Hoppokotan Brewery’s “Akaki wa Sake no Toga” just came on as a fresh new tap.
MugiWait, that name has final boss energy. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a Kamifuranian Rotbier, so think burnished copper color with malt taking the lead instead of the hops.
MugiWhat is a Rotbier anyway? It sounds like a spell, and I feel like I’d lose if I stumbled saying it.
Hop BroBasically, it’s a German-style red beer where toasty malt aroma is the main event, kind of like the crust of fresh bread.
MugiOhh! Then is it super bitter? Seeing an easy-drinking body makes me relax a little.
Hop BroThat’s the nice part. It goes down light but not thin, and gentle bitterness shines in a way that makes it great with food.
MugiAnd CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI has a bright room, you can watch the pour at the counter, and they serve pizza and fresh pasta too? That’s unfair!
Hop BroExactly. Pair it with one of their stretched-to-order pizzas and it becomes perfect with a meal. Honestly, now I want one too.
MugiNow my stomach and my throat are both yelling. If I saw that copper glow in Funabashi, I’d be saying I need a pint now.
