Hop BroAt Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi, they’re bringing in an Oofujitsubo live performance. It’s one of those seriously exciting events where you can enjoy the whole atmosphere of Yomise-dori.
MugiHuh! There’s beer too, even though it’s a live show? They’re selling CDs and beer as well? That’s way too packed with stuff!
Hop BroExactly. The venue is in front of Liquors Nodaya, right next to the shop, and it’s scheduled to start around 3 p.m. It has that neighborhood-event feel, which makes it easy to just drop by.
MugiWait, there are so many beers slated to be tapped that my head can’t keep up! What does Songbird's Wheat even taste like?
Hop BroWheat beer uses wheat, so it often has a soft texture and a rounded mouthfeel. Then Shingetsu Beer’s Session IPA comes in, so it covers both aroma and drinkability.
MugiSession IPA sounds strong just from the name, but it’s easy to drink? I always get a little confused about what session means!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it’s about aiming for something light and easy to drink over a long stretch. And this time there’s even a Session Saison, so you can enjoy a style with more expressive yeast aroma too.
MugiWow, just seeing Ushitora Brewery’s name gets me excited! I’m curious about Doroyoi too, and it sounds like it might get me a little tipsy, which somehow makes it sound even tastier!
Hop BroOn top of that, there’s Shiga Kogen Beer’s HOUSE LAGER 2.02 Kinmon Nishiki, Hansharo Beer’s Iza Kakan, Hop Kotan Brewing’s HOP IN MY HEAD, and Draft Pale Ale waiting in the wings. It’s a lineup that really shows the range of Japanese craft beer all at once.
MugiWith the excitement of the live show, everything will probably taste even better! If it’s all consolidated into event service, that actually makes it feel more special.
Hop BroAnd the post also says they won’t operate as usual after the live show, plus there’s a temporary closure from June 5 to June 9. If you’re going, make sure you lock in the dates, because this is the kind of place that makes you want one more drink today.
MugiAll right, this one has to go on the schedule! Being able to enjoy music and beer on the street together sounds like it would make the whole walk home happy too!
