MugiWhoa! Tono is famous for hops, right? What kind of beer is FRESH GREEN?
Hop BroIt is a fresh-hop ale made with Compact Green, a new hop variety. It is all about that vivid, just-harvested hop character.
MugiWhat makes fresh hops different? Does freshness change the flavor that much?
Hop BroMost hops are dried and processed, while fresh hops preserve more of their harvest-time character. Think a bright green aroma from the field in your glass!
MugiThat sounds amazing! I might start running through a hop field before my first sip. Tono breeze in every gulp!
Hop BroMaybe sip first, run later. Along with FRESH GREEN, they will pour six beers on tap, including uncountable Pale Ale and Pacific Lines.
MugiSix choices? I cannot choose! And the taproom is about two minutes from Tono Station—plus you can look at the brewing equipment!
Hop BroGOOD HOPS handles cultivation, research, processing, and brewing. That integrated hop-making approach helps each variety shine in the beer.
MugiThey are basically hop scientists! But what if I cannot get to Tono? Please save my refrigerator too!
Hop BroThey ship cans nationwide. FRESH GREEN and HOP FARMERS IPA, their regular beer made with 100% Tono-grown hops, are now in the lineup. Keep them refrigerated!
MugiI also want to catch the Tokyo tap takeovers and future Nagoya and Nihonbashi events! Let’s check social media and make a weekend toast plan!
