Hop BroAt Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Musashi-Kosugi, SNOW MONKEY IPA 2026 has been tapped. It's a guest beer from Tamamura Honten, and this time it's the Silver Label.
MugiWhoa! Silver Label already sounds powerful! And I really want to try it at Progress.
Hop BroThe style is a Hazy IPA, 6.0%, with IBU21. It's designed around citrus like grapefruit, layered with aromas like lychee and white peach.
MugiIBU21? What's that supposed to mean? Does a lower number mean it's not bitter?
Hop BroBasically, it's a rough indicator of moderate bitterness. And this time they bumped the bitterness up a bit from last year and fine-tuned the balance with the beer's bright, aromatic character.
MugiI see! If it has both a hint of sweetness and a dry finish, it sounds easy to drink without feeling thin!
Hop BroExactly. And Progress is re-announcing it because it sold out quickly at the main Bucket location. For anyone who missed it, this is a much-awaited return.
MugiWow, it was that popular? Then if I see it, I have to order it right away, assuming it'll sell out!
Hop BroPlus, Progress is cashless only, and you can also take draft beer to go. The outdoor seats allow pets, so it's easy to drop by casually.
MugiA drink after work in Musashi-Kosugi sounds amazing! If takeout is allowed, I can even do home drinking too. That's unfair!
Hop BroIt was announced for May 15, Friday, from 16:00 to 23:00, so the timing is perfect too. One drink at Progress tonight, and maybe another tomorrow would be a good flow.
MugiWhoa, I really want to drink that fruit-forward SNOW MONKEY IPA right now! Hop bro, let's go together tonight. My throat is already waiting for beer!
