Hop BroTHE DODO HOUSE in Meguro rolled out eight domestic craft beers in its April 11 update. From lager to hazy IPA, the lineup has a lot of range, so today’s selection looks especially fun to build a drinking session around.
MugiWhoa, eight kinds? With everything from lager to dark beer, I’d be totally lost trying to choose my first drink!
Hop BroThe main draw is how easy they are to drink. It’s great that it includes Kankiku 99 Lager and Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s Miyazaki Grapefruit White Lager. It feels very much like a beer pub that pairs naturally with meals.
MugiBut what even is IPL? Ishinomaki Seabreeze IPL sounds like you’re drinking the sea breeze itself!
Hop BroIPL stands for India Pale Lager. Think of it as a lager with hop aroma. It has the aromatic appeal of an IPA, but still keeps the crisp finish of a lager, so it’s perfect as a first drink.
MugiOhh, so something like Noboru Brewing’s Noboru is one of those beers where you can play around with aroma. That sounds as fun as picking wine at a wine bar!
Hop BroExactly. And there are also beers like Anglo Japanese Brewing’s Cosmic Night and Lemon Hazy IPA that put aroma front and center. Hazy beers are not just about their cloudy look, but also their smooth mouthfeel and juicy character.
MugiSmooth and juicy? That’s basically the beer world’s fruit jelly! Yuzu Oroshi Udon Hazy IPA sounds like it would make me hungry just from the name!
Hop BroThat’s what makes THE DODO HOUSE interesting: it pairs well with Japanese-Western fusion dishes. And since wine also pairs perfectly with the food, it’s a great place to relax and enjoy drinks at an easy pace.
MugiAnd if they have Baeren Brewery’s Baeren Schwarz, then you can really savor the rich depth of malt too. Having everything from light styles to deeper flavors feels kind of thoughtful.
Hop BroYeah, and in Meguro’s calm atmosphere, the fact that it’s a place with fast tap turnover makes checking the lineup early important. Starting with a lager tonight and finishing with a schwarz sounds like a pretty complete plan.
MugiI’ve decided! Tonight I’m having a drink in Meguro no, I mean two! If they show me a lineup like this, there’s no way I’m not going out for drinks!
