MugiWait, Hoppy Weizen? A weizen where the hops take center stage!?
Hop BroExactly. It layers tropical and white-grape-like aromas onto the softness of a classic weizen.
MugiWhat, white-grape aroma? That’s suddenly way too stylish!
Hop BroThe base is the mellow body from the wheat, and the hop aroma floats over it, so it’s a finish that hop-aroma fans will love.
MugiBut wait, when you say light-drinking, doesn’t that mean it’s thin?
Hop BroNo, no. It means easy to drink. It’s not that the flavor is weak; the balance of crispness and aroma is good.
MugiI see! And they’ve got six draft beers inside too, right? It’s basically a tasting arena!
Hop BroRight, because they line up everything from IPA to lager, so you can choose based on your mood. The range is broad, like CRAFTROCK BREWING’s Dank City IPA and Kankiku Brewery’s SOYOKAZE.
MugiIf I can stop by after work for just one drink, that’s perfect. A tasting session starting with Hoppy Weizen makes me want to go right now!
Hop BroThen you’re left deciding whether to go all-in on aroma or finish with a lager. Tonight’s drink candidate just got a lot more serious.

Beer’s “Kurgantaite,” Y.MARKET BREWING’s “MASTERPIECE EXCEED,” and REPUBREW × Born in 91' - 92' Brewers’ “AGE AGE SAME AGE.” The selection spans IPA, Italian pilsner, English pale ale, hazy IPA, and Czech-style dark lager, making it a lineup you can compare across a wide range of styles.
