Hop BroDolphin Industry in Kagoshima's Tenmonkan has released its 7 new spring taps. You can really feel the keg turnover, and just looking at the lineup makes you want to drink.
MugiWhat, seven kinds? Seven total beers sounds like the kind of lineup that makes choosing fun before you even start!
Hop BroExactly. And the core is clearly an IPA-centered lineup. Minoh Beer, Open Air Brewing, and Kyoto Brewing are all there, so it's easy to compare each one's aroma personality.
MugiWait, what does that even mean? When there are lots of IPAs, what's different about them? Comparing hop aromas sounds kind of advanced!
Hop BroIt sounds difficult, but basically it means the hop aroma and bitterness come through differently. For example, Blooming IPA and Good times are both IPAs, but each leaves a different impression, which is fun.
MugiOhh! So if I taste them side by side, maybe even I can tell the difference. And Spring Whim IPA is such a perfectly moody name that I love it!
Hop BroWhat makes it even better is the addition of Lemongrass Herb Ale. It comes from Shiroyama Brewery, and its herbal freshness makes it easy to pair with food, so it makes you want to have it with a burger.
MugiWait, beer with herbs!? An easy-to-pair beer sounds like the kind of stylish maturity I wish I had...!
Hop BroThere is also a nice twist in Shiga Kogen Beer’s Wheat IPA w/ Apple. It layers apple notes over the softness of wheat, so even though it is an IPA, it is the kind you can drink very smoothly.
MugiWheat and apple? That sounds almost like dessert. If you tell me it has a soft mouthfeel, I want a sip first...!
Hop BroOn top of that, there are two more U.S. beers running low, so if you are interested, sooner is better. TRADEMARK BREWING's Ocean Thunder and Revision Brewing's Pacific static are the ones to go for if you are aiming in Tenmonkan.
MugiWhoa, then we have to hurry! I want to make tonight the kind of night where I can compare beers in Tenmonkan and seriously choose what to drink!
Hop BroThat's settled then. It's a tap list perfect for the season of parting and beginnings, so let's take our time with the first pint at Dolphin Industry today.
MugiYeah, we're definitely in drinking mode now! I already want to go on a spring tap crawl right now!

The first beer worth noting is Shiroyama Brewery’s “Lemongrass Herb Ale.” With the refreshing character of herbs coming through clearly, it is an easy choice to pair with food. The IPA section is especially strong, with Minoh Beer’s “Blooming IPA,” Open Air Brewing’s “Good times,” and Kyoto Brewing’s “Spring Whim IPA (refill keg),” putting three domestic breweries side by side.

Also, Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Swheat & sour / Wheat IPA w/ Apple” adds a twist, layering apple notes over the softness of wheat. In addition, the U.S. entries TRADEMARK BREWING’s “Ocean Thunder” and Revision Brewing’s “Pacific static” are marked as running low. If you are interested, an early visit would be the safest bet.
