Hop BroNippori brewpub Okei Brewery Nippori has updated its taps for April 6. With 12 house brews plus 3 guest beers, today's lineup is especially fun for side-by-side tasting.
MugiWait, 12 house brews is a lot! Just looking at the menu is making my head spin a little. What kind of lineup is it?
Hop BroThey've got lager, Hazy, gose, saison, amber, and IPA, so the range is huge. And the one to watch is the Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge, which is apparently finished hazy with Galaxy.
MugiFinished hazy with Galaxy? Is that a space thing? Wait, is finished hazy supposed to taste good?
Hop BroHaha, not space, that's a hop variety. Hazy IPA is all about the haze and aroma, so doing a hop aroma comparison makes the differences easy to spot.
MugiI see! So if you compare it with Super Arakawa HAZY, you could have fun with the differences in aroma. This suddenly feels kind of scientific!
Hop BroExactly. The guest beers are interesting too. The DOUBLE DECKER IPA is a solid 8.0% beer, with a dark color and a hop-forward character.
Mugi8.0% is pretty strong! But if it's firmly hoppy, then it sounds satisfying. I feel like I'd be saying, 'One more!' after drinking it.
Hop BroOn the other hand, Katakabe Oktoberfest is a beer that puts malt sweetness front and center. There's even a suggestion to drink it in a chilled glass, so it's the kind of beer that slowly and quietly hits the spot.
MugiWow, just hearing malt sweetness makes me feel calm... And if White Grape Saison is in the mix too, the range of flavors is so wide that it sounds really fun.
Hop BroExactly. If you're looking to compare beers in Nippori, Okei Brewery Nippori is a strong pick. The appeal is that you can enjoy both the personality of the house brews and the breadth of the guest selections at the same time.
MugiIt's decided, I want to check all the beers next weekend! If we add food and take it easy, it'll definitely be happiness, right?
Hop BroYeah, if they have food for every beer, then it's basically a stay-a-while course. If you go, it's the kind of place where you'll want to keep drinking until the end.
