Hop BroToday I want to talk about Beer Stand Tsubamenosu in Sumiyoshi, because its taps are basically set to summer mode.
MugiWait, really? In Sumiyoshi? What does a summer-ready lineup even look like?
Hop BroThe headliner is Minoh Beer's Hoppy Weizen, a weizen layered with bright hop character.
MugiHold on, weizen yeast sounds like you just opened a brewing textbook. What does that taste like for normal humans?
Hop BroSimple version: it's a wheat-beer style, and the yeast throws off a banana-like aroma that makes it soft and easy to drink.
MugiWhoa, and then the hops add a white grape note on top of that? Why is this beer so elegant?
Hop BroExactly. And the other taps are solid too: Heartland, Isekadoya's Classic Pale Ale, Mr.DANK, and Minamishinshu Beer's Apple Hop Fuji.
MugiWhat is this lineup! You could start with lager, move to pale ale, then finish with a fruity apple beer like some kind of pro route.
Hop BroThat's the smart part. The list is balanced so you can drink through it easily after work, and they're even open through Obon on the regular schedule.
MugiThat helps a lot! Closed Sundays and holidays, sure, but Monday to Saturday from 6 p.m. to midnight still sounds like a great after-work stop.
Hop BroAnd looping back to Hoppy Weizen at the end totally works too. Soft mouthfeel, tropical edges, basically a locked-in summer pint.
MugiSold. I'm starting with Heartland and finishing with Hoppy Weizen. At this point I want a glass now.
