Hop BroDarumaya in Ikebukuro has launched six new Daruma Beer releases. You can dig through records while drinking them—what a great pairing.
MugiWhat? Beer at a record shop? Music and craft beer together sounds like a quick stop that turns into an all-day adventure!
Hop BroThey collaborated with VECTOR BREWING in Asakusabashi. Each color represents a different style, so it is perfect for a tasting flight.
MugiSix beers!? I want to start with the aromatic orange Hazy IPA! Does “hazy” mean it looks cloudy?
Hop BroExactly. A Hazy IPA keeps some haze and highlights juicy hop aromas. Cloudy in the glass, sunny in your mood.
MugiThat is beer poetry! Then the gold Strong Hazy IPA is extra intense in both flavor and excitement?
Hop BroNicely put. It should bring more alcohol presence and body—a bold, full-flavored pour to savor slowly. Pace yourself!
MugiI am curious about the pink Pink IPA! Is pink beer going to taste like strawberry milk?
Hop BroEnjoy its colorful, bright character alongside IPA-like hop flavor. The range also includes the light yellow Wheat Pale Ale, soft white Weizen, and classic red Pale Ale.
Mugi“Weizen” suddenly sounds like a spell! What does soft wheat flavor actually taste like?
Hop BroWeizen is a German-style wheat beer with a fluffy, gentle feel. Think of it as a soft, bread-like sip.
MugiWith paid tastings, I want little pours of every color while choosing an LP! And they have the ROUGH TRADE 50th-anniversary beer too?
Hop BroThey do—an especially appealing pour for music fans. Daruma Beer also makes a nice gift, and now I want a record-and-six-beer toast in Ikebukuro.
MugiDone! Pink, orange, white… actually, all of them! Let’s grab beer and fresh LPs and make it the best detour ever!
