Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand lists 10 taps for June 25, with seasonal Shinshu eggplant
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Bunkyo, Tokyo, shared its June 25 Thursday service update alongside a 10-beer tap list. Seasonal Shinshu water eggplant from Osaka also arrived, adding a distinctive snack pairing to the lineup.
Hop BroToday, Honkomagome’s Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand posted its June 25 hours, 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., along with a 10-tap lineup.
MugiWhat! Ten beers on draft? I feel like I already made a toast just by reading the menu!
Hop BroThe headline group is IPA-heavy: Seiten Raimei #2 is a West Coast IPA, Rolling Lolly is an American IPA, and EL BAMP HAZY is a Hazy IPA, basically a triple 7% punch.
MugiWait, what! West Coast IPA and Hazy IPA? Those names alone sound like you’re about to start a full beer lecture!
Hop BroIn simple terms, West Coast IPA is crisp and bitter, Hazy IPA is cloudy and juicy, and American IPA balances aroma and bitterness, so in every case hops are the star.
MugiOhh! An aroma-center showdown makes it sound like the hops are auditioning for the lead role!
Hop BroBut Hinomoto isn’t all high impact. Ryusui Soso #2 is an Italian Pilsner, Komagome Best Bitter keeps things easy, and with Yunosu Saison plus Kurotobi #4, there’s real range in the tap list.
MugiThat helps! And if Senshu mizunasu eggplant is in too, I can start with kaki-bee or dagashi and then suddenly become very seasonal!
Hop BroExactly. There’s also a tapas pop-up on June 27 and 28, plus snack projects and music events in July, so it’s a place worth tracking, and I already want Seiten Raimei #2 with mizunasu.
MugiThen it’s settled! I’m opening with Ryusui Soso #2 and finishing on EL BAMP HAZY. I want a pint right now and I’m not even pretending to resist!
