Hop BroCraftBeer Bar BRONX in Higashi-Urawa is coming through with continuous hours on 4/17. It’s open from 11:30 to 23:00, so it’s the kind of place that takes you from daytime drinking all the way to a nightcap.
MugiWait, that long!? From lunch to late night? That’s basically livable. And now I’m really curious about the tap list!
Hop BroThe highlights are FANTASMA from Y.MARKET BREWING, Imperial IPA from Baird Brewing, and Gekizaka Golden Mild Ale from Matsumoto Brewery. They’ve lined up a solid set of distinctive taps while keeping the strong core of Japanese craft beer that BRONX is known for.
MugiI can kind of get Imperial IPA, but Golden Mild Ale sounds gentle just from the name. Is a mild ale not bitter?
Hop BroMild ales are a style where malt sweetness and drinkability tend to stand out more than aggressive hop character. They often have a gentle, savory flavor, and Gekizaka is the kind of beer that sounds intimidating but is actually more of a mellow, tasty one.
MugiI see, I almost got fooled by the name! But Imperial IPA sounds like the final boss of a drama series.
Hop BroRight, IPAs usually bring out hop aroma and bitterness. What’s interesting in the article is that they even have a one-third mix using Maruefu and Kuro Nama.
MugiWhat’s a one-third mix!? That’s such a suddenly expert-sounding term that my brain is foaming up too!
Hop BroBasically, it’s one way of combining multiple beers when pouring and drinking. Mixing Kuro Nama with Maruefu changes the way the flavor shows up, so BRONX makes even standard beers fun to play with.
MugiAnd they even have Asahi Super Dry with a Kuroda pour, plus Extra Cold, Orion, and Urquell? That’s way too strong! I’d want to compare the standard lineup just as much as the craft beers!
Hop BroExactly. It has that hidden-gem atmosphere and also serves Okinawan food, so it’s a great place to take your time and enjoy drinks with a meal. If you want to compare beers in Higashi-Urawa, I think this is a very dependable spot.
MugiYeah, I want to go! I want to start with one drink in the afternoon and happily linger there until night.
