Hop BroThis is a new-tap news item from Ikebukuro East Exit: Minoh Beer’s "Session Black IPA" has been tapped at vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR.
MugiWhoa! "Black" and "session" sounds kind of contradictory, doesn’t it? Like it’s supposed to be strong, but light?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: "session" leans toward easy drinking, while Black IPA is a style that carries roasted malt aroma. So it’s basically a lively Black IPA.
MugiRoasted malt, like coffee? And it has hop aroma too? That’s a lot of information!
Hop BroGood point. Roasted malt is malt that’s been toasted, and it gives off savoriness and a gentle richness. When that’s layered with hop aroma, you get both soft richness and brightness.
MugiWow! And the place has 20 draft beers on tap, which sounds like a fun one just to choose from.
Hop BroExactly. vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR’s strength is being able to compare different beers through dedicated taps. It’s nice that you can pick a pint to savor slowly in a relaxed space.
MugiAnd the food is strong too! Fish and chips with house-made tartar sauce and other beer-friendly dishes sound insanely good!
Hop BroThe roasted character of a Black IPA goes great with fried food and pizza. The article’s lineup is also a full spread of diverse labels, and the appeal is that the options are broad, not just Minoh Beer.
MugiMakes sense, that’s almost unfair in Ikebukuro. I already want to toast with a Black IPA tonight!
