Hop BroOn March 20, Vernal Equinox Day, Yatsugatake Brewery's TTO is coming to Sekimachi Cellar in Nerima. This is a must-clear-your-schedule situation!
MugiWait, TTO means the bar's taps get basically taken over?!
Hop BroExactly. This time there are 15 beers from core to limited releases, with Pilsner, Dunkel, and Kiyosato Lager all lined up at once.
MugiNo way! Rock Weizen, Yamanashi Peach Weizen, and even Fresh Yuzu Lager? That's way too much of a spring treat!
Hop BroAnd they also have Kiyosato IPL and Cold IPA, so the hop character really stands out. It's a lineup that makes beer comparison fly by.
MugiWait, what is IPL? A cousin of IPA? A relative of lager? My brain is foaming up!
Hop BroGood question. The quick way to remember IPL is "a hoppy beer brewed with lager yeast". In other words, it's a style aiming for crispness and aroma together.
MugiOh wow! And the brewery staff will be there serving, plus they're bringing original merchandise? This sounds fun on the level of a school festival!
Hop BroYou can experience Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown's "Malt Centric Brewing" in Tokyo, and even with the possibility of lineup changes, it's definitely worth going.
MugiIt's decided! I want to go after all 15 and pair them with food, so hop bro, let's do an opening-day sprint meetup!
