Hop BroSomething interesting is happening in Kichijoji, you know. Six beers are on tap at Craft Beer Market Atre Kichijoji, and just seeing VERTERE and Shiga Kogen Beer on the list makes the tap list feel packed.
MugiWait, all at once!? A lineup like that right next to Kichijoji Station is the kind of thing that just pulls you in while you're out shopping!
Hop BroExactly. And the headliners are all there too. VERTERE's Iris IPA, Baird Beer's Shuzenji Heritage Helles, Gotemba Kogen Beer's Schwarz, Shiga Kogen Beer's DPA, Minoh Beer's Osaru IPA, and Baird's Suruga Bay Imperial IPA.
MugiWhat is that! IPA and DPA and all that, it suddenly sounds like a code! Is beer a world where people speak in letters!?
Hop BroNice reaction. IPA is a style where hop aroma and bitterness stand out, while DPA is a dry, brisk pale ale-style drink, so the appeal is its balance of drinkability and aroma.
MugiOhhh! Then Iris IPA's clean, crisp finish sounds perfect for the first glass. I think I really like that it isn't too heavy but still has real aroma!
Hop BroExactly. And this time you can choose based on mood, because they have everything from Helles with a focus on smooth drinkability to the roasted flavor of Schwarz and the stronger body of an Imperial IPA.
MugiWait, they even have a dark beer!? Is Schwarz one of those beers that looks heavy but is actually easy to drink?
Hop BroThat's right. Even if it looks calm and dark, Schwarz is often surprisingly easy to drink, and since the shop's concept is popular French, pairing it with food should be a lot of fun too.
MugiI see! So it's not just about beer, but also about having fun comparing beers with food. Being able to stop by right from the station is almost unfairly convenient!
Hop BroExactly that. If you're going after domestic craft beer in Kichijoji, this is one of the first places to consider. Reading this makes me want to start with the Iris IPA.
MugiI get it! I'm in the mood to decide on the first beer right now. Today in Kichijoji, let's start with something crisp and raise a glass!
