Hop BroCraft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Kawasaki’s Nakahara Ward rolled out 7 taps on April 12. It’s a lineup with a pretty wide range, from hop-forward beers to malt-driven ones.
MugiWhoa, 7 taps open at once!? With that many, I’d probably be happy-drunk before I even decided what to order!
Hop BroThe first highlight is two beers from Hoppukotan Brewing. IN THE NAME OF KRUSH is a West Coast Pilsner, and Full Throttle is an American IPA. Both are the kind of beers where the bitterness really comes through cleanly.
MugiA West Coast Pilsner means it’s a pilsner that’s bitter? Huh, that name is already scrambling my brain!
Hop BroBasically, it takes the drinkability of a pilsner and adds the hop outline of a West Coast beer. In other words, it looks crisp, but the hops definitely make their presence known.
MugiI see! So it’s one that really hits for aroma lovers too. I’m curious about FLORA FERMENTATION’s two beers as well!
Hop BroExactly. FLORA FERMENTATION has Lupus -Strata- and Raven. A Single Hop Pale Ale and a West Coast IPA make a lineup that’s a great match for anyone who wants to enjoy bright, expressive aromatics.
MugiA Single Hop beer that puts one hop in the spotlight sounds like a science experiment, and that makes it exciting! Even the name feels stylish!
Hop BroAnd then there’s Ise Kadoya Beer’s Sencha Hazy IPA, which is really interesting. With a smooth mouthfeel, subtle tropical notes, and the refreshing aroma and bitterness from the tea leaves, it’s a pretty distinctive beer.
MugiSencha plus Hazy IPA is basically a Japanese-meets-tropical crossover! That’s definitely the kind of beer that makes you say, ‘Wait, what?’ on the first sip!
Hop BroOn top of that, there’s Black Tide Brewing’s Kesennuma Pride ver. 12.0, and even TKBrewing’s debut Onsight ESB. On weekends and holidays it’s open from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m., and they also do draft beer takeout, so it’s easy to plan a tasting session.
MugiWow, opening at 1 p.m. on weekends is huge! And if there’s even pet-friendly outdoor seating, I’d want to spend the day relaxing at Progress and head home after one more beer!
