Hop BroToday's topic is the guest beer at Taru Taru in Kawaramachi, Takamatsu: OTAGO, a dank IPA.
MugiWhat! Taru Taru is that beer pub in Takamatsu, right? Even the name sounds fun!
Hop BroExactly. It has five taps centered on Kagawa beer, lamb dumplings, a bottle shop, and the best part is you can drop in from 3 p.m.
MugiDaytime craft beer already sounds perfect! So OTAGO is from which brewery again?
Hop BroIt's from Atsumi Peninsula Brewing Co. in Aichi, and OTAGO feels like a sharply defined IPA.
MugiWow! But when you say “dank,” I picture a slam-dunk aroma, and now I'm confused!?
Hop BroHere's the thing: in beer, dank means grassy, resinous, deep hop aroma, so you can think of it as a bold hop character.
MugiOhhh, got it! And it's not just aroma, right? It also has a strong bitterness with a crisp finish?
Hop BroExactly. It stands up well to rich food, so the article's mention of pairing with bone-in gai yang makes a lot of sense.
MugiThat should be illegal. Now I want lamb dumplings or gai yang with the guest beer OTAGO immediately!
Hop BroAnd Taru Taru rotates its taps, so when you visit, you should definitely check the lineup of the day too.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. At Taru Taru, with food and a pint right now, I'd be completely happy!
