MugiWhoa! So it will be an outdoor festival booth, not just a place to buy beer?
Hop BroExactly. Expect craft beer, goods, Pakistani curry, a tufting workshop, and even a candy-shop DJ bar—a full day of culture.
MugiTufting is the rug-making thing, right? With a beer in hand, the yarn might start looking like hops! Drink, make, and dance!
Hop BroTokyo Aleworks beers listed for the event include Yuyake Amber Lager and Above the Clouds DH Golden Ale.
MugiWhat does DH mean? Double Hop? Like a Hop Bro cloning machine?
Hop BroClose—but it is the aroma that multiplies! DH means dry hopping: adding hops after fermentation to bring out vivid aromas.
MugiNice! So the Golden Ale is aroma-forward. What about the amber lager—is it a sunset-colored beer?
Hop BroThat is a fitting image. Amber lagers are often gently malty and toasty, making these two a great tasting pair.
MugiThey are bringing their Higashi-Nagasaki mix of standing beer, art, and culture into Ikebukuro. That sounds like a perfect city holiday!
Hop BroIt runs from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on May 2 at Ikebukuro Green Boulevard. Since offerings may change, check official updates first.
MugiGot it! Curry, rug-making, then a Tokyo Aleworks toast—I am ready to drink in Ikebukuro!
