Hop BroOn April 29 (Wednesday, national holiday), you can do a six-beer tasting comparison at the GOOD HOPS taproom. The new 'Tono no Kaze' is in the lineup too.
MugiWhat! Tono no Kaze? Just the name already has me curious. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroGOOD HOPS is a brewery in Tono, Iwate Prefecture that handles hop development and cultivation too. It puts the character of Japanese-grown hops front and center, and the taproom is open from 11:00 to 18:00, with last order at 17:30.
MugiHuh, it says they opened the shutters. Is that really such a big deal?
Hop BroIt is. They've opened it up since last week, so you can drink while looking out at the scenery outside, which means you can enjoy it together with the Tono landscape.
MugiThat's amazing! But what does MURAKAMI SEVEN IPA even mean? What's an IPA?
Hop BroIPA is a style that brings out hops' aroma and bitterness clearly, and it's a very hop-forward beer, just like GOOD HOPS. The other one, MURAKAMI SEVEN LAGER, leans crisper, so it's fun to compare them.
MugiI get it. Then with HAZY GOOD 2, does hazy mean something like clouds?
Hop BroExactly. It's the kind that looks cloudy and lets the aroma spread softly. This time, the HAZY GOOD 1, HAZY GOOD 2, and MOTUEKA RESPECT cans are on 10% off sale, and you can drink them in the taproom or take them home.
MugiWhat, the cans are cheaper too!? And they even have The Classic Hops. This is the kind of lineup that makes it impossible to decide!
Hop BroExactly. With the limited MURAKAMI SEVEN and Tono no Kaze in the mix, it's a setup that makes you want to compare them from noon.
MugiI know! I want to toast in Tono, and my mouth is already waiting for beer!
