Hop BroWhat CRAFTSMAN in Yokohama introduced was the Black Tide Brewing x Teenage Brewing collaboration, "Heaven's Age." It's a Milky Hazy IPA at 6.5% ABV, which is pretty intriguing.
MugiWhoa, what's a milky Hazy supposed to mean? Is it fluffy and sweet, or does it actually have milk in it?!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: it uses milk and oat protein to give it a subtly milky mouthfeel. Rather than being cloyingly sweet, it's more like a soft, smooth drinking experience.
MugiOat protein sounds like some fancy health-food ingredient all of a sudden! But if it has a soft mouthfeel, maybe even people who don't usually like beer could drink it?
Hop BroExactly. On top of that, the hop's tropical aroma comes through, so the first impression is bright and easy to drink. If you picture mango or pineapple-like aromas, you're close.
MugiWow, like fruit! But it doesn't stay sweet the whole way through, right? I read it has a bitterness in the finish!
Hop BroThat's right. The design of this beer is to finish with a firm bitterness at the end. It's soft and milky at first, but crisp at the close, with a nice sense of contrast.
MugiOhhh! And it's a second-floor spot in the Yokohama Station West Exit area, right? If you can drink with a meal, that's the kind of place where I'd end up staying forever!
Hop BroThat's CRAFTSMAN's strength: the tap list is really well stocked. It's not just domestic labels either; they say they also pour beers from New Zealand, Belgium, Canada, Scotland, Spain, and Oregon, which makes it the kind of place that tempts you to hop around from one beer to the next.
MugiWow, that's like traveling the world by origin! Then tonight, I want to go for Heaven's Age as the main target and do some side-by-side tasting too. My throat is already calling for beer!
Hop BroIt's settled then. Let's start by toasting with Heaven's Age, then look over the taps and choose the next pint. Nights like this are when beer conversation never stops.
