MugiHuh! But what is single hop anyway? That suddenly sounds all science-y! Does it mean they use only one kind of hop?
Hop BroExactly. If you limit it to one hop variety, it's easier to see the character of the aroma and bitterness. And since Shonan Beer is unfiltered and unpasteurized, it's easier to taste that live, fresh quality too.
MugiI get it, so that's why they're described as pure and fresh! It already sounds like it has that 'alive' feel from the first sip.

MugiWhoa, the snacks are well stocked too! And if they even have sandwiches, that's the kind of place you want to hang out at all afternoon.
