Hop BroThe news that Neko no Shukai-jo in Umegaoka opens at 3 p.m. really hits for people who want to drink from the afternoon. And on top of that, there are six taps that day, with CRAFTROCK and Shiga Kogen on the list.
MugiWait, so it’s a daytime beer style!? Being able to drink from 3 p.m. makes me feel like I already worked hard enough!
Hop BroExactly, and the lineup is interesting too. There’s Lagna as a West Coast Pilsner, Luna as a Dark Lager, and even SNOW MONKEY IPA Gin as a Hazy IPA, so the range is pretty wide.
MugiWhat even is a West Coast Pilsner!? Is it pilsner but with hop character? The name alone is already packed with information!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it’s like taking the drinkability of a pilsner and adding the citrusy hop aroma and crispness of West Coast styles. So it’s light and easy to drink, but still makes a clear statement through its aroma.
MugiI see! So Luna’s Dark Lager and Cascara’s Dunkel are the kind you enjoy for their malty roastiness. Now I’m starting to want snacks too!
Hop BroThat’s right. And since you can choose from three sizes, plus take it to go in a cup, it’s easy to enjoy depending on your mood. What’s stylish is that it’s not just about drinking inside the shop.
MugiWait, they have cans and bottles too!? Being able to enjoy even the time spent looking at the labels is basically the gateway to a beer rabbit hole!
Hop BroExactly, and they’re also selling cat goods, so the cat-inspired atmosphere is fully there. It’s the kind of place where you’d want to linger casually while pairing craft beer with spice food.
MugiNear Umegaoka Station, with that vibe, it’s perfect for an early first drink. And hearing that the cat goods are available until May 22 makes me feel like I need to go now!
Hop BroIn the end, the six-tap lineup and the atmosphere are both really appealing, right? Today, I’m already in the mood for a drink at the cat-friendly beer pub.
MugiSame! I’m totally torn between starting with the Shiga Kogen IPA or taking it slow with Luna first!
