Hop BroYokkaichi's craft beer HOP CROWD just rolled out a June 19 tap update. It really leans into the rainy-season mood in a good way.
MugiWhat! Enjoying the rainy gloom is such a stylish concept. So these are beers for sticky, drizzly days?
Hop BroThe headliners are Oni Densetsu's Kin-Oni Pale Ale Eldorado ver. and West Coast Brewing's Starwatcher Tsuyu. The first is a Pale Ale, the second is a West Coast IPA.
MugiWhoa! But West Coast IPA already sounds intense. How is it different from a regular IPA?
Hop BroStarwatcher Tsuyu is a twist on their flagship with Citra Hyperboost added, so the hop profile comes out really sharp. Basically, the citrus aroma snaps into focus.
MugiWhat does hop profile comes out even mean? Why am I picturing hops posing for an ID photo?
Hop BroIt just means the aroma doesn't feel muddy. And Kin-Oni is pitched as a Pale Ale for summer heat, so it sounds perfect for this season.
MugiThat sounds easy to drink! And with Isekadoya's Lush Hop IPA plus Neko Beer's golden ale, the cute and serious mix on one tap list is kind of amazing.
Hop BroThey even snuck in a long-named beer from Dok Brewing, and that one Dutch guest really widens the range. You've got IPA, golden ale, and dark beer all covered.
MugiI'd probably trip over the name ordering it, but this is clearly a tasting-flight paradise. I love a place where you can pick by mood.
Hop BroHours are 4:00 p.m. to midnight Tuesday through Saturday, and 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Sunday, so it's great for day drinking to nightcaps. They're closed June 28 and June 30, but I'm already wanting Kin-Oni followed by Starwatcher Tsuyu.
MugiI'm done for, I want HOP CROWD now. Let's argue over whether to start with Kin-Oni or Starwatcher Tsuyu and then just toast.
