Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Nakahara Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, will be open on Monday, April 6, from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The lineup includes Shiga Kogen Beer’s 'SNOW MONKEY IPA,' NOMCRAFT Brewing’s 'Blazing Rabbit,' and Shonan Beer’s HAZY IPA, making it a chance to enjoy comparing beers in the same style.
Hop BroOn Monday, April 6, Progress taps three beers. This is a lineup HAZY IPA fans can't miss. At Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Nakahara Ward, Kawasaki City, Shiga Kogen Beer, NOMCRAFT Brewing, and Shonan Beer all came together at once.
MugiWait, three HAZY IPAs!? Being able to compare them all at one place is seriously luxurious!
Hop BroExactly. First up is Shiga Kogen Beer’s SNOW MONKEY IPA, with citrus notes, firm bitterness, and a dry finish as its hallmarks. Even though it’s hazy, it’s easy to drink without getting palate fatigue, which is what makes it so good.
MugiDry finish? What does that even mean? It suddenly feels like the beer started acting cool!
Hop BroSimply put, it means the aftertaste is clean and doesn't linger heavily. Some HAZY beers lean into sweetness and richness, but SNOW MONKEY IPA lets you enjoy the citrus aroma and ends crisply.
MugiI see! So what’s NOMCRAFT Brewing’s Blazing Rabbit like? The name already sounds energetic!
Hop BroThis one has a rich tropical fruit aroma, and while it has plenty of body, it finishes cleanly. It’s flashy, but it goes down smoothly, so you keep reaching for the next sip.
MugiWhat, that sounds super easy to drink! And if there’s even Shonan Beer’s HAZY IPA, you can compare the aromas, right?
Hop BroThat’s the fun of this lineup. If you line them up and compare the way the bitterness shows up, the direction of the aroma, and the fullness of the mouthfeel, you’ll see that even within the same HAZY IPA style, they have completely different personalities. Progress can be enjoyed like a beer pub, and since it’s also a bottle shop you can take drinks home, it’s great for really taking your time with them.
MugiAnd it opens at 4:00 p.m. on weekdays, which makes it perfect for stopping by after work! Outdoor seating allows pets, and there are even leash hooks. It’s like a bundle of kindness!
Hop BroPlus it accepts cashless payments, so it’s nice that you can just drop in for a single drink. Today is definitely a perfect day for a tasting, so I’d start with SNOW MONKEY IPA, move on to Blazing Rabbit, and finish with Shonan Beer.
MugiDeal! On a day like this, I want to conquer all three! I can't wait to dive into that wave of aromas at Progress!
On Monday, April 6, from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., three beers centered on HAZY IPAs were tapped at Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Kawasaki’s Nakahara Ward. In addition to the enjoyment of a beer pub, this is a place that also functions as a bottle shop, so it can be used for everything from a post-work drink to a casual tasting flight.
The first beer to stand out in this tap lineup is Shiga Kogen Beer’s 'SNOW MONKEY IPA.' The shop’s description highlights citrus character, firm bitterness, and a dry finish, presenting it as an easy pick even for people who tend to get fatigued by hazy beers. Because it is a popular label, it seems wise to check it out early.
The other beer is NOMCRAFT Brewing’s 'Blazing Rabbit.' It is described as having a rich tropical fruit aroma and a finish that is both substantial and clean. Also on tap is Shonan Beer’s HAZY IPA, and the highlight of this lineup is how easy it is to compare differences in aroma, bitterness, and mouthfeel within the same style.
Progress opens at 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and 1:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays, and only accepts cashless payments. The outdoor seating area allows pets, and leash hooks are available. Since it offers not only drinks by the glass inside the shop but also draft beer to go, one of its attractions is the range of ways you can enjoy it. This time’s lineup is suited to people who want to quietly compare the character of each brewery through HAZY IPAs as the focus.
