Good Hops to Offer Three New Beers at Its Taproom on May 23 and 24
Good Hops in Tono, Iwate Prefecture, has released information on its weekend taproom hours for May 23 and 24. It will be open from 11:00 to 18:00, with last orders at 17:30. This weekend's tap list will feature three new releases.
Hop BroThis weekend's star is the Good Hops taproom in Tono, Iwate Prefecture. On May 23 and 24, they're serving up a tap list that includes three new releases.
MugiWhoa! Tono already has a hops image, and now three new beers are appearing too? That alone makes my weekend plans heavily beer-focused!
Hop BroAnd it's open from 11:00 to 18:00, with L.O. at 17:30. That's the perfect time range for enjoying the taproom from midday onward.
MugiL.O.? What's that, a lightning quiz buzzer? Oh, you mean last order, right? If it's 17:30, show up late and you'll be done before the toast!
Hop BroExactly. And the beers to watch are Do Good, Tono Belgian IPA, and Hajimari no IPA. Even the names have personality, so a side-by-side tasting should be fun.
MugiWhat? Belgian IPA? How is that different from a regular IPA? It already sounds stylish from the name alone, and my vocabulary can't keep up!
Hop BroBroadly speaking, an IPA often adds the hop aroma to spicy and fruity notes from Belgian yeast. In Good Hops's case, the key point is how they make Tono-grown hops shine.
MugiHuh, so it's not just about putting out new beers; it also conveys that they're serious about Japanese hops. Even after the one-year anniversary campaign ended, it feels like they're clearly moving on to the next stage!
Hop BroThe tap list for Saturday, May 23, also includes The Classic Hops, Trinity, and Vista Fusion, so the lineup of core beers and new releases is pretty interesting too.
MugiAnd the cans are listed at easy-to-buy prices, right? Then it's just as good to drink there and head home, or take some back and enjoy them slowly at home.
Hop BroBottom line: this is the kind of weekend where a beer enjoyed at the taproom fits best, while you feel the atmosphere of Tono. It makes you want to go, drink, and follow Good Hops into its second year together.
MugiYeah, it really makes me want to say, 'This weekend, let's go to Tono!' I'll start with Do Good, so hop brother, you take care of the most niche one!
Good Hops, which cultivates hops and also works on developing new varieties in Tono, Iwate Prefecture, announced taproom information for May 23 and 24. In a post on its official Instagram account, it said it will again be open this weekend from 11:00 to 18:00, with last orders at 17:30.
The post also mentioned that the one-year anniversary campaign, which had continued since Golden Week, ended last week. Looking back on its first year of operation, it was striking how clearly the brewery reaffirmed its commitment to keep working with Japanese hops in its second year. On its official website as well, Good Hops is introduced as a brewery in Tono that not only brews beer, but also advances research into new hop varieties, cultivation, and processing techniques.
This weekend's taproom lineup will include the following three new releases.
- `Do Good`
- `Tono Belgian IPA`
- `Hajimari no IPA`
The tap list for Saturday, May 23, will also include `The Classic Hops`, `Trinity`, and `Vista Fusion` alongside the new releases. Canned beers are listed with tax-included prices, such as `Do Good` and `Tono Belgian IPA` at 750 yen each, `Tono no Kaze` at 770 yen, `The Classic Hops` at 750 yen, and `Twilight Cascade` at 770 yen.
Rather than flashy presentation, this is a post that carefully spells out what you can taste at the shop over the weekend, and it clearly shows this brewery's core focus: how to turn hops grown in Tono into beer. Through a pint enjoyed at the taproom, it looks like this weekend will offer a chance to see how Good Hops is moving into its second year.
