Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand posts Aug. 14 tap list with eight beers
The Komagome brewpub Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand shared its Aug. 14 tap list. Eight beers are on tap, led by the new Saburo Hazy, alongside an Italian Pilsner, multiple IPAs, a pineapple gose, and a Belgian stout.
Hop BroKomagome is looking dangerous today, because Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand just dropped its August 14 tap list. Eight beers are on, including the new Saburo Hazy, and the spread is huge.
MugiWait, eight beers on tap? That is not a lineup, that is a beer amusement park! And there is a new release too!?
Hop BroThe headliner has to be Saburo Hazy. It is a 7% Hazy IPA with a cloudy look and a bright, expressive hop aroma.
MugiWhoa, but Hazy IPA sounds like a drink from some magical fog forest. Why does that style name feel so dramatic!?
Hop BroWhat it really means is juicy hop character. Usually softer bitterness, fruitier aroma, and a smoother mouthfeel from hops and yeast.
MugiOkay, then Little Thing sounds like my starter. A Dry Hopped Session Ale at 4.5% feels perfect for the first glass!
Hop BroExactly, and Ryusui Soso #2 as an Italian Pilsner is a great curveball. You get crisp lager snap with extra hop aroma, and that is where dry hopping comes in.
MugiHold on, dry hopping again! You toss that term out like it is as casual as ordering fries!
Hop BroIt means adding hops later in fermentation to boost the aroma without stacking on too much bitterness. That is how citrusy or herbal notes really pop.
MugiWhat is this lineup! I want an IPA tasting run with Saburo Hazy, Mashup IPA Ekuanot, and Rolling Lolly, then somehow still save room for Pineapple Gose and Kurotobi #4!
Hop BroAnd because it goes from light to full, I want to follow the whole arc from Komagome Best Bitter to Kurotobi #4, that Belgian Stout. I am fully ready for a pint now.
MugiThat settles it. I want the beer-first pub experience, and once you add the Sengoku TOAST bread pop-up on August 15, my stomach and my pint hand are both ready!
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, posted its tap list for Friday, Aug. 14. The brewpub is open from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays and is closed on Wednesdays. For this service, eight beers are listed on tap out of ten lines.
Today's tap list
- Little Thing / Dry Hopped Session Ale, 4.5%
- (NEW) Saburo Hazy / Hazy IPA, 7%
- Ryusososo #2 / Italian Pilsner, 5.5%
- Mashup IPA Ekuanot / Belgian IPA, 6.5%
- Rolling Lolly / American IPA, 7.5%
- Pineapple Gose / Gose style with pineapple, 5%
- Komagome Best Bitter / English Best Bitter, 4.5%
- Kurotobi #4 / Belgian Stout, 7%
The lineup stretches from a dry-hopped session ale to a Belgian stout, with several hop-forward styles in between. That makes it a good stop for drinkers who want to compare different IPA expressions, while also leaving room for a pilsner, a bitter, and a darker finish.
As a brewpub, Hinomoto keeps the focus on beer rather than a full food menu, which makes the tap list itself the main attraction. A taproom pop-up featuring bread from Sengoku TOAST is also scheduled for Aug. 15, adding a food pairing angle for the following day.
