Hop BroThere’s a tap takeover in Kichijoji. North Island Beer from Ebetsu, Hokkaido, is doing it with DD4D BREWING from May 1 to 3.
MugiWait, Hokkaido in Kichijoji!? And DD4D is joining too? My mind is already starting the toast!
Hop BroNorth Island started in Sapporo in 2003 and moved to Ebetsu in 2009. Their guiding idea is Beer is Art, which is pretty cool.
MugiBeer is Art? What is that? Suddenly beer sounds like an artwork, and I’m getting nervous just thinking about drinking it!
Hop BroBasically, it means they make beer like a work of art, not just in taste but in aroma, appearance, and design too. And using wheat from Ebetsu and ingredients from Hokkaido is a big part of their strength.
MugiOhhh! So the lineup of beers on tap this time is pretty serious. Just the names alone could get me through a whole round!
Hop BroExactly. They’ll have Sapa Inkaq Quri, an imperial pilsner, BROWN ALE, Session IPA, North Meets South 2nd, a Belgian fruit wit, Bokura to, Neko, GinZY, Glide Drive, and Coriander Black.
MugiWait, GinZY? What even is that! The name already sounds sparkly, and hazy IPA is the cloudy kind, right?
Hop BroRight, it’s a style that tends to bring out juicy hop character. DD4D will also have a lineup ranging from lager to sour IPA, hazy IPA, and West Coast IPA, so the wide range of beers should make for a fun tasting comparison.
MugiAnd on May 2 and 3, people from the breweries will be there too, right? A chance to talk to them directly sounds amazing! And with a stamp rally too, there’s no reason not to go!
Hop BroIt’s easy to get to from Kichijoji Station, and it’s nice that you can taste the character of Sapporo and Ehime all in one place in Tokyo. This is definitely a must for beer comparison.
MugiYeah, just reading this made me totally thirsty! I want to go see the draft beer lineup right now and order everything!
