Hop BroChiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa will pour four craft beers on tap on October 23. It is a beer pub with dagashi snacks and coffee, too.
MugiWhat? Beer, old-school snacks, and coffee all together? With hours from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., can we really toast in the morning?
Hop BroWe sure can. First up is FLORA FERMENTATION’s Märzen, Albrecht, a 6.0% beer from Higashiomi, Shiga.
MugiWhat is a Märzen? It sounds German—and maybe like a special move from a beer-themed anime.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it is a beer for malty richness: toasty, rounded, and made for sipping slowly. Still an excellent name for a special move.
MugiNice! Then there is Oni Densetsu Beer’s Kaneoni Pale Ale Galaxy ver. That name has both demons and outer space—so much happening!
Hop BroThis 5.5% pale ale comes from Noboribetsu, Hokkaido, and highlights vivid aroma from Galaxy hops. Galaxy is a hop variety—not a galaxy you can literally drink.
MugiAww, no drinkable galaxy! But Minami Shinshu Beer has a fruit ale with Shinano Sweet apples, right? As an apple fan, I cannot miss that.
Hop BroIts 6.5% Apple Hop blends sweet apple aroma, beer-like acidity, and fruitiness. Ise Kadoya Beer also brings an Imperial Red Ale with a reddish hue and a fuller body.
MugiA four-beer tasting with sausage rolls or brownies, then a latte afterward? Beer and baked treats sound like the perfect Shimosuwa walking break!
