Hop BroExtra Hop in Chuo-cho, Oita City, has updated its taps. Ahead of its evening service on April 18, five beers, including Yamoridou's Tiger Kick, all moved at once.
MugiWhoa, five beers tapped at once!? Isn't that way too much turnover?
Hop BroApparently they even skipped their daytime service at short notice to prepare for the evening, and they'll open properly from 17:30 to 22:00. For a back-alley spot near the station, that kind of speed really shows it's a place where the kegs turn over fast.
MugiWhat do you mean by keg turnover? Do they spin them around? Like, whoosh?
Hop BroNo, no. It means they keep pouring and replacing the kegs quickly. This time, Yamoridou's Tiger Kick is the latest batch of IPA, with extra dry hopping for a more aromatic finish.
MugiOhhh! When you say extra dry hopping, it sounds like I'd get drunk just from the aroma!
Hop BroAnd NOVORU BREWING's NUVORU is a DDH hazy pale ale. It really brings out the fruitiness while staying easy to drink, so even people who are wary of IPA can slip right into it.
MugiDDH again! There are so many letters that it feels like the beer world's secret code!
Hop BroDDH stands for double dry hop, a brewing method that boosts hop aroma. On top of that, Bighand Bros. Beer's KYANITE, a session bitter, is on the list, so it's a lineup that's also good for cleansing the palate with something lighter.
MugiSession bitter, got it! Just hearing light and easy to drink makes me want one.
Hop BroAnd since Craft Beer Base's limited pilsner and Falò's strawberry are also said to be close to kicking, it really has that last-chance feeling. IPA, hazy, bitter, pilsner, and even fruit beer all together is so Extra Hop, right?
MugiWow, it's like a treasure chest of tastings. We should go early and get ourselves kicked by one glass after another too!
