Hop BroHot news from Sendai: Miyakoji Hop Garden Brewery is heading to GOOD BEER MARKET ENN for its first TTO on March 21!
MugiWhoa! Miyakoji is that place in Fukushima, right? An ENN debut feels extra special!
Hop BroExactly. It’s run by Hop Japan, and having Mr. Takeishi on site makes it even more exciting.
MugiReally? And I saw there are eight kinds! Does the tap-one-by-one style mean the flavors change every time you go?
Hop BroThat’s right. They’re bringing a full eight-beer lineup, from HopJapan IPA, a Session IPA, to Abukuma BLACK, a Black IPA.
MugiWhat is that! Session, Hazy, IPL... it’s a total jargon traffic jam and my brain is turning into foam!
Hop BroPut simply, Session means lighter, Hazy means cloudy and aromatic, and IPL is lager's easy drinkability with extra hop character. In other words, it’s all about balancing aroma and drinkability.
MugiI get it! And they even have Yuzu Scented White and Sakura SAKELager, so the Japanese-ingredient beer lineup is amazing!
Hop BroMiyakoji grows hops and brews beer all in one place, aiming for a local circulation model using Tamura City hops, and they’re even offering a T-shirt prize for rock-paper-scissors.
MugiIt’s settled! Let’s go taste Miyakoji’s beer in the Tohoku urban area, try to conquer every tap, and have a toast together too, Hop Bro!
