Hop BroThree taps have opened at Progress in Musashi-Kosugi. From 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Friday, April 24, today's domestic craft tasting lineup is pretty interesting.
MugiWhoa! Just three taps and it can still be that fun? But I guess that actually makes it easier to choose, which is nice for beginners!
Hop BroExactly. The place is Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress. It's in Kosugimachi 3-chome within walking distance of the station, and the strength is that it works well both as a bar and as a bottle shop.
MugiWhat is that! A bar and a shop both? I kind of want it to just be one thing or the other, though?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. First up is Kinki Pale Ale, from Oni Densetsu Beer, a pale ale with berry and mango notes from the new hop variety ADHA-218, plus a solid bitterness.
MugiWait, berries and mango plus bitterness? So is it sweet or bitter? My brain is kind of busy right now!
Hop BroThat busyness is what makes it fun. Next is Swheat & sour, a wheat-based sour from Shiga Kogen Beer. It has Bramley acidity, so even though the mouthfeel is soft, the finish is crisp.
MugiOhhh! Bramley acidity sounds classy. And if it goes well with food, it would be perfect for a drink before dinner!
Hop BroAnd then there's Tiger Kick, Yamorido's West Coast IPA, with an aroma like citrus and pineapple, a dry finish, and a clear, sharp bitterness. Hop lovers will be grinning at this one.
MugiWow, three aroma-focused beers means you can get acidity and bitterness all in one go! Today at Progress, I want to start with a tasting from the first glass and then maybe even take some home at the end!
On Friday, April 24, from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., three taps were opened at Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Musashi-Kosugi. The shop is located in a corner of Kosugimachi 3-chome within walking distance of the station, and its appeal lies in combining the casual feel of a beer bar with the selection of a bottle shop. In its compact interior, it is easy to try one glass at a time depending on your mood that day.
The lineup for the day consisted of three beers, all from domestic breweries with distinct personalities.
- Kinki Pale Ale ADHA-218 Single Ver. (Oni Densetsu Beer)
A pale ale brewed with the new hop variety ADHA-218. Berry- and mango-like aromas are layered with a firm bitterness, resulting in a beer that does not lean only on aromatic flair.
- Swheat & sour (Shiga Kogen Beer)
A wheat-based beer with a soft mouthfeel, enhanced by the aroma and acidity of the sour apple Bramley. It has a clean finish and seems like a good match for food. Pairing it with spicy dishes was also suggested.
- Tiger Kick (Yamorido)
A West Coast IPA with an impressive aroma reminiscent of citrus and pineapple, along with a dry finish. Its bitterness is clearly defined, and the fuller body reveals itself the more you drink.
Progress has become established as a place in Musashi-Kosugi where you can mainly enjoy domestic craft beer. This three-tap lineup also split clearly into directions: an aroma-forward pale ale, a wheat-based sour with acidity, and a classic hop-driven West Coast IPA, making it easy to build a tasting from the first glass of the day onward. In addition to bar service, takeout is also available, so you can choose whether to drink on-site or take it home and enjoy it later.
