On May 2, Bakushu Island-omotecho- in Omotecho, Okayama City, announced nonstop Golden Week hours. In addition to sales in front of the shop, customers can enjoy Kurashiki Brewing's new "Tamano West Coast IPA" on draft and in bottles inside the store.
Hop BroBakushu Island-omotecho- in Omotecho is going with nonstop Golden Week hours from 11:30 to 24:00. You can drop by from daytime, so it's perfect for a break while walking around town.
MugiWait, from noon until midnight!? Nonstop service? How do they even keep going? And they're on full duty for Golden Week too - are the staff powered by beer or something?
Hop BroIn front of the shop, they're serving draft beer plus Kurachiki karaage sticks and potatoes. The whole flow is already set: snack outside, then settle in for a proper drink inside.
MugiThat's amazing! Karaage sticks and potatoes are basically beer's best friends. I can already see the future where I eat too much first and end up too full to drink!
Hop BroThe highlight is Kurashiki Brewing's new Tamano West Coast IPA, right? They have it on draft and in bottles, so it's a dream setup for anyone who likes side-by-side comparisons.
MugiWest Coast IPA? What is that! I hear hops are the star, but does it make you feel like you're by the sea? Beer names sometimes feel like a geography test and it confuses me!
Hop BroBasically, it's an IPA with a sharp hop presence. The bitterness and citrusy aroma come forward easily, and instead of sweetness, a crisp edge stands out, so the finish feels snappy.
MugiOhhh! So that's what you mean by sharp bitterness. I only knew beer with a gentle face, but I guess sometimes there's one that comes at you a little sharply too.
Hop BroThe taps for the day are interesting too: Okayama Pale Ale, Kyoto Brewing's Haberion, 0703IPA, Yuzu Lager, and Yuzu Weiss are all on the list. There's citrusy stuff, white-beer styles, black draft, and even non-alcoholic options, so you can choose as much as you want.
MugiWhoa, it's a choose-anything tap lineup! Depending on my mood today, I can go with strong hops or something light and easy, and if there's even non-alcoholic beer, I might end up staying a long time.
Hop BroBeing able to stop by casually from daytime in the middle of the shopping arcade, at a place that's fun for comparing beers, is a pretty big strength. During a Golden Week walk around town, this is the kind of place that won't stop at just one drink.
MugiThen it's decided! I want to go with the Tamano West Coast IPA on draft, and if I like it, I want to chase it with a bottle too! Hop bro, on the way home today, my throat is definitely calling for beer!
