Hop BroThe Craft Beer Market Kanda branch, just a 30-second walk from Kanda Station South Exit, is serving up a pretty aggressive draft lineup in its 4/9 update.
MugiWhoa! 30 seconds on foot? My legs might win the race before the beer does! What's on the lineup?
Hop BroThe regulars are Heartland and Super Dry, so it's easy to get started, but the real draw is that it's an IPA-centered lineup.
MugiIPA-centered? Why is everyone so into IPAs anyway? Those are the bitter ones, right?
Hop BroExactly. The hop aroma and bitterness take center stage. And with five distinctive CRAFTROCK BREWING beers on tap, the shop has a pretty fun selection.
MugiWhat? A beer called Drink All Day sounds like you could keep drinking forever! What else is there?
Hop BroAlong with CRAFTROCK, there's Iwate Kura Beer's Golden Ale and Ko Beer, FLORA FERMENTATION's Lupus-Strata-, and even Big Paws from Second Beer, so the range is really broad.
MugiWait, Second Beer sounds like it's made for your second drink? Or is it okay to start with that one?
Hop BroOf course it's fine to start with it. There are also DD4D's Don Jalapeño, CAMADO's Blacksmith's Hazy Triple, and some kegs labeled SPECIAL KEG, so you can pick based on your mood.
MugiNice! If dark beers and wheat beers are both well stocked, I want to ease in with a Weizen first, then move on to something more adventurous!
Hop BroExactly. That's what you'd call a perfect tasting day in Kanda. I want to stop by right now too and start with my first pint.
MugiWhoa, that's not fair! Tonight in Kanda, I want to go from IPA to stout in order!
