Hop BroAt Sakazuki Brewing in Kitasenju, a made-to-order new release is being tapped on April 22.
MugiWait! They do made-to-order beer too? What's this brewing-rights project?
Hop BroAt last year's anniversary event, a customer won the right and turned their idea into a beer. This time it's coming out as Feelin' single.
MugiThe name already has me curious, but what does the tankan wordplay mean?!
Hop BroIt's a pun that makes tankan read as single view, and it also carries an English-slang-like nuance. It's easy to laugh at, but it still feels playful.
MugiThat's fun! But the flavor isn't a joke, right? What does lots of tankan taste like?
Hop BroIt's a juicy design with tankan juice added too, so the acidity stays mild and the mandarin sweetness comes forward.
MugiOhh! So it isn't the sharply sour type, but an easy-drinking one with mandarin sweetness up front!
Hop BroExactly. They also made fine adjustments during fermentation to finish it, and I like that they're aiming for a fresh finish.
MugiIf I can drink it in Kitasenju, I want to go! Pair it with the southern-style food and it could feel like a trip!
Hop BroIt's perfect for the first drink of spring, and you can enjoy it on its own or with a meal. This is definitely one that makes you want to toast on tap day.
MugiYeah, my head is already tankan-colored today! I absolutely want a drink in Kitasenju!
