Hop BroBeer Bar Festa in Shimokitazawa put out today's tap list on May 3. Five domestic beers, six overseas beers, and one regular beer - a pretty strong total of 12 taps.
MugiWhat? Twelve draft beers? With that many, I wouldn't know where to start - that's a happy problem!
Hop BroFirst, on the domestic side, Y Market's "Be With You," Beer Hearn's "Enmusubi Beer Real Ale ver.," and Shiga Kogen's "Fresh Hop Grisette" really stand out. I like that there's a real breadth of fruity character.
MugiWhat is that? "Real Ale" sounds suddenly super pro. How is it different from regular beer?
Hop BroSimply put, it's the idea of enjoying a calmer carbonation level straight from the cask. It doesn't go overly fizzy, so the aroma and mouthfeel come through more softly, which suits a place where you want to sip slowly.
MugiOhhh! Then I want to try "Fresh Hop Grisette" too! "Grisette" already sounds too stylish just by the name.
Hop BroA grisette is a classic light beer style, and when you add the green freshness of fresh hops, you get a burst of grapefruit-like and grassy aromas. It tends to feel very springlike.
MugiNice, nice! And they've got Setouchi's "Cherry & Strawberry" and Forest's "Bonfire Dunkel," so they can cover both tart sweetness and toasty richness - that's seriously strong!
Hop BroThe overseas lineup is solid too. Dieu du Ciel's "Sentinel," Hetty Alice's "Island Time IPA," and BrewDog's "Double Hazy Jane" mean you can even compare IPAs and hazies side by side.
MugiWhoa, that's the kind of place where you'd want to compare beers while eating! And there's darts too, right? You'd stop being able to tell whether you came to drink beer or to hang out!
Hop BroThat's the best thing about Festa. And since they're open through the holiday period with last call at 4 a.m. until May 5, you can take your time, hang out, and still have one more.
MugiThat's basically perfect! If you toast in Shimokitazawa and enjoy the Beer Lovers' Club and darts all together, you might never want to go home!
