Hop BroToday's topic is TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa's double tap: Oni Densetsu's "金鬼ペールエール" and KAMADO BREWERY's "kiln firing 1st mov. light the kiln on fire IPA" were added.
MugiWhoa, the name alone sounds strong! "金鬼ペールエール" is a pale ale even though it's an oni? That's a surprising combo!
Hop BroThat's what's interesting about it. Pale ale has the appeal of being easy to drink with hop character, and it's a style where you can enjoy the balance of aroma and bitterness.
MugiI see! So the IPA comes in even harder? Does light the kiln on fire literally mean setting the kiln on fire!?
Hop BroExactly. IPAs generally have a strong hop presence, with aroma and bitterness coming through clearly. The name is aggressive, but when you drink it, it's definitely a delicious one.
MugiSo the name tries to intimidate you, but what's inside is serious! I'm also curious about the shop in Shimokitazawa because the lineup is so broad.
Hop BroThe post said the lineup runs from big hazy beers to refreshing styles, sharply bitter beers, and even juicy smoothie-style options. The ability to choose based on your mood is a big strength.
MugiWait, they even have smoothie-style beers!? I'd probably get lost on my very first drink, but that sounds fun too!
Hop BroAnd TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa is a shop where the 19 taps are always rotating. It's a four-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station, and you can enjoy beer at the standing counter inside or take it home in a growler.
MugiNice, being able to drink there or take it home is the best! A station-close beer pub is exactly the kind of place you end up stopping by.
Hop BroStart with Oni Densetsu's "金鬼ペールエール" to get the basics of the style, then soak up the hop energy from KAMADO BREWERY's IPA. Today is absolutely the perfect day for a tasting comparison.
MugiWow, just hearing that is making my throat dry! I want a glass right now, so let's run over to Shimokitazawa!
