MugiWhat? Being open for the holiday is great! But what is a taproom? A room full of beer taps?
Hop BroThat is pretty close! A taproom is a space beside the brewery where you can enjoy beer right where it is made.
MugiFresh beer at the source!? And it is two minutes from Tono Station? That is perfect for a train trip!
Hop BroTono is one of Japan's leading hop regions, with cultivation since 1963. For hop fans, it is practically sacred ground.
MugiSacred ground! But aren't hops just leaves that make beer bitter?
Hop BroBrewers mainly use the flowers, which add bitterness and aroma. Depending on the variety and timing, they can smell citrusy or wonderfully grassy.
MugiWhat, they are aroma wizards! GOOD HOPS also offers pale ales and lagers with 100% Tono-grown hops, right?
Hop BroExactly. They handle cultivation, brewing, new varieties, and processing research—studying hops from start to finish. They have light snacks, but no full meals, so plan ahead.
