Hop BroShared Brewery in Tokyo's Hachioji will operate its taproom as usual from April 17 to 19. Just hearing that Chain Reaction is going on tap for the weekend is enough to get me restless.
MugiWhoa! Just from the name, Chain Reaction sounds intense! What kind of beer is it? Does it explode?
Hop BroNot explosive, but it definitely has punch. It's a West Coast DIPA, the kind that brings out a sharp, clear hop profile.
MugiWest Coast means it tastes like the west coast? And what is DIPA, some kind of code? It feels a little spacey!
Hop BroIt stands for Double IPA. So it has a bit more alcohol and body, and it is a style where you can really enjoy the hop presence.
MugiI see! And if the brewing with domestic lime and yuzu is moving along, the citrus notes must be amazing.
Hop BroExactly. And the taproom lineup is great too. With Yuzu POP IPA, DDH Hazy IPA, and even a Cold IPA on the board, the flavor directions are really broad.
MugiWait, wait, DDH Hazy IPA is another code! I can tell it sounds fluffy, though!
Hop BroDDH means double dry-hopped. So it uses a lot of aroma hops, which brings out a silky mouthfeel and juicy aromatics.
MugiWow, and with a four-beer tasting set, I might even be able to tell the difference! That sounds like a lot of fun.
Hop BroA weekend in a residential part of Hachioji, enjoying the freshness of draft beer more than flashy presentation, sounds great. This is the kind of place that makes you want to go and drink together.
Shared Brewery (Naganuma-cho, Hachioji City, Tokyo) announced taproom service from Friday, April 17 through Sunday, April 19. Hours are 5:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on the 17th, and 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on the 18th and 19th. In its post, the brewery highlighted "Chain Reaction West Coast DIPA" and also said that batches featuring domestic lime and yuzu are coming together nicely.
As a taproom attached to the brewery, its appeal lies in being able to focus on the beer itself without pretense. The official menu confirms a lineup such as the following.
- Chain Reaction / West Coast DIPA
- Yuzu POP IPA
- New Notion Potion / Farmhouse Ale
- Summit / Cold IPA
- DDH Hazy Tropics / DDH Hazy IPA
- Shared Pub Ale / Nitro Special Bitter
From the clearly hop-forward West Coast DIPA to the fruit-leaning IPA with yuzu, and on to the silky-feeling Hazy IPA, it is a lineup that makes it easy to line up beers in very different directions. In addition, a four-beer tasting set is available, so you can take your time comparing the differences in flavor. At a brewery in a residential area of Hachioji, this is the kind of operation aimed less at flashy presentation and more at checking the freshness of the draft beer and the character of the recipes.
