Hop BroToday we're talking about Brasserie SOMA in Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu, and its sharpened version of the regular "Kurape," "Kurape TypeS."
MugiWhoa, what's TypeS? "Kurape TypeS" sounds kind of strong, like a car trim!
Hop BroNice reaction. The style is a pale ale, and its selling points are a soft hop aroma and a crisp, clean finish.
MugiHop aroma, meaning something like a floral scent? That's kind of unfair, making the beer smell stylish all of a sudden!
Hop BroExactly. Here, the goal is less flash and more an easy-drinking, light finish you could have every day.
MugiAh, so it's the kind you can gulp down on a hot day. Hearing "summer beer" already makes my throat dry out.
Hop BroAnd since it's a brewpub in Tanga Market, the appeal is that you can enjoy the live feel of beer being brewed on-site too.
MugiWhat, that's amazing! Stopping by while you're shopping and having a freshly poured beer is almost unfair, right?
Hop BroIf you compare it with the regular "Kurape," I think the difference in crispness will be easy to notice and fun.
MugiAll right, my throat is already calling for "Kurape TypeS"! I want to compare them, and today's drink is decided right here!
