Hop BroA 10-tap refresh has arrived in Komagome, Tokyo. Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand released its tap list on May 29, and Sauvin Belgo and Seiten Raimei #2 are on it.
MugiWhoa! Sauvin Belgo sounds stylish already! If it says Belgo, does that mean it's Belgian-style?
Hop BroExactly. An American Belgo Style Ale is basically Belgian yeast character with an American hop presence layered on top.
MugiWait, just Belgian yeast changes the flavor that much? Yeast is that much of a hard worker?
Hop BroIt changes a lot. It's like the designer of the aroma; it brings out fruitiness and spice. So Sauvin Belgo should not just be bitter, but also lift with a soft aromatic note.
MugiOhhh! Then Pe-pe-pe is interesting too! Kveik Pale Ale sounds cute already, and the fact that it's from Norway is such a great contrast!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Kveik yeast stays lively even at high temperatures, ferments quickly, and tends to come out fruity. And with beers ranging from citrus-sour styles like Yunosu Saison to West Coast IPA like Seiten Raimei #2, the aroma range is really wide.
MugiWow, IPA fans rejoice! They even have EL BAMP HAZY, a Hazy IPA, and a Belgian stout like Kurotobi #4. That's strong!
Hop BroExactly. Because the lineup is covered from light to rich, the ideal flow is to start with Komagome Best Bitter for an easy first glass, then move to Seiten Raimei #2 or EL BAMP HAZY for hops, and finish with Kurotobi #4.
MugiAnd now there are even tapas by Tatsunosuke Taba on the weekend too. That adds even more reasons to drink! This makes me want to detour to Komagome right now!
Hop BroExactly. It has the easygoing feel of starting with one drink at the counter, and once you compare the house brews while snacking on tapas, it's the kind of place where you just won't want to go home.

Looking at the lineup, there are beers with very different aromatic and tart expressions, including the Belgian-style `Sauvin Belgo`, `Pe-pe-pe` brewed with Norwegian yeast, and `Yunosu Saison` with a yuzu nuance. `Seiten Raimei #2` and `EL BAMP HAZY` are two beers that will catch the eye of IPA fans, and with `Komagome Best Bitter` and `Kurotobi #4` also available, there is a wide range to enjoy from something brisk to a more robust dark beer.
