Hop BroMugibaru in Kamata has put out another interesting tap list. Leading with HOP IN MY HEAD and showing five current beers plus four NEXT beers is what makes it so sharp.
MugiWait, five current beers and four NEXT beers? They’ve already lined up the next round of fun? That feels like a beer trailer!
Hop BroExactly. And since it ranges from Hoppukotan in Hokkaido to Kanagawa, Ehime, and Mie, it really feels like a nationwide tap tour. I like that it centers on IPA styles while also carrying fruit ale and pilsner.
MugiHey, hey, what is a TDH Hazy IPA? It sounds like a spell. If I drink it, can I summon a monster?
Hop BroNo summoning, but it usually means lots of hops, with a strong aroma and flavor. A label like Ise Kadoya Beer’s Hattrick aims for both juiciness and drinkability.
MugiI see! So Hime Beer’s Karan Iyokan Fruit Ale from Ehime should be a little lighter and more refreshing with that citrus character!
Hop BroThat’s right. At 2%, it’s very light, so it resets your palate between heavier IPAs. And with Asahi’s Pilsner 5.5% in the mix, there’s also an easy closing pour.
MugiThe way you said “easy closing pour”! But I get it! And having Uchu Brewing show up twice in NEXT sounds like you could get launched into space!
Hop BroWhat’s fun is that Sirius is a Hazy, while Mars is a DDH Hazy, so even within the same style there’s a difference in design. With Sanct Gallen’s Pineapple Ale and COEDO’s Aosei waiting there too, the next move is covered.
MugiMugibaru is like a treasure chest of tastings. If you can meet this many beers from around Japan in Kamata, you’d want to keep coming back.
Hop BroExactly. It’s the kind of place where you wonder whether to go hard on hops tonight or keep it light tomorrow. As a candidate for tonight’s drink, it makes you want to check it out together.
