Hop BroToday’s tap list at Bar Malt Road in Kanda-Tacho is looking strong, with 8 taps from the UK to Japan ready from 5 p.m.
MugiWhat! From Britain to Japan? That sounds like the whole beer map got poured into one bar. What’s on?
Hop BroA headliner is Fuller's 'London Pride.' It’s a classic British ale staple, and next to Noroshi Brewing's 'Mild Weather English Dark Mild,' the UK presence really stands out.
MugiWait, what is dark mild supposed to mean? Dark sounds intimidating, mild sounds like it says sorry before bumping into you.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. A dark mild has roasty notes without getting too heavy, so it still drinks smoothly. Basically, it’s dark but gentle.
MugiOhhh! Then what if I want the hoppy stuff? Weekend Vibes IPA already sounds like it clocked out early on Friday.
Hop BroThen you’d look at Pressure Drop's 'Superdelic Super Pale' or Coronado's 'Weekend Vibes IPA.' By hop definition, I mean the aroma and bitterness feel sharp and clearly drawn.
MugiBeer has outlines now? Sharp aromatic lines makes it sound like someone taught my pint life drawing.
Hop BroAnd it doesn’t stop there. You’ve also got Vinohradský Pivovar's 'Vinohradská 12' from the Czech side, Belgium’s Malheur '8,' plus 'MILLS' and 'Fiction,' so the tasting range is wide.
MugiAnd they’ve got beef tendon and mushroom stew made with Belgian beer, plus pear, prosciutto, and cottage cheese carpaccio? I can already see a slow multi-pint evening happening.
Hop BroExactly. It works whether you want a proper meal or just a few pints at your own pace. Starting at Bar Malt Road with London Pride into Japanese craft sounds like the right move.
MugiThat settles it. Calm British pours first, hoppy stuff later, and Japanese craft to finish. This is a need a drink right now kind of lineup.
