Hop BroToday at Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo, the three kegs on tap are the hot topic. On Sunday, May 31, it opens at noon, and the lineup includes Break Edge's hazy IPA "Direct," B.M.B's smoothie sour "Ruby Tint," and Firestone Walker's "Parabola 2016."
MugiWhoa, they have a hazy IPA, a smoothie sour, and a barrel-aged stout all at once!? The styles are all over the place, so being able to drink them all at one spot is amazing!
Hop BroExactly. First up, "Direct" is an easy-drinking hazy. It has that cloudy look, pushes the juicy hop character forward, and keeps the bitterness soft instead of going too hard, which is nice.
MugiWhat is that, cloudy but easy to drink!? It really does sound odd. Even though it looks heavy, there are beers you can just keep gulping down, right?
Hop BroThere are. Next, "Ruby Tint" is a fruit-packed smoothie sour, with acidity and sweet-tart character actually playing off each other. It has that dessert-leaning excitement that feels very B.M.B.
MugiJust hearing "smoothie sour" gets me hyped! It's like a drinkable dessert, right? That sounds like it has to be delicious.
Hop BroAnd the last one, "Parabola 2016," is a barrel-aged stout. BA means barrel-aged, so it combines the nuances from the wood barrel with the depth of roasted malt, making it a beer you want to take your time with.
MugiSo that's what BA means. When the aroma of wood barrels gets added, it instantly feels like an adult flavor! This is definitely one you sip carefully, one mouthful at a time.
Hop BroWhat's more, if you look at the tap list, it also has Phase Three Brewing x Messorem's "Pixel Demoliri" and "Pixel Populus," Totopia Brewery's "Clawphobia," and Uchu Brewing's "Matariki" and "Uchu Pils," so it's a very broad lineup.
MugiWait, they even have lambic and lager!? Then this is definitely a place for tasting side by side in Takadanobaba. If the inside carries sound easily, it sounds nice to just quietly focus on the glass!
Hop BroExactly. Being able to go after both fresh new kegs and barrel-aged beers on the same day is pretty luxurious. It's open from noon today, so I'd like to start slowly and end with a proper stout.
MugiYeah, yeah, I want to start with "Direct" and finish with "Parabola 2016"! I'm getting the feeling that I want to toast right now, so let's go already!
The beer pub "Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo" in the Takadanobaba Station area was open from noon on Sunday, May 31 as well. In an official post, it announced "three kegs on tap today" and featured three very different beers.
- Direct (hazy IPA / Break Edge)
- Ruby Tint (smoothie sour / B.M.B)
- Parabola 2016 (BA imperial stout / Firestone Walker)
The lineup brings together three kegs with very different directions: the drinkability of a hazy IPA, the fruitiness of a smoothie sour, and the weighty depth of a barrel-aged stout. For beer fans, it is hard to overlook. The tap list shown in the image also includes Phase Three Brewing x Messorem's "Pixel Demoliri" and "Pixel Populus," Totopia Brewery's "Clawphobia," Uchu Brewing's "Matariki" and "Uchu Pils," Brasserie Cantillon's "Sang Bleu," and North Park Beer Company's "Friends & Neighbors," making for a broad selection ranging from hop-forward pours to lambic, lager, and barrel-aged styles.
The shop notes that sound tends to carry inside, which gives it the kind of atmosphere suited to people who want to focus calmly on their glass. In Takadanobaba, it is an easy place to visit on a day when you want to chase both a vivid new keg and a mature barrel-aged beer at once.
