Hop BroHere’s a tap takeover worth noticing in Nakano: Minoh Beer’s Coffee IPA is now pouring at Craft Beer Sakaba Citraba Nakano.
MugiWhat? Coffee in an IPA? Two bitter things combined sounds like my tongue will call a meeting!
Hop BroThat’s the fun of it. It’s an annual collaboration beer with Takamura Coffee Roasters in Osaka—coffee aroma up front, refreshing IPA character underneath.
MugiOoh! But what exactly is an IPA? I only know it as a strongly bitter beer!
Hop BroIPA is a style built around hop aroma and bitterness. Hops can bring citrus-like brightness, so they make a great match for coffee aromas.
MugiCitrusy hops and coffee… that is a lot to process! A café is brewing in my brain!
Hop BroNo need to overthink it. Picture roasted coffee notes first, followed by a crisp, lively bitterness typical of an IPA.
MugiThat sounds perfect after work! The post calls it a beer for taking a breather, right?
Hop BroExactly. Citraba Nakano is in Nakano 5-chome and is open weekdays from 4:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. The notice says table seating is fully booked, so check before you go.
MugiI want to sit at the counter, sniff the aroma, and toast with one! Coffee lovers, come along!
Hop BroIt’s settled—let’s taste the Minoh and Takamura pairing and grab a beer in Nakano!
