Hop BroBAMBOO 4 in Hanasakicho, Yokohama, just put out today's tap list for April 16. The highlight is two new taps, starting with FLORA FERMENTATION's Raven and then Bifuka Shirakaba Brewery's SAP.
MugiWhoa, both sound interesting! Raven and SAP already sound strong, but what kind of beers are they?
Hop BroRaven is a West Coast IPA with 7.5% ABV. It uses plenty of C-family hops, so it brings out grapefruit-like and piney aromas, plus a sharp bitterness.
MugiWait, what's a C-family hop? Is that like a family group of hops?
Hop BroBroadly speaking, it's a type of American hop that tends to produce citrus and pine aromas. So Raven is a sturdy but brisk IPA that lets you enjoy grapefruit character and bitterness.
MugiI see, bitter yet light sounds weirdly great! So what about SAP? It said it was a spring-like beer, but does drinking it make you feel like you're at a cherry blossom viewing party?
Hop BroSAP is a Hazy IPA with 5.0% ABV. It's brewed only with birch sap harvested in Bifuka, and what's interesting is the refreshing sensation that feels like forest bathing, along with hop aroma.
MugiWhat, brewed with only birch sap!? That's so romantic, and 'a refreshing sensation like forest bathing' sounds like it would make you want to take a deep breath when you drink it!
Hop BroAnd the food lineup is strong too. Fresh guacamole plus tacos like jerk chicken and carnitas mean the classic taco-and-IPA combo is in full effect.
MugiNo way, I'm hungry just thinking about it! And Banana Kick, Kumophilia, and the others sound interesting too, so there are way too many reasons to stop by the Noge area!
Hop BroThey're open from 4:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., so it's easy to stop by after work. Tonight feels like one of those nights when you'll want to start with Raven's bitterness and finish with SAP's springlike character, a two-beer lineup.
MugiYeah, I definitely want to go! If you pair the first pour after the tap with tacos, it might be so good I won't want to leave.
