MugiWhat! You can choose that many in Mitaka!? The perfect clear-sky beer weather comment is amazing!
Hop BroThe headliners are Shiga Kogen Beer's Sono Juu Imperial IPA, plus Yokohama Bay Brewing's Bay Dark and even Minoh Stout.
MugiWhat is that! "Imperial" sounds regal, but what's different from a regular IPA?
Hop BroGood question. An imperial IPA is designed to increase the malt and hop load and give more body to the aroma, bitterness, and alcohol presence.
MugiWow! Then starting with the strong stuff sounds like a recipe for getting tipsy... so the order you drink them in matters!
Hop BroExactly. If you go heavy first, Wheat Wine 2023 or Extreme Chidoriashi is the way to start; if you want to drift toward something lighter, landing on a weizen is the cleanest finish.
MugiAnd they wrote that the Minoh Stout is getting low, right? If I want it, I have to order early!
Hop BroExactly, and the next day, Tuesday, March 17, is a closing day. So Monday, March 16 is a day worth visiting.
MugiAll right, I'm deciding now! I'll toast first with Bay Dark, then go all the way to Sono Juu at the end! I want to drink so much tonight!
