Hop BroBar FUKURO in Kamata has added two new taps. DD4D Brewing's Journeyman IPA and TIELS Brewing's Kinkan & Ogonkan Saison are both names that are seriously catching my eye right now.
MugiWhoa! Both are full of personality! They already sound delicious from the names alone, but what kind of beer is Journeyman IPA first?
Hop BroIt's DD4D Brewing's West Coast IPA, with an ABV of 7.0%. It has pine, white grape, and meadow-like aromas, and when you drink it, a juicy lime and grapefruit character comes through.
MugiPine? Meadow? Wait, is this like a forest bath in beer form? So it's not just bitter?
Hop BroThat's the key point: it has a moderate bitterness, but the mouthfeel is clean. It puts the hop aroma front and center, while the finish cuts off smoothly, so it's the kind of IPA that's easy to drink even for IPA fans.
MugiAh, I see! So the TIELS Brewing one is a fruit saison, which means it's sweet? Kumquat and ogonkan already sound adorable!
Hop BroKinkan & Ogonkan Saison uses the brightness of kumquat and ogonkan, but ties everything together with the dry character of saison yeast. It has a fruity feel, but it doesn't lean too far into sweetness, and that's where it really shines.
MugiSo it's all about a balanced, not-too-sweet profile! I always think of fruit beers as dessert-like, but this sounds like it would pair well with food too!
Hop BroExactly. Another nice thing about Bar FUKURO is that it's easy to drop in for a solo drink in Kamata. Following the changing guest beers and choosing a keg based on your mood of the day is part of the fun.
MugiAnd the post even includes an announcement for a Kamado Brewery Tap Takeover, right? Changing kegs one after another sounds like a beer version of a TV drama serial!
Hop BroExactly. It's a lineup that hop lovers and fruit fans alike can enjoy, so if you're going for a drink in Kamata, this is a pretty hot spot right now.
MugiAlright, now I really want to raise a glass in Kamata today! First the IPA for the hop bitterness, then the saison for the citrus aroma - that's the flow I want!
