Hop BroA new beer, Aoichimonji, has shown up at the Waseda beer pub New School. It’s on TAP3 as a draft pour, and the fact that it’s a Single Hop IPA is pretty stylish.
MugiWait! What even is a single hop? You mean it only uses one kind of hop? That feels almost too clean-cut, and now I’m kind of scared!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a one-hop showdown built entirely around Blue One hop. In other words, it’s designed to show the hop’s personality straight up, without hiding behind extra elements.
MugiOhhh! Then the flavor differences should be super easy to notice. And pineapple aroma already sounds delicious just hearing it!
Hop BroThat’s right. The post highlights pineapple-like flavor and firm bitterness. On top of that, the specs are ABV 5.5% and IBU 60, so it still has plenty of body.
MugiIBU 60? Wait, is that like 60 out of 60 for bitterness? The numbers suddenly feel like a science test!
Hop BroClose, but it’s not an exam. IBU is a bitterness indicator, and 60 puts it in the definitely bitter range. It should give you the sharp outline you expect from an IPA, making it a good pick for people who want to enjoy the hop’s presence.
MugiGot it! And New School has seven craft beers on tap all the time, right? With this one joining the lineup, I kind of want to meet the newcomer!
Hop BroExactly. It’s right near Waseda University and also serves Edo Tokyo Beer. The modern, clean interior is another plus, since you can pair it with food and take your time over a drink.
MugiAnd if it’s draft for 950 yen, it’s easy to try casually. It sounds perfect for a day when you just want one beer after work.
Hop BroYeah. If you’re looking for an IPA with a hop-forward profile, this one stands out a lot. I’m already in the mood to drink Aoichimonji tonight.
MugiMe too! I want to go have a drink in Waseda right now! Hop bro, make sure to grab us a seat first!
