Hop BroUma no Gohobi in Shiinamachi has been tapped at Namachan Stand Shiinamachi. It's a collaboration between JRA Baji Koen and NAMACHAん Brewing, and even the name gets me excited.
MugiWait, a Baji Koen collaboration? It sounds like the wind of horseback riding is blowing through the beer! Cute, but it also feels like the real deal!
Hop BroExactly, and the style is Fruit IPA. It uses apples and carrots, so the design brings out fruitiness with the sharp bitterness you expect from an IPA.
MugiFruit IPA, what even is that! Apples and carrots made into beer!? My brain can't keep up, it's like something between salad and juice!
Hop BroBasically, it's an IPA that uses fruit and vegetable elements to add aroma and depth of flavor. At 6.5% ABV, it also has real drinking heft, which is the sneaky part.
MugiOhhh! That soft orange color from the carrots already looks tasty. Makes me think even people who don't like carrots might be able to drink it!
Hop BroThe post also praised the contrast in crispness between the sweetness of the apples and the West Coast IPA-like bitterness. It pulls you in with sweetness, then finishes clean and sharp. Great construction.
MugiThat alone makes my throat want to react! But the tap list also has house-brewed regulars on it too, right? That's way too hard to choose from!
Hop BroThe lineup included Takenoko Lager, CAMA×NAMA New World IPA, Nama-chan's Lager, and Mokumokkun's Peated Stout, so it's basically a tasting paradise. And since it's near the station, it's easy to just stop by.
MugiAnd on top of that, NEKOBEER's Nyajii to Oats Cream Factory is there too!? There's so much information here that I want to drink everything and see for myself!
Hop BroExactly. It's a day where you can enjoy the fruit character and the outline of an IPA in Shiinamachi. On a day like this, starting with Uma no Gohobi and then settling down with a lager sounds perfect.
MugiDeal! I'm in the mood to toast in Shiinamachi today, so let's go have a drink in this order!
