Hop BroThe tap list at Beer Pub Neko to Azarashi in Mitaka on May 31 really felt like a perfect beer-weather day.
MugiWait, 10 taps on a day like that? That is the kind of lineup you just cannot choose from!
Hop BroAnd the star is Sankt Gallen's Suika Wheat too, a Wheat Ale w/ Watermelon at 5.0% ABV.
MugiWhat? Wheat means wheat, right? They put watermelon puree in that?!
Hop BroExactly. That is why it has a soft mouthfeel and is built as a summer-friendly design that balances sweetness and bitterness.
MugiWow! And with berries, lemon, pilsner, and IPA all on the list, it is like a comprehensive early-summer exam!
Hop BroFrom Romantique Village's Berry Berry Sour to T.Y. HARBOR's Pale Ale and Shiga Kogen's Blonde Ale, the range of flavors is wide.
MugiThey even have Ushitora's Session IPA and Sankt Gallen's Hazy IPA? That is a total hop traffic jam!
Hop BroOn top of that, the food lineup includes salt-boiled asparagus, a quiche-style omelet, and Chinese-style char siu, so the snack coverage is pretty strong too.
MugiIf it is just a short walk from the south exit of Mitaka Station, that makes it easy to get there, and if reservations are accepted until the day before, that is reassuring. Now I really want to go for a Suika Wheat toast!
