Hop BroBeer House Hobbit in Hirakata just posted today's taps, and Shonan Beer's headline pour is the one I can't ignore: Kumazawa Shuzo's 'Hazy IPA #09 Zibi.'
MugiWait, a numbered IPA? That sounds like a secret mission. What even is Zibi?
Hop BroThat's the fun part, because Zibi is a Polish hop. In this hazy IPA it gives tropical fruit aroma, a grassy edge, and a soft sweetness.
MugiHold on, hazy IPA always sounds like stylish wizard language to me. What does that actually taste like?
Hop BroSimple version: cloudy and juicy. It smells plush and fruity, then this one finishes clean, so it doesn't just sit heavy on your palate.
MugiOhhh, so it's tropical up front and then it snaps tidy at the end? That's a whole little plot twist in one glass.
Hop BroExactly, and the rest of the lineup is strong too: six taps total with Tall Boys Brewing's 'Classic Pilsner,' Shima Brewery's 'Karigane Saison,' Iwatekura Beer's 'Passion Ale' and 'Raspberry Pink,' plus Ushitora Brewery's 'Double Fuurin.'
MugiWhat is this, a tasting flight syllabus? Pilsner, saison, fruit beer... even choosing sounds fun.
Hop BroAnd Beer House Hobbit didn't stop at beer. They also mentioned donabe rice dishes, which tells you the place is built for pairing, not just checking taps off a list.
MugiThat is dangerous information. Teleport me to Hirakata so I can start with Zibi and still save room for the raspberry one.
Hop BroThat route makes sense. one glass, several moods is exactly the appeal of Zibi, and it sets up the rest of the lineup nicely.
MugiAlright, I'm in. I want that first sip right now, then a serious debate over which of the six gets the second round.
