Hop BroIna City's In a daze Brewing & Taproom is opening for daytime service on Sunday, March 22. It's from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., which makes it perfect for stopping by after watching the race.
MugiWhat, they're open on ekiden day!? Being able to have a drink after watching is so nice!
Hop BroAnd the taps are all seven of them, with a particularly strong American IPA lineup. Gonbei IPA and Sanshu IPA are both IPA, but their personalities are different, which is interesting.
MugiWhat, IPA can be different even when it has the same name!? It says made with local ingredients, but what does that mean?
Hop BroIPA puts the spotlight on hop aroma and bitterness, but Gonbei IPA uses local rice, and Sanshu IPA uses salt. That creates little surprises in the aroma and finish.
MugiOhhh! Then I want to compare them! But Strong Bitter sounds so intense that it's kind of scary!
Hop BroIna Day Pale Ale has a milder British-style character, so it doesn't hit as hard as its name sounds. It's more of a gentle style where you enjoy the balance of malt sweetness and hop flavor.
MugiThen what's Coconut Anpan Stout!? It has an snack-like name, but is it black beer?
Hop BroRight, stout is a dark style with the roasty aroma of roasted malt, and here it carries sweet coconut notes and an anpan-like character. On top of that, there are beers like Mori no Za, a Botanical Pale ale, and Kurashi Session Ale, so the lineup is packed with personality.
MugiWow, even the pairing suggestions for pizza are amazing! If I drink it with whitebait or spring mountain vegetables, happiness is basically guaranteed from lunchtime!
Hop BroAnd they even mention growlers, so they're covered on takeout too. All right, after the race let's stop by, start with Gonbei IPA, then Mori no Za, and maybe finish with one more.
MugiYes, exactly! With seven taps during daytime service, now that I've finished reading, my throat is already waiting for beer!
In a daze Brewing & Taproom in Nishiminowa, Ina City, Nagano Prefecture, announced its daytime service for Sunday, March 22 (11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.). The post mentioned the Ina High School Ekiden and noted that some areas would have vehicle restrictions, but that the area around the taproom is not subject to those restrictions. It looks like a day that will be convenient for a meal or a break after watching the race.
The highlight of the day is the clearly announced seven-tap lineup. In addition to IPAs that make use of local ingredients, the selection also includes more distinctive styles.
Tap List
- Gonbei IPA (American IPA w/ Local rice)
- Sanshu IPA (American IPA w/ Salt)
- Ina Day Pale Ale (Strong Bitter)
- Coconut Anpan Stout (Coconut Anpan Stout)
- Mori no Za (Botanical Pale ale)
- HAZY DAZE POWDER DAY (Hazy Session IPA)
- Kurashi Session Ale (Session Ale w/ Mayer lemon)
In the post, Gonbei IPA and Mori no Za were also suggested as pairing options with the seasonal recommended pizza toppings of whitebait, three-cheese, poached egg, and spring mountain vegetables. As you would expect from a brewery with an attached taproom, the strong point here is that you can enjoy everything consistently, with the beer as the center and the food pairing built around it. In addition to glass and pint service, there is also growler service, showing that the operation is set up to meet takeaway demand as well as dine-in needs.
