Hop BroTwo limited Minamishinshu Beer releases have come to kadouchi at Suzuki Shuhan in Minowa. Being able to drink Chardonnay Hop and Apple Hop right there in the liquor shop feels great, doesn’t it?
MugiWait, you can drink them at the kadouchi!? So it’s not just buying at the store, but drinking them on the spot?
Hop BroExactly, and this time there’s no corkage fee. Usually there can be a charge for having the cap opened, but this place is on another level of casual.
MugiA corkage fee? What is that! Having to pay just to remove the cap sounds like the beer world has a lot of mini final bosses.
Hop BroBasically, it’s like a service fee. That’s why the point is that you can have a drink casually, and it matches Minowa’s downtown atmosphere perfectly.
MugiOh wow! So does Chardonnay Hop have a wine-like aroma? The name alone already sounds stylish!
Hop BroIt has a nuance that reminds you of Chardonnay, and the way it overlaps with the hop aroma is interesting. The other one, Apple Hop, is described as having apple changed to Shinano Sweet, so it’s easy to imagine a fruity taste.
MugiThe moment I heard Shinano Sweet, my head turned into an apple festival! It sounds sweet, but it’s weird how it comes together as beer.
Hop BroAnd the day’s three-item appetizer set is great too. Green pepper miso mayo, cod and potato anchovy stir-fry, and cabbage salad hit that perfect balance of lightness and satisfaction.
MugiThis is the kind of place where you go in just for one drink and before you know it, you’re having another. Two limited releases in Minowa make me want to go drink there right now!
