Hop BroAt vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR in Ikebukuro East Exit, three new beers are on tap. Plus, they have 20 draft beers total, and they're opening at 3 p.m. through 5/5 during the holiday period, so that's great news for daytime drinkers.
MugiWhoa, 20 taps in the afternoon is intense!? And having that many choices in Ikebukuro? It's basically a beer theme park!
Hop BroThe star this time is Ise Kadoya Beer's Imperial Red Ale. It has a fruity aroma, solid body, and a crisp bitter finish, so it's a red ale with real heft.
MugiImperial means king-size, right!? A red ale that sounds strong just from the name - it almost looks like it lifts weights!
Hop BroThat's pretty much right. Think high-alcohol and big presence. This time there's also Rustic Saison from Mugi Zakkoku Kobo Microbrewery, a straightforward, tasty one with that grainy character from rye coming through.
MugiSo Rustic Saison means a rustic saison. I always think of saison as refreshing, but with rye in it, it gets a lot earthier, like a breeze from the fields!
Hop BroAnd with an Imperial Stout added to the lineup, you can do a red, saison, and black tasting flight, which is great. Comparing the depth of aroma and the long finish in dark, high-alcohol styles is really fun.
MugiOnce you get to black beer, it's a three-way attack! Today it's bright red, aromatic saison, and heavy black beer, so the flavor mood swings never stop.
Hop BroWhat's more, the tap list is strong. With two vivo! collabs and Inkhorn Brewing's Hazy Double IPA, plus Kampai! Brewing's IPA and fruit lager, you can follow everything from staples to new arrivals all at once.
MugiThey even have chicken breast ham and German potato salad, which is way too much of a beer thief! By the time I go to Ikebukuro, I’m not thinking about how many beers I’ll have first - I’m thinking about how many dishes!
