Hop BroAt PEPOWN in Chigasaki, Sun2Diner is holding a POP UP CHEF. On Wednesday, May 6 from 12:00 to 22:00, it's a setup where you can dig into burgers and beer in a big way.
MugiWait, it's running from noon to night!? That's the kind of thing you can swing by after work. And just hearing "burger" gets me hyped!
Hop BroThe stars this time are the Mac'n'Pork Burger, made with a hand-kneaded 100% beef patty, and the spice-packed Jerk Chicken. Since you can also get takeout from noon, it's easy to pair them casually.
MugiWhat is that! Macaroni and cheese plus pulled pork? That's way too much information in one burger! It feels like an everything-on-it kind of dish!
Hop BroThat's exactly the appeal. The Gigantic IPA is Gigantic Brewing Company's North West IPA at 6.9%, and its hop aroma and bitterness really stand up to the burger's richness.
MugiI hear people talk about hop aroma a lot, but does that mean it's not just bitter? It sounds kind of hard to understand, but now I'm curious.
Hop BroExactly. It can also give off citrusy or pine-like aromas. That's why IPA also helps cut through the fat in meat, making it a great match for something as hearty as the Mac'n'Pork Burger.
MugiOh wow! Then what kind of beer is The Golden Time? The name alone is already way too stylish!
Hop BroThe Golden Time is an Italian Pilsner by Yorocco Beer in Kamakura, at 5.5%. It has the crispness you'd expect from a pilsner, and it smoothly carries away the spice from the Jerk Chicken.
MugiWait, so pilsner is the kind of beer that refreshes your palate!? That sounds like exactly what you'd want after spicy chicken.
Hop BroAnd there's also Bonfire Stout from Chigasaki's Passific Brewing. It has a roasted character and is perfect with the charcoal-grilled Jerk Chicken or as the final drink of the night.
MugiNice, a three-beer tasting that changes the way the food feels sounds fun just imagining it... At this point, PEPOWN is basically pulling me in already!
Hop BroRight? If they put together a combo like this in the south exit area of Chigasaki Station, you can't help but react. Whether you go with the burger or the chicken, and whether you start with an IPA or finish with a stout, it's the kind of outing that's fun before you even start drinking.
MugiI've decided! Let's gather with beer first today. I want to try the Gigantic IPA and Bonfire, and if The Golden Time is lined up too, I'll probably want to mash the order button again and again!
