MugiWait, the basement is getting that lively!? And 20 draft beers? That's the kind of lineup where you can't even choose!
Hop BroExactly. The heart of the anniversary is the two commemorative beers made in collaboration with CYCAD BREWING. The pale ale "42 (forty two)" and the English golden ale "16 (sixteen)" are the stars.
MugiOh wow, even the numbers sound stylish! But what does an English golden ale taste like?
Hop BroIn broad terms, it's a style where gentle malt sweetness and restrained hop aroma line up beautifully. With the anniversary collaboration added in, it's just right for enjoying a balanced malt character.
MugiOkay? But these strong names are totally piling up, and in my head the beers are lining up in a traffic jam!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. With Onidensetsu, Ushitora, Y Market, Inkhorn, Minoh, Daisen G, Left Hand, and Guinness all there, you can compare everything from IPA to stout in one go.
MugiWait, you can go from pale ale straight to stout too!? And a peanut butter stout? That sounds sweet and dangerous!
Hop BroAnd vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR is strong on food too. If you pair the beers with house-made crispy-crust pizza, sausages, and cold omelets, you get a perfect beer-friendly combination.
MugiThen I want to start with "42" and "16," and then tour through the IPAs and stouts! Let's make it a night of beer comparison in Ikebukuro!
Hop BroGood idea. Tasting each one in the anniversary atmosphere will definitely be delicious. Just reading about it makes me want to toast Ikebukuro already.
