Hop BroAt PUMP craft beer bar in Minami-Ikebukuro, the April 22 lineup of 10 beers has been unveiled. Today, Johnny Utah and Blazing Buds really stand out.
MugiWhoa, what's Johnny Utah? That sounds like a movie name, but is the origin of the name part of the fun too?
Hop BroExactly. It's named after the character from *POINT BREAK*. It's Georgetown Brewing's Citra Pale Ale, and it's a beer with a clean, refreshing citrus character from Citra hops.
MugiCitra is like a lemon-flavored magic spell? When you say citrusy, I get so confused because it already sounds delicious!
Hop BroIt does sound magical, but it's the name of a hop variety. The other beer, Blazing Buds, is West Coast Brewing's Amber IPA, and it's inspired by Modern Times' *Blazing World*.
MugiAmber IPA means it's kind of reddish in color? If it has a solid roasted depth, I'm interested!
Hop BroYeah, it's the kind of beer where you look at the balance between malt depth and hop bitterness. And since there's a beer flight of 4 where you can choose four beers from the day's lineup, you can compare as you drink.
MugiThat's amazing! From something offbeat like Earl Grey to something comparatively rich like Full Hop Alchemist r7, it's too fun!
Hop BroExactly. With Weizen, Hazy IPA, DIPA, and BBA Pastry Stout all on the list, it's a lineup that lets you travel from light to rich and full-bodied in one go.
MugiThat mood in Ikebukuro is unfair! Since it's open from 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, it makes me want to raise a glass in Minami-Ikebukuro!
Hop BroThen let's compare the citrus of Johnny Utah and the toastiness of Blazing Buds and look for the right answer to a tasting flight.
MugiYes, I'm going to do the flight and get everything I'm curious about! Tonight is PUMP for sure!
