Hop BroHinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome announced that it will be open on Friday, April 10, from 15:00 to 22:00. And with nine taps already visible, this is a lineup that definitely catches your attention.
MugiWhoa, nine taps!? With that many on the board, I wouldn’t know where to start!
Hop BroThe first highlight is Sledgehammer DIPA. DIPA stands for Double IPA, and it’s a style that really amps up the hop aroma and bitterness.
MugiDouble IPA means, like, double the hops? Just the name sounds intoxicating!
Hop BroBasically, you can think of it as an IPA with stronger alcohol presence and hop character. And when you add a hazy, juicy style like Saburo Hazy, it becomes a lineup that hop lovers can’t resist.
MugiOhhh! So Kurotobi Double is probably one of the heavier ones too? The name already sounds intense!
Hop BroExactly. Alongside punchy beers like Kurotobi Double and Sunny Side Mashup DIPA, there are lighter-leaning options like Shiro Hitsuji Ale and Shinmei Breeze. And with Farmhouse Ale#3, Komagome EX Bitter#3, and Sauvignon Belgo #3 Summer in the mix, the range is huge.
MugiWait, they even have a Belgian stout and an ESB!? This is basically a beer fair!
Hop BroAnd because this is a beer-first shop, you can really focus on comparing the differences in flavor without food getting in the way. The quiet space tucked away in the backstreets is what makes it such a good place to slowly follow the state of Japanese craft beer right now.
MugiI already want to go on April 10...! Right now I feel like I’d want to start with Sledgehammer DIPA and work my way through them one by one!
Hop BroThat sounds perfect. Then let’s check out Hinomoto's current direction and dive into the sea of hops.
