Hop BroThe Want a Beer tap list in Motoimaizumi, Utsunomiya is pretty bold for May 20. It has Ushitora, Be Easy Brewing, Karuizawa Q, and even two original beers for the 5th anniversary.
MugiWait, you can compare six beers? And the styles are all over the place? That sounds like a beer theme park!
Hop BroFirst up is Ushitora's Otona no Kan Beer Barrel Ver. It's an American IPA, a golden West Coast style with a crisp, clean finish and restrained malt character that feels great.
MugiWest Coast style means it tastes like it was raised by the ocean? Wait, no, but it suddenly has major surfer vibes!
Hop BroNo, no, it more strongly means the hops are the star. The next one, Be Easy Brewing's Tohoku 6 Hop, is a Hazy IPA with fruity, juicy character from New Zealand hops.
MugiOhhh! So hazy is like a deluxe cloudy treat. It already looks delicious, which almost feels unfair!
Hop BroExactly. And Karuizawa Q's Michisugara is an Irish Red. It has biscuit, caramel, and a hint of dried fruit, with a gentle sweetness that spreads slowly.
MugiBiscuit, caramel, dried fruit... that's like an assorted snack box! But isn't it heavy to drink?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting: the 5th-anniversary originals, Fresh!!! and SPECIALS, offer the exact opposite kind of fun. Fresh!!! is a Fruits Sour Ale made with hand-squeezed juice from five kinds of citrus, while SPECIALS is a Belgian White scented with coriander, plus amanatsu and kiyomi orange.
MugiAmazing! And the food is strong too, right? Okahijiki, Tosa Akaushi, and more? The lineup is practically calling for beer!
Hop BroHours are 17:00 to 22:00, with last order at 21:30. If you go for six beers with food in Utsunomiya, it's the kind of place that makes you want one more drink at the end.
MugiYeah, today's reason to go out for drinks is complete! On a day like this, toasting at Want a Beer is guaranteed to be a good time!
