Craft beer kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki in Yokohama’s Hinodecho area has announced a six-beer tap list for Thursday, September 17. The lineup includes beers from Sunriver Brewing, Hoppu-Kotan Brewery, Flora Fermentation, and more.
Hop BroCraft beer kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki in Hinodecho, Yokohama, has a six-tap lineup on offer. It is a very Noge-style beer pub where you can pair craft beer with Chinese food.
MugiWhat! Beer and Chinese food sounds like the best pairing ever! What can we drink?
Hop BroThe standout is Sunriver Brewing from Oregon, USA, with its Rippin pale ale. It is a Northwest Pale Ale with aromas reminiscent of tropical fruit, citrus, and pine resin.
MugiPine resin—the sticky stuff from trees!? A beer with a pine-resin-like aroma? Will I get lost in a forest after drinking it?
Hop BroNo wilderness rescue needed. It means a fresh, green, pine-like hop aroma. Rippin is aromatic but has a clean, crisp bitterness, so it works beautifully with food.
MugiWow! I want it with steamed chicken, green Sichuan pepper, and scallion sauce. That refreshing hop aroma and all those green notes must be best friends.
Hop BroHokkaido’s Hoppokotan Brewery also brings two beers: Tansho Mosaic and Castor. Mosaic is a hop variety that often gives impressions of mango, berries, and citrus.
MugiWhat is this! Tansho sounds like a horse-racing bet, but Mosaic is a hop!? Putting a hop variety name in the beer name makes me feel like a betting expert!
Hop BroThere is also Siren from Flora Fermentation and Bottom Cutter from Bale Breaker Brewing. Castor is listed as a regular-venue exclusive, so it is one to catch while you can.
MugiI’ll enjoy Rippin’s aroma, sweat over mapo tofu, and hunt down the exclusive Castor! I suddenly want to visit Kokoro no Tsuki for a hop tasting flight!
