Hop BroAt "Neko no Shukaijo" in Umegaoka, WCB's Starwatcher tap has arrived. True to a West Coast IPA, it's a beer that puts hop aroma and a satisfying bite front and center.
MugiWhat! Beer at a place called the cat gathering spot!? And West Coast IPA sounds like such a tough name!
Hop BroExactly. It's one of WCB's flagship-level favorites, and the appeal is that you can really enjoy the hop aroma. Anyone who likes a citrusy character and a crisp bitterness is going to love it.
MugiHop aroma can really be that different? When you say citrusy aroma, it sounds like juice to me!
Hop BroNot juice, but more like a clearly defined aromatic profile. And this place has six taps, which is great because it's not just about IPAs.
MugiWhoa! From Ao Oni Pilsner to cider and Saison, that's such a wide lineup! I'd get lost trying to choose based on my mood that day!
Hop BroGetting lost is part of the fun. If you want a lager, go with Ao Oni Pilsner; if you want something refreshing, Hard Cider; if you want something toasty, Rauchbock; and then finish with Starwatcher.
MugiWhat's a Rauchbock!? We've got so many technical terms today my brain is in smoke mode!
Hop BroIt's a beer made with smoked malt. That's why it has a roasty aroma and pairs well with food. This place serves spice food too, so the pairing with a West Coast IPA should be very promising.
MugiI see, so it's not just about bitterness, but also the fun of pairing it with food! And if you can drink and buy cans and bottles in the shop too, comparing labels sounds fun as well!
Hop BroBusiness hours are 15:00 to 24:00, so it's perfect for a relaxed drinking day in Umegaoka. I'm starting to feel like having a drink at Neko no Shukaijo today.
MugiYeah, I really want to drink now too! First one Starwatcher, then let's work our way through the taps one by one!
