MugiWow, Hima Bitter already sounds intriguing! It's cute, but does "bitter" mean it's actually bitter?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: it doesn't just push bitterness, it starts with biscuit-like toastiness. Then bright aromas reminiscent of peach tea and strawberry come through, giving it a lively finish.
MugiPeach tea and strawberry? Does that even still look like beer? What kind of creature is a session bitter anyway!
Hop Bro“Session” means it's easy to drink. At 4% ABV, it's the sort of beer you can keep sipping without overthinking it, a kind of "well-behaved long-haul companion."
MugiI get it! So it's not a straight shot to getting drunk, but something you can drink slowly. It sounds like it'd go well with snacks too!
Hop BroExactly. The finish is clean and there’s a refined sweetness, so it doesn't get in the way of the food. That's very much easy to pair with meals, which is typical of Himalaya table.
MugiWait, so drinking that while eating in Kanda would be amazing! Having a beer like that in the Kanda Station area is unfair!
Hop BroAnd this time, the shop's Instagram says it was tapped starting today, so there’s a limited-time feel to it. It feels like the spirit of the 13th anniversary has been poured straight into the glass, and that gives you a reason to drink it now.
MugiWow, just being a milestone beer makes me want to drink it! Tonight, I have to go look for the one that smells like biscuits.
Hop BroThat's settled then. Let's raise a toast tonight and taste 13 years of Himalaya table together.
