Hop BroToday we're talking about Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand. On March 29, there will be 10 taps lined up in Komagome.
MugiWhoa, 10-tap service!? With that many, my brain would start foaming before I even decided!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is great too. It ranges from NZ hop beers like Kohatu Pale Ale to a crisp pilsner.
MugiNZ hops? What's that? Do hops from the Southern Hemisphere really change the flavor that much?
Hop BroIn simple terms, the aroma of NZ hops often brings out white grape-like notes and tropical character. So Kohatu Pale Ale is fun from the aroma alone.
MugiOhhh! Then Yuzu Sour Saison already sounds refreshingly delicious just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. And Black Sheep Ale and White Sheep Ale are collaboration beers with Sanriku Beer, so they really stand out in the article.
MugiBlack and white sheep together is way too cute! But Black IPA is black, yet still an IPA?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. A Black IPA has the richness of roasted malt while still keeping the hop aroma firmly in the spotlight. It's dark in appearance, but hop character leads the way on the palate.
MugiAnd if there are even seasonal tapas, then I want to camp out there from noon onward!
Hop BroIt's from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on March 29, and in Komagome during cherry blossom season, it's perfect beer tasting weather. Right, this is the kind of day where one drink each definitely won't be enough.
MugiDeal! Let's start with the White Sheep Ale, then the Black Sheep, and finish with tapas!

A Komagome Spot to Enjoy with Tapas
On Saturday, March 28 and Sunday, March 29, seasonal tapas by guest chef Tatsunosuke Taba will also be available. Normally this brewpub serves only domestic craft beer and keeps the food offering modest, but on this day you can also enjoy a plate to go with your beer, which is a welcome addition. With the easy-to-use 3:00 p.m. opening on weekends and holidays, it is a place well suited to lingering over glasses in Komagome during cherry blossom season.
