Hop BroA new beer, Gakugei-Daimae, has just been tapped at SEKIYA TAP STAND in Kunitachi! It looks like a pretty big deal as a weekend beer.
MugiWait, the name sounds like a train station! Which brewery made it?
Hop BroIt's a new release from KUNITACHI BREWERY, a 4.5% Session IPA. It starts with bright citrus freshness and is designed to drink very lightly.
MugiWhat?! What is a Session IPA? I only think of IPAs as being bitter!
Hop BroSimply put, it has strong aroma but lower alcohol, so it's less tiring to drink. In other words, it's a high-drinkability design.
MugiHold on, you suddenly went all jargon on me! What does drinkability even mean!?
Hop BroIt means easy to keep drinking! And with this "Gakugei-Daimae," as the temperature rises, muscat and mango notes start to spread too.
MugiNice! So the flavor changes from the start to the finish? I want to experience that layered aroma change!
Hop BroAnd it's being offered in two formats, bottle and draft. Bottles are at the SAKE-BOUTIQUE SEKIYA storefront, and draft is at TAP STAND.
MugiThe previous "Hekireki" sold out fast, right? Hearing that makes it feel like an early check is a must!
Hop BroExactly. It's the second Puni Puni Denki collaboration, so it seems likely to move quickly. Tonight in Kunitachi, this is the one for your first and second pint!
