Hop BroAt RIOT BEER, the brewpub in Kinuta, Setagaya Ward, May 13 isn't just about business hours, it's packed with activity from the morning on.
MugiWait, from the morning? A cafe at 8:00 a.m.? For a beer place, they're up that early?!
Hop BroExactly. Elly and the Morning Activity Cafe starts at 8:00, then the taproom is open from 15:00 to 21:00, and on top of that they're brewing too.
MugiWhat is that! Doing a cafe and brewing on the same day sounds like the energy is glitched. That's full-speed all day!
Hop BroThat's what makes RIOT BEER feel like RIOT BEER. Brewing is part of the shop's atmosphere, and in the photo you can see the brewing scene in front of the tank. I like that it shows the process instead of the finished product.
MugiHuh. But is weighing hops really that important? Hop weighing looks plain, but somehow it's weirdly cool...!
Hop BroIt is important. Hops are the source of aroma and bitterness, and the impression changes depending on how they're added. RIOT BEER also values the malt body, so one of its strengths is that it doesn't come across as too light.
MugiBody, like the beer has muscles? When I hear malt richness, it sounds like I'd feel full after just a little bit!
Hop BroThat's not too far off. It means there is a foundation of thickness and sweetness in the mouthfeel. When that is layered with an American-leaning edge, the aroma stands out and the beer gains more heft.
MugiI see! And if they're even brewing with Cedar Mountain, that adds a collaboration vibe and makes it exciting!
Hop BroExactly. What's interesting is how the cafe, the brewing, and the regular service all overlap in a small brewery in a residential area. Fun before it's even made is exactly what kind of day this is.
MugiI can't take it, my throat is already waiting for beer just from reading this! It makes me want to go drink in the atmosphere of the brewing process itself!
