Hop BroWhat showed up at the Sapporo Susukino beer pub THE CRAFT was Susukino Brewing's "Susukino Session IPA."
MugiWhoa! Isn't that too much Susukino!? Even the beer name is a total overload of location info!
Hop BroAnd what's inside is great too. It's made with Hokkaido-grown wheat and Furano-grown hops, plus honey made on a rooftop in Susukino.
MugiRooftop honey, what even is that! Honey in beer sounds like it would turn into a sweet dessert or something!
Hop BroIt's less about making it sweet and more about adding aroma and body. It's designed around a tropical aroma and leaves a refreshing bitterness in the finish.
MugiOhhh! When you hear refreshing bitterness, it sounds like one of those dangerously easy-drinking beers!
Hop BroThe style is Session IPA, and the Alc. is 5.0%. It's easy to drink, but you can still really enjoy the hop character.
Mugi5.0% feels reassuring! But the `IBU -` notation makes it feel kind of secretive, which is intriguing!
Hop BroIBU is a rough guide to bitterness, but this one might be the kind you enjoy more by feel than by numbers. Since THE CRAFT has 33 draft beers, it's fun to compare them in small pours.
MugiWait, there's even a three-beer tasting set!? Then let's add charcoal-grilled hamburger steak or Chicago pizza and just declare victory for today!
Hop BroThat's a good idea. It's only a one-minute walk from Susukino Station, so let's start with this Session IPA first in a space like authentic New York.
MugiYeah, let's toast first with Susukino Session IPA! After that, once we're looking at all 33 beers, I bet we'll be going for another one before we know it!
