THE DODO HOUSE in Meguro announces a new Good Hops IPA and seven draft beers
Craft Beer & Wine THE DODO HOUSE in Meguro announced its lineup for August 7, including a new draft IPA from Good Hops. Friday service was shifted by a private event, with regular hours running from 9:00 p.m. to midnight.
Hop BroMeguro's THE DODO HOUSE just dropped seven fresh taps for August 7. The big one is a newly opened Good Hops IPA, and regular hours are only 9 p.m. to midnight because Friday has a private party.
MugiWait, 9 p.m. opening and still seven beers? That's not a nightcap, that's a mission!
Hop BroThe star is clearly the 'IBUKI'-led IPA. It's built around Tono-grown IBUKI hops, with grapefruit and floral aromas plus a soft herbal bitterness.
MugiWhoa, what does herbal mean here? Is this beer secretly a salad?
Hop BroIt sounds fancy, but it's really a green, fresh note. That leafy IBUKI character props up the citrus aroma instead of bulldozing it.
MugiWhat is that, a two-step aroma combo? And those other names like Hakuchu Dodo and Ifudo Dodo sound like they walk in wearing capes!
Hop BroExactly, it's a domestic all-star lineup. You get Kankiku Brewery x THE DODO HOUSE collabs, Kyoto Brewing's 'Sharaku Extra Special Bitter,' Ooyama G Beer IPA, Mugizakkoku Kobo, and Mahou Brew all on the same board.
MugiHold on, Extra Special Bitter sounds like a teacher grading my life. Is it super bitter?
Hop BroThe name is dramatic, but it's more British-style bitter. Think toasty malt and balance, not a bitterness uppercut.
MugiOhhh, it's like a tasting trip in Meguro. If the pub is calm too, I'd want to work through them one by one.
Hop BroThat's the appeal: a tour of brewer personalities in one stop. Pair it with their Japanese-Western food and start with the IBUKI IPA, and I'm in.
MugiThen it's settled, first pour at 9 and we're chasing all seven taps. Now I absolutely want a glass.
