Hop BroToday's big topic is Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Hon-Komagome. On Sunday, August 9, from 3 to 10 p.m., they're pouring eight house-made beers in a relaxed counter-style brewpub setup.
MugiWait, eight house brews in one place? From IPA to stout? That's not a tap list, that's a beer amusement park!
Hop BroThe range is serious. You can start light with Little Thing, a dry-hopped session ale, then finish with Kurotsuru #4, a Belgian stout. It's basically a full-flavor rollercoaster.
MugiHold on, dry-hopped sounds like a wizard spell. Do they dry the hops and then whisper to the tank?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's adding hops after fermentation to boost aroma. It's less about extra bitterness and more about citrusy, herbal, fresh-hop character.
MugiOooh! So Saburo Hazy and Rolling Lolly are the hop-aroma squad? Even the names sound like they crash the party first!
Hop BroThat's the idea. Saburo Hazy is a juicy Hazy IPA, Rolling Lolly is a sharper American IPA, and Mashup IPA Ekuanot is a Belgian IPA so the yeast brings its own personality too.
MugiWhat is this, now the yeast has personality too? I thought beer was a two-person act, and suddenly the side cast is stealing the show!
Hop BroThat's what makes it fun. If you want crisp, go with Ryusui Soso #2, the Italian Pilsner. For tart fruit, try Pineapple Gose. For malt balance, Komagome Best Bitter is like a tasting flight textbook.
MugiMy plan is locked in. Start with Ryusui Soso #2, slide into Saburo Hazy, then finish with Kurotsuru #4... this makes me want to rush to Hon-Komagome right now!
At Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome, Bunkyo-ku, the tap list was updated for Sunday, Aug. 9. The brewery pub was open from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., with Wednesdays closed. It is an easygoing counter-style spot where drinkers can focus on the beer itself.
The lineup covered a wide range of styles: a dry-hopped session ale, a hazy IPA, an Italian pilsner, a Belgian IPA, an American IPA, a pineapple gose, an English best bitter, and a Belgian stout. In other words, this is the kind of list that lets you move from bright hop aroma to clean malt character and then into sour or roasty territory without leaving the same room.
Beers on tap
- Little Thing / Dry Hopped Session Ale, 4.5%
- Saburo Hazy / Hazy IPA, 7%
- Ryusui Sozo #2 / Italian Pilsner, 5.5%
- Mashup IPA Ekuanot / Belgian IPA, 6.5%
- Rolling Lolly / American IPA, 7.5%
- Pineapple Gose / Gose Style with pineapple, 5%
- Komagome Best Bitter / English Best Bitter, 4.5%
- Kurotsuru #4 / Belgian Stout, 7%
For hop-forward drinking, Saburo Hazy and Rolling Lolly stand out. For a cleaner, more balanced pint, Ryusui Sozo #2 and Little Thing fit well. If you want acidity and fruit, the Pineapple Gose is the obvious pick, while Komagome Best Bitter and Kurotsuru #4 cover the more malt-driven end of the list.
