MugiWhoa, what's a Cold IPA? It's an IPA, but "cold"? Just the name already sounds ice-cold!
Hop BroGood catch. Think of it as a refreshingly cool IPA - clean and easy to drink. It's not heavy, but the hop aroma still comes through nicely.
MugiOhhh! So it's the kind you can really drink gulp after gulp. And being introduced as "Good evening, it's Hikage" is kind of cute too.

MugiHakuba vibes on the third floor of a building in Shiki - that's a pretty romantic trip for such a short distance! Hearing 10 taps in the bar makes even choosing feel fun already.
Hop BroExactly. Half Yard Shiki pairs well with food, so it's excellent as a meal beer too. Drinking it from the first glass as something that goes with dinner is likely to work really well.
MugiIf it's a meal beer, what should you pair it with? Pizza? Fried chicken? Or is it one of those beers that goes with everything?
Hop BroYeah, the range is pretty broad. Because it has hop aroma, it goes well with fried foods and meat dishes, and it's also nice to enjoy the aroma with lighter snacks. In other words, pretty much anything works!
MugiThat sounds like a beer I want to drink... I definitely want to keep it on my list of places around Shiki Station, and I want to keep following the guest rotations too.
