Hop BroSimply put, it’s a classic style that emphasizes herbs and fruit aromas more than hop bitterness, and this one gives off an expressive, aromatic vibe.
MugiNice! Then I also want to compare the IPA lineup, like Otaki Beer and Varietal’s Sup Cuz Hazy IPA, so many choices!
Hop BroOn top of that, Pohjala’s Maple Banger is an Imperial Stout, Onidensetsu’s Kinki Pale is the Real Ale version, and they’ve even got cider in the mix, which is pretty interesting.
MugiGUINNESS, Tokyo Craft Pale Ale, and even SAPPORO Edel Pils too? That’s an insanely wide range! It’s beginner-friendly too!
Hop BroHours are 15:00 to 24:00, and food will be served in a limited buffet format from around 15:00 to 19:00, so getting there early is the right move.
