Hop BroToday, the new tap in Shimokitazawa is hot. At Beer Bar Festa (Festa) Shimokitazawa, Burnt Mill's red IPA "Crimson Highway" went on tap on April 17.
MugiWhoa! Crimson Highway sounds fast just from the name! Does red IPA mean a red beer?
Hop BroBasically, yes. It has a grainy malt character, and it's a style where both color and toasty notes come through well. This one’s key point is that it's properly bitter.
MugiProperly bitter is kind of funny! So a full-bodied pint means more of a slow-sipper than something you gulp down?
Hop BroThat's right. It's not just hop aroma; it also has malt depth, so it feels like a bitterness-first design.
MugiI see. Then the domestic lineup is tempting too, and with 11 draft beers total on the tap list, I'd be torn over what to start with!
Hop BroThe domestic side is strong too. There are distinctive beers lined up, like Shiga Kogen's "Fresh Hop Grisette" and Isekadoya's "Fresh Pressed Beyond the Pacific."
MugiI'd be tipsy just from the names! And being able to stop by easily near Shimokitazawa Station and enjoy darts too means beer and fun in one!
Hop BroExactly. There's also the late-night single house tournament starting at 11 p.m., the April 21 "Beer Lovers' Meeting," and the May 17 "Shimokitazawa Darts Festival," so it's a place you can enjoy late into the night.
MugiI'm done for, I'm already craving it just from reading! I want to go now and order a bitter pint!
