Hop BroHinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome, Tokyo, has updated its tap list. This time it includes a new release, and the lineup is seriously intriguing.
MugiWhoa, 10 beers on tap is a lot! And there's a new one too? I'm already lost before I even choose!
Hop BroThe headliner is Pe-pe-pe. It's a Norwegian Farmhouse Pale Ale, and you can really feel the personality of the Norwegian yeast in it.
MugiWait, what is Norwegian yeast? How is it different from regular ale yeast?
Hop BroWell, it's a farmhouse-style yeast, so it tends to bring out orange-like character and a wild edge. It can also show coriander-like notes and a slight tartness.
MugiWow. And with ABV 4.5%, it's easy to drink too. It sounds like it's rich in flavor but still light enough that you could keep going forever!
Hop BroWhat's more, the lineup is mostly house-brewed, and the distinctive beers are all lined up. Sunny Side Mashup IPA, Shinmei Kölsch, Kurotobi Imperial, and Saburo Hazy are all there, so just deciding what to drink is part of the fun today.
MugiWhat are those names? They all sound amazing! But Komagome EX Bitter and Yunosu Saison are packed with so much information, both in the name and the flavor!
Hop BroIt's easy to go there too. Weekdays are 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and weekends and holidays are 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Because it's mostly counter seating and very casual, it's perfect for dropping in for a quick drink.
MugiAnd the food is dagashi candy and Kaki-Pi? That's the best! The beer is the main event, and the snacks feel refreshingly unpretentious. I love that!
Hop BroThere's also the potato chip dog on May 17 and the seasonal vegetable tapas day on May 24 and 25, so there are even more reasons to drink there. This is definitely the kind of place that makes you want to go tonight.
MugiI want to go! First I'd like to toast with Pe-pe-pe, then work my way through all 10 taps one by one!
