Hop BroThe April 22 KEG lineup update at TBE Brewing on the second floor in Minami-Ebisu is interesting. The lineup has a pretty wide range, from Italy to breweries all over Japan.
MugiWait, that much is on tap in Ebisu? 10 domestic and international beers sounds like the kind of place that is fun before you even choose!
Hop BroExactly. And the first one is PIZZAPILS FREE STYLE, a freestyle pils from CRAK Brewery. It has the lightness of a pilsner with a playful twist.
MugiFreestyle? What even is that? Is it a beer with no rules? I want to start from what a pils is!
Hop BroPut simply, a pils is a crisp lager-style beer. Freestyle pils adds personality to that, and the brewery's character shows up in the aroma and the way the bitterness is built.
MugiI see! Then the IPA lineup looks great too. A name like Rock and Roll IPA already sounds way too energetic!
Hop BroGood reaction. There are Shiga Kogen Beer's Snow Monkey IPA, Ishinomaki HOP WORKS' Lemon Hazy IPA, and even Hop Dog's DDH IPA, so it's perfect for comparing hop expressions.
MugiDDH is another new spell! Are the hop expressions really that different?
Hop BroDDH is basically a method that uses dry hopping twice or so to push the aroma forward. It tends to bring out citrus, green notes, and tropical character, so even the same IPA can feel like a completely different person.
MugiWow, that makes me want to compare them all! And if there are amber ales and pale ales too, it's easy to compare the shape of the bitterness.
Hop BroExactly. And the next-keg candidates include Black Tide's #480 Tohoku Pride and Ise Kadoya Beer's Classic Pale Ale, plus some capricious food specials. This is basically a keg tour in Ebisu.
MugiWow, sashimi and mountain vegetable tempura too? That's unfair! I want to go right now, and I want to drink while figuring out the order with Hop-bro!
Hop BroIt's settled. Start with something light, then finish with a strong-hop IPA at the end. Today my throat is already heading to Ebisu on its own while I think about the order to keep drinking.
