Hop BroToday we're talking about ROMEO BREWERY in Oshiage, a beer pub with nine kinds of house-brewed beer on the menu. Being able to drink while looking at the tanks inside the shop is irresistible for any beer nerd.
MugiWhat, you can drink while looking at the tanks!? And it’s housemade craft beer in Oshiage? That sounds like a secret base and makes me excited!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is really broad. There’s Lemonglass Kölsch with lemongrass, Weizen #2 with banana notes, and Cleopatra Romance #3 with hibiscus and raspberry.
MugiWait, wait, what are Kölsch and Weizen!? They just look like German-sounding spells to me!
Hop BroIn short, Kölsch is crisp and easygoing, while Weizen is known for the softness of wheat and yeast-derived aromas. So the direction of the aroma is pretty different.
MugiI see! So stuff like Hazy Light or Bitter Orange IPA is the kind of beer you enjoy for the hop aroma, right?
Hop BroExactly. Hazy Light, made with Sabro and Citra, leans juicy, and the Amarillo-based Bitter Orange IPA has a clean citrus edge. It’s also nice that they carry the British-style malt character of Extra Special Bitter.
MugiWhat, they have sour ones and dark ones too!? The flavor range is way too wide. It’s amazing that you can cover everything in one place!
Hop BroThat’s what makes ROMEO BREWERY interesting. Black Botanical Saison combines juniper berries and saison yeast, Kill Your Black uses seven kinds of malt, and Doppel Bock has that cocoa-like bittersweetness, so every glass has its own personality.
MugiAnd the food is things like fried chicken, porchetta, and bolognese, all tailored to beer, which is great! If it’s built around pairing, even deciding what to order is fun.
Hop BroAnd it’s right at the foot of Tokyo Skytree in Oshiage 2-chome, so you can relax and drink there. It has counter seats too, so it’s also good for drinking alone.
MugiJust hearing about it makes me want a drink! I’d start with the three-beer tasting set and finish with pasta!
