Hop BroDown in Motomachi, Kobe, a 10-tap anniversary run is happening at Beer Space On Tap. The fresh opening is Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Shiga Kogen IPA” from Nagano!
MugiWhat! A hidden basement beer pub with 10 taps? That already sounds like a field trip.
Hop BroAnd the headline pour is newly tapped Shiga Kogen IPA. It’s 6% ABV and one of Shiga Kogen Beer’s signature standard IPAs.
MugiWhoa, but a classic IPA means what for a beginner? Friendly first date, or bitter boot camp?
Hop BroThat’s the good part. It has big hop aroma, but the malt richness holds it up, so it doesn’t just smack you with bitterness.
MugiHang on, malt richness? Why does this suddenly sound like you’re reviewing soup?
Hop BroIt’s the sweetness and body from the grain, and that base turns it into bitterness with umami. Not just sharp, actually satisfying.
MugiOhhh, so bitter but delicious happens because the beer has that grainy cushion underneath. My first sip just got higher resolution.
Hop BroAnd it’s not only IPA. There’s Y.Market pale ale, Baeren Classic, wheat beer, and more. Ten taps of comparison heaven is exactly On Tap’s style.
MugiThen on the way home from holiday plans, we stop for that quick Motomachi pint first. I’m starting with Shiga Kogen IPA and absolutely cheating on it with a wheat beer after.
