HOP MAN, a beer pub located in Chigasaki, Kanagawa, has newly tapped Minoh Beer’s Pale Ale Real Ale.

This pale ale is brewed with a generous blend of American hops. Its citrus-forward hop aroma comes through first, followed by a pleasant bitterness and a crisp, clean finish. The balanced profile is designed to pair well with food, making it suitable for both casual drinking and a meal at the pub.

The beer is served as a real ale. Unlike standard beer, which is stored and matured with carbon dioxide, real ale is matured with the carbonation released. The finished beer is therefore almost still. With less carbonation to mask the beer’s character, drinkers can take their time appreciating its aroma and flavor.

The combination of citrus aroma, moderate bitterness and a clean finish makes this an approachable table beer that is easy to enjoy over several glasses. Its balanced character is suited to a wide range of dishes, from Japanese cuisine to Western-style food.

Minoh Beer’s Pale Ale Real Ale received a silver medal at the 2015 International Brewing Awards. At HOP MAN, beer fans can experience this award-winning pale ale in a traditional real ale presentation.
