Hop BroIkebukuro's vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR just posted about roughly 20 draft beers and daily pairings on Instagram, and that basically builds your drinking plan for you.
MugiWait, around 20 beers on tap? I'd still be choosing my first one when they start closing!
Hop BroThat’s the beauty of it, the day-by-day pairings are already mapped out. Monday is Kin Oni Pale Ale with celery in lemon soy sauce, and Tuesday is weizen with house-made ham, so the route is basically flawless.
MugiHold on, what even is weizen? The name sounds like a spell!
Hop BroWeizen is a style with soft wheat aroma. It can give off a banana-like note, and with house-made pork ham it lands in a really gentle, rounded place.
MugiWhoa, gentle and rounded sounds classy! My dinners are usually held together by pure momentum!
Hop BroWednesday's Mata Ashita Hazy IPA with a summer vegetable and tuna omelet is strong too. Hazy IPA looks cloudy, but the aroma is bright and the drinking feel is friendly.
MugiWhat is that! A cloudy IPA that's still approachable is basically the scary-looking senior who's actually super nice!
Hop BroThursday is Revision IPA with thick-cut roast pork, Friday is FLOWER with shrimp pasta, and Saturday even has Old Rasputin with gelato. At that point, I already want to head to Ikebukuro for a drink.
MugiI'm fully in, I want to drink there! Start me with Kin Oni Pale Ale and let me finish with Old Rasputin. I'm putting 'cheers' on my calendar.
