Hop BroToday's highlight is the new tap lineup opened on March 14 at Grau Craft beer bar in Fujimino, Saitama.
MugiWhoa! The main feature is CAMADO's Belle Foncé Barley Wine? That name alone sounds powerful!
Hop BroExactly. The style is a Raisin Barley Wine, and it's a rich one with raisins added plus more than a year of aging since brewing at the end of September 2024.
MugiWhat?! "Depth developed through maturation" sounds amazing, but what does it actually taste like to my palate?
Hop BroWell, the dried fruit character from oxidative aging layers together with a smooth mouthfeel and malt richness, making it a beer you want to sip slowly.
MugiOhhh! And if there are six taps, this is basically a beverage comparison paradise!
Hop BroThe ON TAP lineup has BLACK TIDE's IPA, BREWCCOLY's Kölsch, FLORA's Hazy DIPA, TAROS's Imperial Stout, CAMADO's barley wine, and VERTERE's Grape Sour, so you've got everything from rich and heavy to hoppy.
MugiSo broad! Then it's basically a strategy meeting about whether to go right now or wait for the NEXT TAP lineup!
Hop BroNEXT TAP is scheduled to be BLACK TIDE "Sakura Ver.6.0," NAMACHAん "New Journey IPA," and VERTERE "Passiflora," and with business hours from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., plus mini ice cake and fried chicken with yurinchi sauce, it's a total pairing victory.
MugiI've decided! First I'll savor the CAMADO, then bounce over to an IPA next for a two-stage rocket drink!
Hop BroNice. Today we'll start with the rich stuff at Grau, and next time make it a hoppy session too with a back-to-back sortie plan!
