Hop BroIn a daze Brewing & Taproom in Ina City, Nagano Prefecture, has put out its operating guide for Friday, April 10. A sakura garden and seven taps - this is basically a full spring assault.
MugiWait, you mean beer while looking at the cherry blossoms!? I can't even tell whether that's hanami or a drinking party anymore!
Hop BroAnd because the hours are 11:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., you can really take your time from lunchtime on. Indoor hanami even on rainy days is a pretty nice touch.
MugiThat tap list is interesting too, but what is American IPA w/ Salt!? Putting salt in beer feels a little too much like a beach shack.
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. Using salt in something like Sanshu IPA can keep the bitterness from getting too sharp and give it more definition, and Gonbei IPA with local rice brings out the 'taste of the land.'
MugiI see! Then Ina Biyori Pale Ale, labeled Strong Bitter, sounds gentle in the name but pretty solid on the inside?
Hop BroExactly. And that's why HAZY DAZE Sakura is so strong. It's a Dessert IPA made with Takato cherry blossoms, and the way it leans into spring all the way through the aroma and aftertaste is sneaky-good.
MugiTakato cherry blossoms? You mean the ones that are basically the star of the hanami show!? Putting those into beer is way too luxurious!
Hop BroAnd there’s also playful stuff like Coconut Anpan Stout and Kurashi Session Ale, while they’re also using lemon, salt, and local ingredients in different ways - that's very In a daze.
MugiWith herb sausage on the food menu too, and donuts as well, that’s a total win! This is the kind of place where you can’t stop at just beer or sweets.
Hop BroIf you can enjoy cherry blossoms and seven taps at the same time in Ina, of course you’d want to stop by. Today it’s not about choosing between flower viewing and drinking - do both.
MugiAgreed! Then the first drink of spring is decided here. You were already talking like you’re going next day off, weren't you?
