Hop BroHinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome came out saying it's doing a 10-tap refresh on March 28. The range is pretty wide, from NZ pale ale to Belgian stout.
MugiWhoa! Ten beers on tap? With that many, I'd get so overwhelmed I'd turn into foam trying to choose!
Hop BroStart with the lighter styles, they're interesting. There's Kohatu Pale Ale, dry-hopped red ale, saison, and even Italian pilsner, so it's a lineup that's easy to keep drinking through in a spring-like way.
MugiWhat is that! Italian pilsner? It's Italian, but it's a pilsner? The nationalities are already in traffic jam mode!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It uses a base of light lager-like drinkability, then adds character through hops and aroma, so the drinking experience can be crisper than the name suggests.
MugiI see! Then Yuzu Sour Saison sounds interesting too! Just hearing yuzu makes my mouth pucker and wakes me right up!
Hop BroExactly, and then Kuro Hitsuji no Ale and Shiro Hitsuji no Ale come in as well. They're collaborations with Sanriku Beer, and since they're Black IPA and Belgian Hazy IPA, the insides are pretty bold even though they're both "sheep."
MugiWait, sheep, but a black IPA and a hazy?! I pictured something cute, and then the inside was suddenly all glittery and intense!
Hop BroAnd to finish, there's Kurotobi #4, a Belgian stout, so the tasting ends strong. There are also Best Bitter and Brown Saison, so the lineup lets you play all the way from bitterness to roast.
MugiThis is totally a perfect day for tasting! I want to try lots of flavors in small amounts and find my favorite!
Hop BroOn top of that, there's seasonal ingredient tapas by the guest chef on March 28 and 29, and they're also set up at the Harimazaka Cherry Blossom Festival. It's the perfect timing for bar-hopping through spring with a beer in hand.
MugiWow, it feels like the taste of spring in a glass! Drink at the taproom today, drink at the cherry blossom festival tomorrow... before I know it, the whole weekend will vanish like foam!
