Hop BroSagamihara's craft beer BLUE is stacked today. On August 8 they tapped two new beers, and eight taps total makes this a lineup worth talking about.
MugiWhat! Tagiru and BRAVE RABBIT already sound intense. Which breweries are they from, and what kind of beers are they?
Hop BroOne headliner is Tagiru from Miyazaki's NOVORU, a West Coast Pale Ale with white grape, muscat, pear, melon, and a hint of tropical fruit.
MugiOoh! But when people say dry finish, do they mean it steals every drop of moisture from your mouth?
Hop BroNot full desert mode. It means less lingering sweetness, so it drinks crisp, and Tagiru's sharp bitterness makes it perfect for hot weather.
MugiOkay, that's a crusher. But NOMCRAFT Brewing's BRAVE RABBIT says DDH IPA, and now the abbreviations feel like a final boss.
Hop BroDDH basically means piling on hops for extra aroma, so think double aroma boost. BRAVE RABBIT brings Nelson Sauvin, a special yeast, Mosaic Dynaboost, Hop Kief, and rye spice into a New England leaning glass.
MugiWhat is that, a spell list? Nelson Sauvin, Dynaboost, Hop Kief... I can't stop laughing. So this means white grape aromatics and big juicy IPA energy, right?
Hop BroThat's basically it. And the full list goes from Fruited Wheat and West Coast IPA to sour, Hazy IPA, DIPA, and porter, so it's light to rich all in one day.
MugiThat's evil in the best way. If they open at 3 p.m. on Saturday, this is basically tasting flight Saturday waiting to happen.
Hop BroI'd start sharp with Tagiru, then swing juicy with BRAVE RABBIT. If I still have room for Peanut Butter Po-taro, that's the full clear route right there.
MugiI'm finished, I want a pint now. At craft beer BLUE in Sagamihara, I already want to argue over the first pour being Tagiru or BRAVE RABBIT.
