Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand announces Mikattei pop-up and 10 taps for Aug. 24
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome, Tokyo, will open from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 24, and host a Mikattei pop-up by Hinomoto family member Mikako. The post also lists a 10-slot tap lineup alongside handmade dumplings and Japanese sake.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Hon-Komagome and its August 24 lineup with Mikattei and ten taps.
MugiWait, a Mikattei pop-up? What is that, beer night turning into dinner theater?
Hop BroPretty much. It’s open 5 to 10 p.m. that day, with handmade boiled dumplings, sake, and leftover achar, so it’s a special twist night instead of the usual setup.
MugiWhoa, and ten taps sounds intense. With a seven-beer lineup, where is a beginner even supposed to start?
Hop BroStart light with Little Thing, a Dry Hopped Session Ale at 4.5%. “Session” means easy-drinking, and dry hopping boosts aroma, so it’s basically light but aromatic.
MugiDry hopping...? What is that, some kind of magic hop seasoning sprinkled on top?
Hop BroClose in spirit, wrong in method. Hops get added late in fermentation to push aroma over bitterness, which is how IPAs like Saboro Hazy and Rolling Lolly get that aroma-first punch.
Mugi“Aroma-first punch” makes the beer sound like an action hero. And then there’s pineapple gose too? That’s a tangy fun slot in the lineup, right?
Hop BroExactly. Gose brings gentle salinity and tartness that works with fruit, Komagome Best Bitter gives calm maltiness, and Kurotobi #4, a Belgian Stout, adds yeast character. The real appeal is the huge flavor range.
MugiFrom easy session beer to IPA, gose, bitter, and stout... that sounds like a tasting paradise. Add dumplings and I’m in trouble.
Hop BroThat’s the strength of a brewpub: you can compare the house-made beers directly, and food changes how each one lands. For a few slow pints in Komagome, this looks like a seriously strong night.
MugiI’m sold. Dumplings first, Little Thing to start, and Kurotobi #4 to finish. I want all ten taps right now!
