Hop BroShimosuwa Town's Chiitoko Shoten tap lineup is pretty interesting on May 2, with four draft beers on offer. The moment you have dagashi, beer, and coffee under one roof, there's already a lot going on.
MugiWait, the same shop has dagashi and beer? That alone sounds fun, and the 10:00 to 22:00 hours are great too!
Hop BroThe highlight of the day is Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s Taiyo no Lager. True to its flagship status, it's a classic beer with a refreshing, dry profile and a crisp bitterness.
MugiWhat does dry mean!? I get the crisp bitterness, but does dry just mean it's easy to drink?
Hop BroExactly. In broad terms, it means the finish feels clean. It doesn’t leave much sweetness behind, so it flows straight into the next sip, which makes the lager's sharpness easy to enjoy.
MugiOhhh! Then Baird Brewing’s Rising Sun Pale Ale sounds great too! Just hearing 'citrus aroma' makes it feel like my nose is drinking first!
Hop BroThat’s the one the poster called a favorite beer, too. The balance of gentle bitterness and citrus character is really nice, and it’s the kind of beer you want to keep drinking even though it isn't flashy.
MugiThat’s so perfect! But 69IPA already sounds strong, and the 6.9% ABV makes it even more obvious!
Hop BroIt’s a beer that really delivers the full-bodied character of an IPA. If you want to properly take in hop aroma and bitterness, it’s a perfect fit, and among today's lineup it’s the one with the boldest personality.
MugiEven having Uchoten Brewing’s barrel-aged saison is so adventurous and fun! I really love that with Chiitoko Shoten, you can meet a different beer every time you go.
Hop BroExactly. Because they rotate multiple labels all the time, there’s always something new even if you just drop in casually. Do you finish with a lager, lean into aroma with the pale ale, or head off on a journey with the saison... it makes you want another drink, maybe two.
