Meguro’s THE DODO HOUSE updates its June 5 tap list with seven Japanese draft beers
Craft Beer & Wine THE DODO HOUSE in Meguro has updated its June 5 “Today's Beer!!” lineup. The seven taps span breweries from Nagano, Hiroshima, Nara, Miyagi, Yamaguchi, and Chiba, plus one Japan-U.S. collaboration.
Hop BroMeguro's Craft Beer & Wine THE DODO HOUSE updated Today's Beer!! on June 5, and this lineup of seven domestic taps is seriously strong.
MugiWait, that's the place that champions lesser-known Japanese goodies, right? Seven beers from around Japan sounds like a road trip in a glass!
Hop BroExactly. They've got Uchoten Brewing's Aria, Shimanami Brewery's Strike Pilsner, and Nara Brewing's Kaber, so the regional range is really fun.
MugiOkay, pause. I keep nodding like I know this, but I do not. What kind of beer is Strike Pilsner anyway?
Hop BroA pilsner is a crisp, easy-drinking lager with a clean finish and tidy hop bitterness, so just file it under great first pint.
MugiOhhh! Then what on earth is Ishinomaki Hop Works' Oolong Tea Golden Ale? The name alone is chaos!
Hop BroIt layers tea-like aroma and a gentle tannic edge; if I go full beer nerd, the adjunct design is clever, but basically it's tea shaking hands with beer.
MugiAdjunct design? You lost me in the lab coat. So that means I can expect oolong-like aroma too?
Hop BroExactly. And there's also Dogfish Head × Oxbow × Shiga Kogen's Kind of Gold, which gives the list one Japan-US collab for extra buzz.
MugiThat is wildly stacked! Add Yamaguchi Ji-Beer's IPA and Kankiku Brewery's Your Crush, and this becomes a compare-and-contrast trap.
Hop BroAnd THE DODO HOUSE isn't just about the taps. You can settle in with creative Japanese-Western dishes, so it's a full meal-and-beer stop.
MugiI'm done pretending to be calm. Start me with Aria, land me on the IPA, and let's get pulled straight to Meguro.
