Hop BroThat regular-hours announcement in Hachioji is hard to miss. Shared Brewery’s taproom will be open this week on Friday from 17:30-22:00 and on Saturday, Sunday, and holidays from 14:00-21:00.
MugiWhoa! Being able to drink in Hachioji on the weekend is super helpful! And announcing it on Instagram feels very current.
Hop BroAnd with “citrus is just about in season now,” the brews using domestically grown lime and yuzu are in the final stretch. It sounds like the taps will be connected as soon as they open up.
MugiWhat does that even mean! As soon as taps open up sounds like waiting for beer to line up by itself? I’m getting kind of antsy!
Hop BroBasically, it means they tap the finished beers in order. Shared Brewery is a brewery founded to spread the joy of homebrewing, and it has the flexibility that only a small operation can offer.
MugiAh, I see! So that Yuzu POP IPA came out of that flexibility too? It already sounds delicious just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. Yuzu POP IPA is a fresh IPA blended with pesticide-free yuzu peel. The yuzu aroma comes forward, and the bitterness finishes with a nice snap.
MugiWait, I get fresh IPA, but what kind of language is WHITE MAGIC’s mash hopping!? It sounds like a magic spell!
Hop BroGood catch. It’s a hop-forward design, built by layering mash hopping, kettle hopping, and dry hopping to build aroma. And Coast Dwellers is a Nordic Coast IPA made with Norwegian Farmhouse Yeast, with a really nice balance of citrus character and bitterness.
MugiNow I definitely want to go drink! A pint in Hachioji this weekend might be the perfect timing to catch both the yuzu and the lime at their best.
