Hop BroAt Beer shop Llama in Mitaka, Shiga Kogen Beer's Kind of Gold has been tapped. Being able to drink it on draft after the advance bottle release is pretty hot news for beer fans.
MugiWhat! It's on draft too? If the bottle I was curious about became a keg, there's no reason not to go!
Hop BroAnd this one is a collaboration between DOGFISH HEAD, OXBOW, and SHIGA KOGEN, and it's an Imperial IPA w/Rice & Honey. Because it uses rice and honey, it's not just bitter; the recipe is designed a little differently.
MugiWhoa, that's a lot of info all at once! What changes when you brew with rice and honey?
Hop BroPut simply, rice helps lighten the mouthfeel, and honey adds aroma and a soft sweetness. So you get a finish where sweetness and dryness coexist, which is the kind of result that makes you grin.
MugiOhh! Sweet yet dry sounds contradictory, but delicious! If it also has citrus notes, it should be really easy to drink.
Hop BroThe ABV is 8.0%, so it still has plenty of heft. And because it isn't too heavy, the description hoppy and dry really fits.
MugiHoppy means the hops are really coming through, right? The name sounds cute, but it sounds like the bitterness stands out!
Hop BroExactly, it's the hop aroma and bitterness taking the lead. Plus, Beer shop Llama's tap list has a wide range of styles, so it's fun to choose based on your mood.
MugiFruit Life, DDH Hazy, and dry stout are all on tap, which is way too many good options! I won't be able to decide what to order first!
Hop BroThat's why the right move is to start with Shiga Kogen Beer's Kind of Gold as your first drink, and then work your way through the tap list.
MugiYeah, I totally want to go drink now! Let's do a tasting tour in Mitaka and decide the next beer based on how we feel today!
