Mugi, Old Boys Brewing in Hachioji is dropping 465Sirocco this Friday for its regular TGIF.
Mugi
What? That name 465Sirocco sounds intense! Why does a beer sound like a motorcycle?
Hop Bro
That is the fun part. It is a single-Simcoe IPA with citrus and piney aromas leading the way.
Mugi
Hold on, piney aroma? What is that, drinking a forest?
Hop Bro
Basically, it is a fresh forest vibe. This time they also added pilsner malt, so it lands a little lighter than before.
Mugi
Whoa, pilsner malt added makes it sound like science class, but you mean it is easier to keep sipping?
Hop Bro
Exactly, they are aiming for easy-drinking balance. Old Boys Brewing is in Yokoyamacho, Hachioji, and they serve fresh beer together with BUBBLE.

And TGIF even has outdoor grilling planned? Meat and fish with that aroma is just unfair!
Hop Bro
There is no way smoky grilled food misses with a hop-forward IPA. It sounds perfect for late summer, light on the palate but still properly IPA.
Mugi
I am done for, one drink in Hachioji is stuck in my head now! I need to test that foresty citrus combo.
Hop Bro
Then we settle it at Friday's TGIF. A glass of 465Sirocco with something fresh off the grill sounds exactly right.

My weekend beer plan is officially decided! Let us go drink the tail end of summer at Old Boys Brewing!
Old Boys Brewing says it will host its regular TGIF next Friday and release a new beer, 465Sirocco. According to the post, it is an IPA brewed with Simcoe hops only, giving it citrus and pine-driven aromas. This batch also includes pilsner malt, making the beer a little lighter and easier to drink than before.
Based in Yokoyamacho, Hachioji, the brewery presents itself as a Tokyo microbrewery making beer that adds something a little special to everyday life. It currently serves fresh craft beer alongside food at BUBBLE, its brewpub-style space in Hachioji.
The TGIF event will also feature outdoor grilling of meat and fish, making the beer-and-food pairing part of the draw. For drinkers looking for a hop-forward IPA to close out the summer, 465Sirocco looks like a clear beer to watch.
