TWO RABBITS releases HOPZILLA: SUPER SAUVIN
TWO RABBITS BREWING COMPANY, based in Omihachiman, Shiga, has released HOPZILLA: SUPER SAUVIN, the latest beer in its single-hop XPA series. Built around New Zealand Super Sauvin, it highlights tropical hop character with a light 4.5% ABV.
Hop BroBig release today: the latest HOPZILLA from Two Rabbits Brewing. It’s called HOPZILLA: SUPER SAUVIN, and the name alone is already showing off.
MugiWhat! That name is ridiculous! Super Sauvin sounds less like a beer and more like a finishing move.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s from Two Rabbits Brewing in Omihachiman, Shiga, and it’s a single-hop XPA built around New Zealand-grown Super Sauvin.
MugiHold on, single-hop XPA? You can’t just throw a spell at me like that. Is that beer language or exam language?
Hop BroIn simple terms, one featured hop drives the aroma in a light, easy-drinking pale ale. You get character without the beer feeling too heavy.
MugiOoh, okay! So what does Super Sauvin smell like? The name sounds like a boss fight, but maybe the flavor is secretly tropical?
Hop BroVery tropical, actually. The release calls out guava and nectarine vibes, plus sweet, juicy citrus layered on top.
MugiNo way! And it’s 4.5% ABV? That’s afternoon beer territory! How does something that aromatic stay so easygoing?
Hop BroThat’s where the build gets clever. Grape skins and oats help lift the hop aroma while smoothing out the mouthfeel. Nerdy detail, very drinkable result.
MugiSo it has real hop character, but still works as an everyday pint. That’s a pretty great balance. Two Rabbits really is catching both rabbits.
Hop BroAnd it’s listed online in 360ml cans and 6-packs, which means you can sample it or commit properly. I’d absolutely chill this one first.
MugiThen it’s settled. I want to crack a SUPER SAUVIN tonight and start shouting guava! nectarine! between sips. Hop bro, let’s go!
Product Overview
TWO RABBITS BREWING COMPANY, based in Omihachiman, Shiga, has added a new beer to its single-hop XPA series, HOPZILLA. The latest release, HOPZILLA: SUPER SAUVIN, is offered as a 360 ml can and a six-pack through the brewery's online shop.

The brewery uses grape skins and oats in the recipe to help lift the aroma and create a smoother mouthfeel. With an ABV of 4.5%, the beer is built around a clean, crisp finish rather than heaviness.
