Hop BroThere’s a Sapporo beer story worth talking about. Kaede IPA Vol. 5 is being introduced by Beer Cellar Sapporo Main Store.
MugiWait, volume 5 already!? An annual release means this has been a recurring fan favorite, huh?
Hop BroExactly. This time it was designed by Yohei Kawamura of Hobo Brewing and brewed at Streetlight Brewing as a 3.5% low-alcohol IPA.
MugiAn IPA at 3.5%!? A low-alcohol IPA sounds like the hops might just wander off.
Hop BroThat’s the clever part. It’s built with high sessionability while still keeping real hop presence and satisfying body.
MugiHold on, high sessionability means what exactly? It sounds like a beer that schedules meetings!
Hop BroHa, it just means easy to keep drinking without getting worn out. The idea is a beer you can enjoy without abandoning your chores or errands.
MugiOh wow, and it’s themed around parent-child love too? A giftable pint is honestly kind of sweet.
Hop BroThe label sounds great too. It was illustrated by Mugi Maeda, with a kingfisher and char lively surrounding Kaede-chan.
MugiThat is a lot of good information at once! If I’m at Beer Cellar Sapporo Main Store in Minami 1-jo Nishi 12-chome, I’m ordering that first.
Hop BroBeing able to chase story-driven guest beers at a city pub like that is the best. This 3.5% Kaede IPA sounds perfect for tonight.
MugiThat settles it, because I want to drink it now! Light but still properly IPA is just unfairly appealing.
