Hop BroMAHOWBREW in Naha, Okinawa put out a new beer called "Depths of Muspelheim #2," right!
MugiWhoa! That name sounds like it belongs to the final boss! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt was released on February 25, 2026, and it’s Batch No. 0064. The style is Peated Wee Heavy, based on a hefty Scottish-style ale.
MugiWhat is that supposed to mean? Is "Peated Wee Heavy" some kind of spell?
Hop BroSimply put, it’s a beer with a strong sweet, malty character plus a gentle smoky aroma. The peat is like a spice that gives it a campfire-like scent.
MugiOhhh! Sweet and smoky at the same time sounds like an adult dessert!
Hop BroThe numbers are solid too. With 7.0% ABV, it has some real heft, and at 21 IBU the bitterness stays restrained. Since the FG is 1.028, the finish should stay nicely sweet, and the SRM of 19 gives it a deep amber to dark hue.
MugiFG and SRM out of nowhere, like science class! But basically it means "rich, smooth sweetness, and a dark look too," right?
Hop BroExactly! The malts include Maris Otter, Crystal 150, and Peated Smoked. East Kent Golding is the hop, and WLP028 is the yeast, bringing together rich caramel character and a gentle smoky note.
MugiThat recipe is seriously dialed in... And Tsuboya is the district known for yachimun pottery, right? I love the whole world they’re building!
Hop BroYeah. They make everything from Mexican lager and gose to IPA, and with this Peated Wee Heavy they’re showing off the breadth of their range again.
MugiI can’t take it anymore, I want one now! Hop bro, let’s go find something malty and smoky like this tonight!
