Hop BroMain Mart Tokiwacho in Chigasaki has received "Cornucopia / Cornucopia," the fourth collaboration between Inkhorn Brewing and West Coast Brewing.
MugiWhoa! The fact that it's their fourth collaboration means they're basically best friends, right? And being able to follow the arrival updates on Instagram is seriously helpful!
Hop BroExactly. And this time they used six hop varieties that had only just been harvested, sent from Freestyle Hops in New Zealand via WCB.
MugiWait, six hop varieties? Isn't that a lot? And "freshly harvested" really makes that much of a difference?
Hop BroIt does. When the hops are fresh, the aroma tends to come through with sharper definition. Since this is a Hazy Double IPA, the cloudy appearance and juiciness are the stars.
MugiSo hazy means that kind of fluffy feel? Like a beer with a soft, fluffy texture!
Hop BroExactly. And at 355ml and 8.0%, it has plenty of heft, with hops like Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka, and Nectaron leading the aroma.
MugiWhat?! Even the names sound strong! But the article said peach and mango, so it sounds sweet and easy to drink, right?
Hop BroThat's right. The fruitiness of orange and guava is layered with a slightly green dank character, making it smooth while still clearly showing the freshness of the hops.
MugiWow, shopping for this at a store with around 500 kinds in stock sounds like a treasure hunt! Reading the shelf tags while choosing is exciting too.
Hop BroIf you're looking for a new beer in Chigasaki, this is definitely a strong candidate. Now I'm already wanting to go drink in those NZ hop aromas.
MugiYeah, same here! I can't stop wanting to open Cornucopia!
Arriving Beer
In Main Mart Chigasaki Tokiwacho's post, "Cornucopia / Cornucopia" is introduced. This is the fourth collaboration beer between Inkhorn Brewing and West Coast Brewing, and it is said to lavishly use six hop varieties that had only recently been harvested and arrived via WCB from Freestyle Hops in New Zealand.
Style and Features
The beer style is Hazy Double IPA. It comes in 355ml format with an 8.0% ABV. The hops used are Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka, Tropical Fusion, Peacharine, Nectaron, and Southern Cross, and the post describes fruit notes like ripe peach, mango, orange, and guava, along with a greenish dank nuance. It has a smooth mouthfeel and a fluffy hazy texture, while still letting you clearly feel the freshness of the hops.
What Makes the Shop Stand Out
Main Mart Chigasaki Tokiwacho is known as a shop with a strong craft beer presence in the Chigasaki and Tsujido area. It is said to carry around 500 kinds of beer, and its new arrivals are easy to follow on Instagram. In-store, the appeal is that you can choose from both staples and harder-to-find labels while reading the shelf tags, making it fun for beer fans to check what has come in.
