Teenage Brewing Releases First siraph Collaboration Beer, Siraph // Shirafu
Teenage Brewing, based in Tokigawa, Saitama, has announced Siraph // Shirafu, the first beer in a special collaboration with the band siraph. It is a DDH IPA with kuromoji at 7.0% ABV, with shipping set to start on August 27.
Hop BroSomething interesting just landed from Tokigawa, Saitama: Teenage Brewing teamed up with siraph for Siraph // Shirafu, and this one is impossible not to talk about.
MugiWait, a band and a beer together? Hearing first collab release already makes me feel like I'm lining up for a show!
Hop BroThe style is DDH IPA with Kuromoji, clocking in at 7.0% ABV. It's a hop-loaded IPA layered with the fresh aroma of kuromoji.
MugiWhat is that! The moment you said DDH IPA, I felt like I got shoved into a science lab!
Hop BroDDH means piling on extra dry hops to boost aroma. So basically it's a maximum aroma build.
MugiOooh! And kuromoji? So I should picture a Japanese herbal note or something? That suddenly sounds classy.
Hop BroExactly. With Nelson Sauvin, Rakau, and Strata, they're building tropical hop aromatics and then layering that cool kuromoji lift on top.
MugiSo it's like tropical fruit, then a breeze through the woods? Fruit and Japanese herbs together sounds busy, but in a good way!
Hop BroThat's very Teenage Brewing. They even suggest siraph's damp damp as the pairing music, and the ideal scene is a hot, humid day.
MugiThey specified the weather too!? A hot, humid day is such a dramatic pairing note. That's basically film-director energy.
MugiAnd shipping starts August 27, right? I kind of want to queue up siraph and be ready the second it lands.
Hop BroThat's the move. I want a pint with music too, and something tells me this Shirafu won't leave anyone feeling very shirafu for long.
