B.M.B Brewery releases Mythic Drift, a botanical IPA for BeerTeria CNA's 5th anniversary
Miyazaki-based B.M.B Brewery has released Mythic Drift, a botanical IPA brewed to celebrate the 5th anniversary of BeerTeria CNA, a beer bar in Izumo, Shimane. The beer combines Hyuganatsu citrus, Izumo ginger, and fennel with a hop-driven balance.
Hop BroI want to talk about Mythic Drift today. It's a Botanical IPA from B.M.B Brewery in Miyazaki, brewed to celebrate BeerTeria CNA's fifth anniversary, and it feels properly special.
MugiWait, a fifth-anniversary IPA already sounds unfairly tempting! And BeerTeria CNA is in Izumo, right? How did a Miyazaki brewery end up connected to them?
Hop BroThat's the fun part: it's built to connect Miyazaki and Shimane. Hyuganatsu comes from Miyazaki, Izumo ginger from Shimane, and fennel ties it together into an anniversary story you can actually smell.
MugiWhat is a Botanical IPA anyway, some kind of beer garden in a glass? And fennel suddenly sounds like a wizard ingredient, so my brain is buffering.
Hop BroStay with me here, it's basically an IPA that adds aroma with botanicals. Fennel is an herb with a sweet, anise-like spice note, the kind of thing that works with sausage or fish too.
MugiOhhh, so anise-like spice means you get citrus first and then this weirdly cool herbal twist? That sounds like a movie with plot twists in every sip!
Hop BroExactly, and the key is the aroma-layer design. Hyuganatsu peel shows up first, then the fresh lift of ginger, then fennel brings hints of anise and even curry-like spice, while the hops hold the whole thing together underneath.
MugiOkay but when you say aroma layers, I start thinking mille-feuille and getting hungry. So the hops are like that quiet senior coworker doing all the hard work in the background?
Hop BroHonestly, that's pretty accurate. It has a real IPA backbone, so even with all those extra ingredients, it still drinks clean instead of turning into perfume. At 5.5%, it's bright and celebratory without getting heavy.
MugiThat rules! Hyuganatsu, ginger, and fennel sounds like a lot on paper, but if it's still easy to drink, that's exactly the kind of bottle I'd open on a random night.
Hop BroAnd because it's made for BeerTeria CNA's milestone, it really feels like a special celebratory beer. This is the kind of one you pour carefully, chase the aroma, and then immediately want another glass.
MugiYep, I'm sold. I want a pour now and I fully plan to check that citrus-ginger-fennel sequence sip by sip. Mythic Drift sounds dangerously easy to reach for.
Mythic Drift is a 5.5% botanical IPA made with Hyuganatsu citrus, Izumo ginger, and fennel. It was brewed to mark the 5th anniversary of BeerTeria CNA, a beer bar in Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture.
According to the product description, the beer opens with the aroma of Hyuganatsu peel, followed by the freshness of ginger, and then a subtle finish of fennel that brings an anise-like, lightly curry-spiced character. The brewery notes that although the specialty ingredients are prominent, the hops provide the backbone that keeps the beer in balance.
B.M.B Brewery is based in Miyazaki City and has built its identity around beers that highlight local ingredients and collaborations. In this release, the pairing of Hyuganatsu and Izumo ginger creates a direct connection between Miyazaki and Shimane, giving the beer a clear regional story as well as a botanical profile.
For drinkers who enjoy aromatic IPAs with layered citrus, spice, and herbal notes, Mythic Drift stands out as a commemorative beer with both character and structure. It is a release that feels tailored to the anniversary occasion without losing the framework of a well-constructed IPA.
