TOTOPIA’s new Hazy pair and a VERTERE collaboration arrive at drifter’s stand in Togoshi Ginza
Two new Hazy beers from TOTOPIA have arrived at the beer pub drifter’s stand in Togoshi Ginza. You can take your time comparing the collaboration with VERTERE, `Diffusiophilia`, and `Clawphobia`, finished with a 2x Mash, inside the small taproom.
Hop BroTwo new Hazy beers from TOTOPIA have just arrived at drifter’s stand in Togoshi Ginza. What’s exciting is that you can line up `Diffusiophilia`, the VERTERE collaboration, and `Clawphobia`, the rich, heavy-hitting one, and drink them side by side.
MugiWhoa! You can do a Hazy two-beer comparison!? And just from the names alone they sound intense, but are both of them that cloudy, hazy style?
Hop BroExactly, both are Hazy styles, but they’re pretty different inside. `Diffusiophilia` is a DDH Hazy Double IPA, which means it’s the kind of beer where extra hops are added to boost the aroma.
MugiDDH, what even is that! Is adding more hops like some magic where the more you add, the tastier it gets?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it’s a method where hops are added even after fermentation to bring out more aroma. `Diffusiophilia` uses Vera, Citra, and Citra Cryo, so fully ripe orange and strawberry notes spread gently across the palate.
MugiOhh! So there’s soft, sweet aromatics plus dankness and bitterness too? That’s like a stylish person suddenly being joined by a super serious senior!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting: it doesn’t stop at sweetness, it has real definition. And since the collaboration partner is VERTERE, it has this dimensional feel inside all that juiciness.
MugiThen what about the other one, `Clawphobia`? 2x Mash Imperial sounds like a strength-training routine from the beer world!
Hop BroNice one. `2x Mash` is a brewing method that pulls a denser wort, and `Clawphobia` is known for its silky full body. It has nectar-like richness, with peachy freshness and dankness surging in.
MugiWow, that sounds super satisfying to drink! And with the place being a 12-person space, isn’t it actually perfect for slowly chasing the aroma?
Hop BroExactly. Drinking in a small shop while watching the temperature change makes the changes in aroma really easy to notice, and that makes comparing the two beers even more fun.
MugiNow I definitely want to go! While doing a rich Hazy tasting comparison, I want to decide whether I’m on Team Orange or Team Peach, and I bet Hop Bro is just nodding seriously the whole time!
Hop BroI probably would be nodding and saying I’ll have another one. `Diffusiophilia` and `Clawphobia` are two beers I want to drink while I can.
At drifter’s stand in Togoshi Ginza, Shinagawa City, Tokyo, you can enjoy two new beers from TOTOPIA. This lineup includes `Diffusiophilia`, a collaboration with VERTERE, and `Clawphobia`, crafted with a characteristically rich Totopia-style design. Both are Hazy beers, but the way their aromas come through and the shape of their sweetness differ slightly.
`Diffusiophilia` is a DDH Hazy Double IPA. It uses Vera, Citra, and Citra Cryo hops, and its soft mouthfeel and gentle sweetness are layered with impressions of fully ripe orange and strawberry. A light dankness and bitterness tighten the whole beer, giving this juicy beer a sense of dimension. The collaboration partner is VERTERE.
`Clawphobia` is a 2x Mash DDH Imperial Hazy IPA. This one uses Citra, Rakau, Strata, and Strata CGX, and is characterized by a silky, full-bodied drinkability. It has nectar-like richness, along with a wave of dankness and peach-like freshness, and leaves a refreshing finish.
drifter’s stand is a compact beer pub true to Togoshi Ginza, operating with a maximum of 12 guests inside and up to two people per group. Because seating is limited, it is the kind of place that suits drinking slowly while following how the aroma and temperature change in the glass. For beer lovers who want to line up two rich Hazy beers and compare them side by side, this is a highly appealing new arrival.
