B.M.B Brewery Releases HDHC IPA Lupulin Echo, Co-Brewed with NOVORU
Miyazaki's B.M.B BREWERY is now selling Lupulin Echo, a beer designed in the context of a collaboration with NOVORU BREWING. It is an HDHC IPA with 8.0% ABV, built around Citra and Mosaic plus multiple other hops to create a beer with layered aroma and bitterness.
Hop BroMiyazaki's B.M.B BREWERY has put out a new HDHC IPA called Lupulin Echo, and it's set up in this sort of "competitive collaboration" style with NOVORU BREWING!
MugiWait, a competition means breweries battling it out with beer!? And HDHC IPA sounds intense just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. They made the condition the "amount of hops used," and each side created its own interpretation. Roughly speaking, HDHC IPA is a dense, hop-heavy style of IPA with a very thick hop presence.
MugiWhat does that even mean! "Layered thick" sounds like a fluffy hop blanket!
Hop BroThat's a great way to put it. The main hops are Citra and Mosaic, and they layer in Idaho 7, Sabro, El Dorado, plus Dinaboost (Mosaic) and Wet Hop (Mandarina Bavaria). It's a design built to create layers of aroma.
MugiWhoa, a whole all-star lineup of hops! So is the taste just a hard hit of bitterness?
Hop BroThat's the clever part. Once the dank character fades, the structure opens up into stone-fruit-like aroma and a lingering finish. It hits hard up front, then wins you over with aroma at the end.
MugiFront-loaded punch, then a dreamy finish! And it's 8.0% ABV, right? That's a reward IPA for sipping slowly!
Hop BroExactly. The price is 904 yen per bottle, tax included, and the official recommendation is to order in 6, 12, or 24 bottle units. B.M.B started brewing in Miyazaki in 2018 and expanded to Kiyotake in 2024, and they really excel at bold hop expression.
MugiI've decided! Tonight we're toasting with Lupulin Echo! You're in charge of the hop nerdery, and I'll handle the aroma commentary!
Basic Information on Lupulin Echo
B.M.B BREWERY's official store lists Lupulin Echo as an HDHC IPA / 8.0% Alc./Vol. with a high-alcohol profile. On the product page, the condition exchanged with NOVORU BREWING is described as the "amount of hops used," and the beer is presented as a kind of "co-creation" shaped through each brewery's own interpretation of what came after that.
The Recipe Focuses on "Layered Hops"
According to the description, the core is Citra & Mosaic. Added to that are Idaho 7, Sabro, El Dorado, Dinaboost (Mosaic), and Wet Hop (Mandarina Bavaria), creating a structure that lets stone-fruit-like aromas and a lingering finish unfold after the dank character fades. Rather than being simply bitter, the design appears intended to let you enjoy it in stages, from the first burst of aroma through the flavors that emerge later.
The Current Position of a Miyazaki Brewery
On its official ABOUT page, B.M.B BREWERY states that brewing began in Jingu, Miyazaki City in November 2018, and that a new expanded brewery in Kiyotake, Miyazaki City was completed in July 2024. Its concept is "from beer to culture." Lupulin Echo is another release true to the brewery's style, putting forward hop expression that does not fit neatly into a standard mold.
Sales Information
The price shown on the product page is 904 yen (tax included). It can be purchased from one bottle, and the official guidance recommends ordering in units of 6, 12, or 24 bottles. In the context of its collaboration category, it is a new release worth checking out for drinkers looking for an intense hop experience.
