Kaneku Brewing in Hachinohe, Aomori, launches three limited beers and core beers online
Kaneku Brewing (Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture) is featuring the three limited releases 'Midnight Protocol,' 'Neon Paws,' and 'south bound' in the new arrivals section of its online store. Core beers and an original glass are also on display, broadening the lineup.
Hop BroToday's new arrivals from Kaneku Brewing in Hachinohe, Aomori, are interesting. Online, 'Midnight Protocol,' 'Neon Paws,' and 'south bound' are all listed, and the core lineup has expanded too.
MugiWhoa! The names are already cool! Just seeing that three limited releases are here makes me want to drink them.
Hop BroAnd the lineup is solid too. With Weizen and Hazy IPA, plus Golden Lite Ale and even a three-bottle set, it's set up so you can enjoy it either one bottle at a time or as a tasting comparison.
MugiHey, what's Weizen? I also see it written as ヴァイツェン sometimes, but is that a spell or something?
Hop BroIt's a German-style beer made with wheat, and its defining trait is a soft mouthfeel. Kaneku Brewing's own origin story also began with encountering authentic Weizen in Germany in 2011.
MugiOhhh! Then what is 'Midnight Protocol' about? A Hong Kong midnight motif already sounds like a movie!
Hop BroIt's a collaboration with Hong Kong's DEADMAN BREWERY, and it's a dry-hopped lager made with jasmine tea leaves and lemon peel. The design evokes Hong Kong nights washed in neon, and it's also a beer commemorating the opening of the taproom.
MugiDry-hopped lager again? That's another tricky one! Does that mean the hops are added later?
Hop BroExactly. It's a method that lets the hop aroma stand out cleanly rather than relying on heat-based aromatics. With jasmine and lemon layered on top, it ends up cool yet bright and floral.
Mugi'Neon Paws' catches my eye too! A bar in a cat world is almost unfairly cute!
Hop BroIt's an American wheat ale, and the Centennial and Cascade pairing really works. The grapefruit aroma comes through softly, and it still keeps a good drinkability balance, so it goes down easily as a first beer.
Mugi'south bound' already sounds like it's on a trip! A Be Easy Brewing collaboration seems like a great match.
Hop BroCentered on New Zealand Peacharine, it has a tropical finish built with Southern Hemisphere malts and hops, and the 4.5% alcohol keeps it light. At this point, the only thing to do is order both the core beers and the limited releases and have a tasting night.
Kaneku Brewing's online store has added three new items: 'Midnight Protocol,' 'Neon Paws,' and 'south bound'. In addition, the regular Weizen, Hazy IPA, Golden Lite Ale, a three-bottle set, and a 14 oz original glass are listed as well, creating a lineup that ranges from single bottles to tasting sets.
Each product has a clear identity.
- Midnight Protocol is a collaboration with Hong Kong's DEADMAN BREWERY. This dry-hopped lager uses jasmine tea leaves and lemon peel, and is designed to evoke Hong Kong's neon-washed late nights. It is introduced as a commemorative release for the opening of the taproom 'Cyber Beer Neko Neko.'
- Neon Paws is an American wheat ale set in a cat-world bar called 'Paws.' The Centennial and Cascade combination aims for a grapefruit-like aroma and a balance of drinkability.
- south bound is a collaboration with Be Easy Brewing. Centered on New Zealand-grown Peacharine, it blends Southern Hemisphere malts and hops for a tropical finish, and its alcohol content is 4.5%.
