BEER BULK J taps 10ants Brewing's new Okey-Dokey on July 19
BEER BULK J in Tama, Tokyo will pour 10ants Brewing's new guest beer, Okey-Dokey, from 12:00 to 24:00 on July 19. The beer was reportedly well received at its first event unveiling and is drawing attention as a fruit-forward IPA.
Hop BroI wanted to talk about Okey-Dokey tapping day today. At BEER BULK J in Ichinomiya, Tama, Tokyo, 10ants Brewing is pouring this new guest beer from 12:00 to 24:00 on July 19.
MugiWhat! A full 12-hour window to catch it? That is exactly the kind of schedule that makes me argue with myself about day drinking versus night drinking!
Hop BroAnd this Okey-Dokey was apparently the most popular pour when it debuted at an event. People liked it so much that some even came back for another round.
MugiWhoa, repeat drinker energy is serious business. The name sounds breezy, but what kind of beer are we actually talking about?
Hop BroIt is a Fruited IPA, with 6.5% ABV and 40 IBU. The design pushes fruit-like aroma up front while still keeping the hop character clear and drinkable.
MugiWait, what is 40 IBU supposed to mean? The way you said it made beer sound like it just got graded on an exam!
Hop BroIBU is basically a bitterness guide. Around 40 means it is not painfully bitter. You get the aroma first, then a clean little reminder that, yes, this is still an IPA.
MugiOkay, got it! So it is a fragrance-first kind of beer, and then the bitterness walks in afterward. Like fruit waves hello first, and hops hand over a business card at the end!
Hop BroThat metaphor is honestly pretty solid. Since BEER BULK J is 10ants’ own beer pub, it is exactly the right kind of place for trying a fresh new release in the Seiseki-Sakuragaoka area.
MugiThen I am in. Today sounds like the perfect new-beer day, and now I really want to taste Okey-Dokey from that first burst of aroma all the way to the finish.
