Hop BroToday’s a 30th anniversary update! Hideji Beer Mukabaki Brewery in Miyazaki has announced the second collaboration brew with Mojiko Retro Beer.
MugiWow, that’s great! And the partner is Mojiko Retro Beer from Kitakyushu too, so this cross-region team-up is exciting!
Hop BroThe style is Hefeweizen, and the design combines Mojiko’s Weizen technique with the hops used in Hideji’s Taiyo no Lager.
MugiWhat? Weizen with lager hops? Won’t that clash? It sounds like the flavor could get lost!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. The aim is to layer fresh hop character on top of the ester aroma from the Weizen yeast. Think of it like a banana-like aroma with a breeze of citrus.
MugiI see! So after the “soft, sweet aroma” comes a crisp, refreshing hop note. Just imagining it tastes good!
Hop BroRelease is planned for late April, but the date hasn’t been announced yet. And since it’s expected to be limited, it’s definitely one to check as soon as details drop.
MugiWhoa, limited is brutal! The moment I find it, I’m going straight into grab-it-in-seconds mode!
Hop BroAnd there’s more: the 30th anniversary collaboration has a third company coming soon too. It really embodies Think Global, Brew Local., and it’s fun to follow the series!
MugiIn that case it’s decided. Tonight I’m doing some practice with a Weizen-style beer and waiting in toast-ready mode for release day!
Miyazaki’s Hideji Beer Mukabaki Brewery has released new information about its 30th anniversary project. What has now been revealed is a collaboration brew with Mojiko Retro Beer (@mojikoretrobeer) in Kitakyushu.
According to the post, this marks the realization of the breweries’ first-ever brewer collaboration. The beer style is Hefeweizen, and the recipe is a special one that combines Mojiko Retro Beer’s Weizen brewing techniques with the hops used in Hideji Beer’s flagship beer, "Taiyo no Lager." The goal is to layer the yeast-derived aroma of a Weizen with a bright hop character.
The release is scheduled for late April. However, no specific date has been announced yet, and the beer is expected to be offered in limited quantities. In addition, the “third company” in the 30th anniversary collaboration series is also set to be announced soon. There is now even more to look forward to as the series unfolds.
Hideji Beer brews at the foot of Mt. Mukabaki in northern Miyazaki Prefecture, and its official website also emphasizes brewing centered on natural water and a house-cultured yeast. This project, which intersects external brewery techniques while remaining grounded in regional character, appears to be a renewed expression of the company’s "Think Global, Brew Local." philosophy at the milestone of its 30th anniversary.
