Hop BroToday’s topic is Setouchi Breegin' on tap at Awa Store in Hiroshima. It’s a summer-ready collab from gogoshima beer farm and rub works.
MugiWait, gogoshima x rub works already sounds powerful! And you can drink it there or buy it too? That’s dangerous for my wallet.
Hop BroAnd the spec is a 5% Cold IPA. It gives off white peach and apricot vibes, but the sip stays really clean and easy.
MugiHold on, what is Cold IPA? If it just means IPA served cold, then my fridge has been a brewer this whole time.
Hop BroFair question. Think of it as lager-like crispness meeting IPA aromatics. You get bright hop character, then a dry, clear finish instead of heaviness.
MugiOh wow, peach and pine aromas together? My nose would be doing cartwheels. That sounds fruity and refreshing at the same time.
Hop BroExactly, and the green layered aroma gives it depth. Stone-fruit softness comes first, then that piney freshness snaps everything into focus.
MugiWhat even is a phantom brewery? Do invisible brewers haunt the tanks at midnight and whisper hop schedules?
Hop BroNot quite. It means a brewery without its own facility. rub works builds new drinking experiences through collaboration, which fits gogoshima beer farm’s food-friendly approach really well.
MugiThat settles it, this is made for hot days. But if it can sell out, I need to move before my thirst files a complaint.
Hop BroThen let’s not waste time. If people call it a summer staple beer, we should verify that claim properly at Awa Store, pint in hand.
