OGA BREWING COMPANY releases Green Road IPA inspired by Kodaira's greenway
OGA BREWING COMPANY has launched Green Road IPA, a new session IPA inspired by Kodaira, a city known for its active urban agriculture. The 350ml beer is priced at 770 yen and comes in at 4.0% ABV with 30 IBU.
Hop BroToday's topic is the new Green Road IPA. OGA BREWING COMPANY in Mitaka made a beer that feels like Kodaira's leafy walking path in a can.
MugiWait, a walking path in beer? That's not just a drink, that's a scenic route with bubbles!
Hop BroIt's built as a session IPA. At 4.0% ABV and 30 IBU, it keeps the IPA aroma but stays light and easy to drink.
MugiHold on, what is IBU 30? You said that way too casually for something that sounds like a robot password.
Hop BroIBU is a bitterness scale. Around 30 means it should have noticeable hop character without smashing you with bitterness.
MugiOhh, so it's friendly IPA bitterness? Nice, I don't get launched off the craft beer ride on the first sip.
Hop BroAnd the recipe uses Heidelberg malt, plus Centennial, Simcoe, and Citra hops. That combo aims for a breezy, fresh aroma.
MugiWhat is that, a hop supergroup? Those names sound like they should be headlining a festival.
Hop BroBasically it's citrus and green freshness. Citra brings bright fruit, Simcoe adds a little pine, and Centennial ties it all together.
MugiSo you can drink a slice of Kodaira. At 350ml for 770 yen, that sounds perfect for a little outdoor reset.
Hop BroAnd the product page even includes a Red Post IPA short story. That extra story-like aftertaste feels very OGA.
MugiThat's unfair, I want one too. Now I'm torn between taking it on a walk or staring at the aroma dramatically first.
