Moyamoya Base swaps one keg on April 10, replacing REVO BREWING’s "ONE" with DD4D IPA
The beer pub "Moyamoya Base" in Minami 2-jo Higashi 1-chome, Sapporo, announced a one-keg changeover on April 10. REVO BREWING’s "ONE" was taken off tap, and DD4D BREWING’s "DD4D IPA" was newly added, completing the day’s lineup with notable beers from Hokkaido and beyond.
Hop BroSo Moyamoya Base in Sapporo changed out one keg. On April 10, REVO BREWING’s "ONE" came off, and DD4D BREWING’s "DD4D IPA" got tapped in new.
MugiWait, ONE got replaced by DD4D IPA!? Can the whole vibe really change that much just from swapping one keg?
Hop BroIt really can. DD4D is a brewery from Ehime, and since hop-forward IPA is their core, it gives the beer a more aroma-driven pull.
MugiWhat is that! Beer from Ehime in Sapporo? This is turning into a geography quiz!
Hop BroAnd the lineup that day is interesting too. It’s all gathered in one place from Hokkaido all the way to Osaka, with Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni-Densetsu’s "YUYA BOYS IPL," Bifuka Shirakaba Brewery’s "Hanamuke," Shiga Kogen’s "SNOW MONKEY IPA," and Minoh’s "Session Black IPA."
MugiWhoa! But what’s an IPL? It looks like IPA’s relative, but the name is already hard enough!
Hop BroGood question. IPL is lager-based, a style that layers hop aroma onto a crisp, clean drinking profile. So it feels lighter than an IPA and goes down easier.
MugiI see, so Session Black IPA means it’s black but still easy to drink? It looks heavy at a glance, but the name is way too confusing!
Hop BroExactly. It’s aiming for a balance of light, crisp drinkability and roasted character. It’s not too heavy, but it still has that toasted quality, so it hits both IPA fans and black beer fans.
MugiAnd it’s open from 14:00 to 23:00, right? Being able to drink from the afternoon is pretty dangerous, isn’t it? I’m already getting thirsty before I even go!
Hop BroRight, that’s the fun part about Sapporo daytime drinking and being able to follow the tap lineup while you drink. Today I’d want to start with DD4D IPA and finish with YUYA BOYS IPL.
MugiWow, you’re totally in tasting-comparison mode now. I’m starting to want to follow along too, from an aromatic IPA to a crisp IPL in order!
