MugiWhoa! A beer from a Saitama brewery in Kumamoto? That feels like a beer on tour!
Hop BroAnd it was brewed to mark the 50th anniversary of the UK music label Rough Trade.
MugiNo way! A music label is sort of like a record company, right? How do beer and music connect?
Hop BroExactly. Rough Trade has released work by artists who shaped music history, so this beer lets you taste the culture behind it too.
MugiAmazing! It is not just a toast—there is a concert starting in my head! I might hold my glass like a microphone: imaginary concert begins!
Hop BroThat is fine, just do not spill it. It is an IPA, a style where aroma and bitterness from hops take center stage.
MugiIPA sounds like it wins a bitterness contest. But what does hop-derived bitterness actually mean?
Hop BroHops are plants that add aroma and bitterness to beer. They can suggest citrus or fresh greenery, giving IPA its bright hop aroma.
MugiThey are plants?! So hops handle more than bitterness. They are the all-purpose band member of beer!
Hop BroNobody Brewing also has a deep connection to music: Teenage’s Mori is active as an artist as well.
MugiSo British music culture meets Japanese craft brewing in one glass. If I spot it at WITCH CRAFT Market, I want to sip like listening to music.
Hop BroExactly. Check the latest availability and look for it at WITCH CRAFT Market in Ozu, Kumamoto.
MugiDone! I will make a playlist too—then we will be ready for a toast!
