Hop BroAt Tokyo Aleworks in Itabashi, Tokyo, the collaboration IPA "Tokyo Dreams" with Vallejo Brewing has been tapped.
MugiWow, even the name Tokyo Dreams sounds stylish! What kind of flavor does a collaboration IPA have?
Hop BroThis time it's a tropical IPA, using Cryo Mosaic along with Abstrax Nelson oils. The aroma is really contemporary.
MugiCryo? Oils? What is that? It suddenly sounds like a science experiment! Do hops really make that much difference?
Hop BroCryo is like concentrating the hop aroma compounds, and Abstrax Nelson oils make it easier to add white-grape-like and tropical notes from New Zealand varieties. That's why the juicy aroma stands out.
MugiSo it gets me excited with fruitiness even before I drink it! I'm also curious about that clean hop character!
Hop BroThat's the nice part: it's not just sweet, it has a clear outline. Tokyo Dreams has a clean finish, so it should appeal to IPA fans too.
MugiAnd the fact that it's not only on draft but also available in cans to take home is amazing!
Hop BroOn top of that, Tokyo Aleworks' Itabashi flagship is great because you can enjoy it like a cafe during the day and like a beer pub at night. Pair it with the Buffalo chicken wings, and you probably won't stop.
MugiWith 12 taps, choosing one sounds fun too! But today I want to start with a glass of Tokyo Dreams!
A Collaboration Beer Born in Tokyo
Vallejo Brewing Company's post introduced "Tokyo Dreams," created through a collaboration with Tokyo Aleworks. The post explains that Vallejo Brewing's Andrew Conlon met Randy, the head brewer at Tokyo Ale Works, in Tokyo, and that connection led to this release.
Features of the Beer
"Tokyo Dreams" is described as a tropical IPA, using Cryo Mosaic hops and Abstrax Nelson oils. Designed to foreground bright tropical-fruit aromas, juicy notes, and a clean, modern hop character, it looks like a beer with a clearly defined finish. It is currently being served on tap and available in cans to take away.
What It Means to Drink It at Tokyo Aleworks
Tokyo Aleworks' Itabashi flagship is a brewpub on the first floor of Itabashi Cask Village. During the day it can be used as a cafe, and at lunch it serves tacos, while in the evening American food including its signature Buffalo chicken wings is on the menu. It also has 12 house-brewed beer taps, making it appealing for leisurely drinking alongside a meal. This collaboration linking Tokyo and Vallejo is the kind of beer best enjoyed in the atmosphere of that kind of venue.
