Brasserie SOMA Adds Kokura Brewing’s Tanga IPA Mark 2
Brasserie SOMA, a brewpub in Uomachi, Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu, is pouring Kokura Brewing’s guest beer, “Tanga IPA Ro.” The beer is presented as the second installment in the Tanga IPA series, using hops whose initials spell out TANGA, with a profile described as aromatic and firmly bitter.
Hop BroLet’s start with a beer worth talking about: at Brasserie SOMA in Uomachi, they’re pouring a guest brew from Kokura Brewing.
MugiWhat, really? Guest beer already sounds fancy, and TANGA IPA Ryo sounds like it walks in wearing sunglasses!
Hop BroThe name has a point to it too. It’s the second TANGA IPA, built around hop names whose initials spell out TANGA.
MugiWait, what? Hop composition sounds like homework. We’re still talking about beer, right?!
Hop BroVery much beer. Think of it like a flavor blueprint for aroma and bitterness, and this version swaps out two hop varieties from the last recipe.
MugiOooh, so does that make it totally different, or is it more like a soft aroma up front and then a sneaky kick later?
Hop BroThat’s pretty much it. The aroma opens gently, but the finish lands with firm bitterness, so it still keeps that proper IPA shape.
MugiI love that! A beer that smiles first and punches second is basically a tsundere IPA!
Hop BroAnd SOMA has its own brewing setup, so it’s a real brewpub. It works well with food, they welcome daytime drinking, and it’s smart to check the early-August and Obon schedule first.
MugiNow I’m hungry and thirsty at the same time. Pairing that with lunch in the market area sounds like one pint now territory!
Hop BroA local-name series like this is more fun when you follow it glass by glass, and beers like this deserve to be had on site. Meet in Uomachi sounds like the correct answer.
MugiAgreed! I want to sniff the hops, brace for the bitterness, and end the whole trip with a proper cheers!
Brasserie SOMA is pouring Kokura Brewing’s “Tanga IPA Ro”
At Brasserie SOMA, a brewpub in the Tanga Market area of Uomachi, Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu, Kokura Brewing’s guest beer “Tanga IPA Ro” is now available. In the post, it is described as the second release in the Tanga IPA series, brewed with hops whose initials correspond to the letters that make up TANGA.
This version is notable because two hop varieties were changed from the previous release. According to the caption, the beer brings a gentle, spreading hop aroma along with a solid bitterness. That suggests a beer that keeps the clear IPA structure while dialing the hop character toward a softer aromatic impression.
Brasserie SOMA itself is a brewpub with brewing equipment on site, so it is a place where fresh beer and food can be enjoyed together. The post also says daytime drinking is welcome, making it an easy stop for a lunch-time pint as well. Located in the fish market district of Uomachi, it is a practical place to follow rotating guest beers while pairing them with food in a relaxed setting.
The post also includes holiday-season schedule notes for early August. Anyone planning a visit should check the business days before heading over.
