New tap


HOP MAN announced a new tap on Instagram: BRISA ASCENSION from Uchu Brewing. It is a collaboration beer with Brasserie du Bas-Canada from Canada. The beer is batch No. 1333, brewed in the TDH Double IPA style, and clocks in at 8.5% ABV.

The grist includes malt, sugar, oats, and hops. The hop lineup features Motueka, Nelson Sauvin, and Rakau, and the brewer's note describes it as a triple dry-hopped Double IPA made with New Zealand hops pushed to the limit. The beer points toward tropical, citrus, and mango-like hop expression.

Why it fits HOP MAN


HOP MAN is a beer pub in Jokenzaka, Chigasaki, in Kanagawa Prefecture. A venue like this is a natural fit for a beer with a strong hop profile and a fuller body. BRISA ASCENSION is the kind of pint that rewards slow drinking, especially if you like tracking aroma, bitterness, and how the hop character unfolds over time.

For beer fans in Chigasaki, HOP MAN's tap list is worth keeping an eye on. This release combines a collaborative brewing story with a clear, hop-forward identity, making it a notable addition to the lineup.
