Hop BroToday’s topic is that HOP MAN in Chigasaki just tapped Honkaku IPA from Isekadoya Beer.
MugiWhat! A fresh tap at HOP MAN is already exciting, and that beer name sounds intense too!
Hop BroHOP MAN is a beer pub on the second floor in Jukkensaka, and this guest beer is Honkaku IPA from Isekadoya.
MugiOooh! And it says classic American IPA... is that really different from the IPAs people drink now?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Instead of the pale, razor-sharp West Coast style, this leans into old-school IPA character with real bitterness and malt presence.
MugiHold on, what does malt backbone even mean? Is this beer secretly doing weight training?
Hop BroNo dumbbells in the tank. Malt backbone just means the flavor foundation that gives the beer body and supports everything else.
MugiGot it! Then citrus, tropical fruit, and berry on top of that is basically an aroma overload in the best way possible!
Hop BroAnd it’s a revival of a 25th anniversary beer, with an amber color, solid hop expression, and a crisp finish, so it’s really a revived classic.
MugiWow, casually finding that in Chigasaki sounds perfect... now I really want to test that bitterness-aroma balance for myself!
Hop BroThen that settles it. This is exactly the kind of beer that makes you want to order a glass at HOP MAN and taste the brewing philosophy too.
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Chigasaki, posted a fresh tap announcement on Instagram. The featured guest beer is ISEKADO's Honkado IPA, a revived version of the brewery's 25th-anniversary beer and a beer built around a classic American IPA profile.
The caption describes an amber-colored IPA with layered citrus, tropical fruit, and berry notes. The beer is designed to keep a solid malt backbone while pushing hop character to the front, aiming for both presence and a clean finish. Compared with the lighter, sharper West Coast IPA trend, this one leans a little more nostalgic and classic in its IPA expression.
For a neighborhood beer pub like HOP MAN, which serves rotating draft beers in Chigasaki, this kind of guest tap fits well. It gives regulars and visitors a chance to explore a beer with a clear point of view, not just a familiar style label. If you want bitterness, aroma, and malt depth in one pint, this is the sort of beer worth noting.
