Nomimonoya adds TWO RABBITS’ Nue and Hop Zombie
Nomimonoya, a beer pub in Fushogama-cho, Takamatsu, has added two guest beers from TWO RABBITS BREWING COMPANY. The lineup pairs a tropical, citrus-forward IPA with a softer, easy-drinking Hazy Pale Ale.
Hop BroToday's topic is Nomimono-ya's new guest beers. In Busshozan, Takamatsu, they've just brought in TWO RABBITS BREWING COMPANY's "Nue" and "Hop Zombie."
MugiWait, both names go hard! "Nue" sounds like a yokai, and "Hop Zombie" sounds like it raids the fridge at midnight!
Hop BroAnd the beer lives up to it. "Nue Hop Juice IPA" is a Hop Juice IPA, 7.0% ABV and 45 IBU, with ripe tropical fruit and citrus coming through strong.
MugiHold on, is IBU a test score? My tongue definitely did not study for this exam!
Hop BroIBU is a bitterness scale. At 45, it has a real bite, but the NZ cold-pressed hop juice brings so much fruity aroma that it still feels balanced.
MugiWhat even is cold-pressed hop juice? A hop smoothie? One sip and I turn into a brewer?
Hop BroWay more exciting than a smoothie. Think of it as aroma packed in tight, so those citrusy and tropical hop notes come through loud and clean.
MugiOoh, okay! So is "Hop Zombie Tropical Fusion" the gentler chaos of the two?
Hop BroExactly. It's a Hazy Pale Ale, 5.0% ABV and 24 IBU, built around Tropical Fusion with Citra and Columbus, giving layers of mango, passion fruit, and citrus with a light body and silky mouthfeel.
MugiWow, a side-by-side tasting is clearly the move! Do I start with the fruit bomb "Nue," or the smoother "Hop Zombie"?
Hop BroThat's the beauty of it. At Nomimono-ya you can pick your pour by mood. Go bold with Nue first, then let Hop Zombie ease you into the next glass. I'm thirsty already.
MugiSold. I want to toast right now, and you are absolutely taking one sip before the lecture starts!
Nomimonoya, a beer pub in Fushogama-cho, Takamatsu, is currently featuring two guest beers from TWO RABBITS BREWING COMPANY. The bar’s relaxed setting makes it a good place to compare beers with very different hop expressions.
- Nue Hop Juice IPA
Listed as Hop Juice IPA, this beer comes in at 7.0% ABV and 45 IBU. It uses NZ cold-pressed hop juice alongside US hops, bringing a vivid mix of ripe tropical fruit and citrus. It is the more intense and full-flavored of the two, with a bold aroma and a clear hop presence.
- Hop Zombie Tropical Fusion
This one is a Hazy Pale Ale at 5.0% ABV and 24 IBU. Tropical Fusion hops take the lead, with Citra and Columbus adding definition. The result is a softer, more approachable beer with notes of mango, passion fruit, and citrus, plus a silky mouthfeel.
Together, the two beers offer a neat contrast: one is a punchier IPA built for vivid aroma, while the other is a lighter, smoother pale ale with a tropical profile. For hop fans visiting Nomimonoya, it is an easy lineup to explore one glass at a time.
