Hop BroMya Brewery is bringing out its trump card with a limited tap opening from 5:00 p.m. They're pouring "ruby 7 stout-2025 Vintage" at Kyoto Yuagari Craft Beer Festival 2026, and it's a pretty serious beer.
MugiWhoa, just from the name ruby 7 stout it already sounds strong! And since it feels like something you can only drink at the event, isn't that a little too special!
Hop BroThe style is Imperial Stout w/cassis. In other words, it's a rich imperial stout with a solid alcohol presence, layered with the sweet-tartness of cassis.
MugiAn imperial stout sounds like it has emperor vibes right in the name, but what actually makes it different? Is it heavy? Is it black?
Hop BroIn broad strokes, it's a rich black beer with high ABV. This one is 9.0% ABV, so it has real body and is the kind you sip slowly.
Mugi9.0% is pretty high! But if cassis is in it, it might be easier to drink, like heavy but bright.
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: it's a blend of 10 malts. By layering malts, they create different tiers of body, roastiness, and other flavors.
MugiTen kinds!? That's basically the beer world's layered outfit game. There's too much information in one glass!
Hop BroAnd because this is a one-year-aged version, the rough edges have been smoothed out and it's become even mellower. That's irresistible for anyone who loves aged beer.
MugiAging making it mellower is really nice... The fact that it balances depth and brightness makes me want to drink it just imagining it.
Hop BroThe venue is Fushimi Chikara no Yu Futsal Court, and the event runs on May 2 and 3. Admission is free with a food-and-drink ticket system, so it's fun to zero in on what you want after checking the tap list.
MugiThen I have no choice but to go the moment it says don't miss the tap list! I want to get my stomach and my mood ready for the 5:00 p.m. tapping!
