Hideji Beer Mukabaki Brewery Launches Kumamoto Recovery Beer HOPe Step Jump
Hideji Beer Mukabaki Brewery in Nobeoka, Miyazaki, has released the Kumamoto recovery beer "HOPe Step Jump for Kumamoto from Miyazaki." The project was launched to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the Kumamoto earthquake, and part of the sales will be donated to support local recovery efforts in Kumamoto.
Hop BroMiyazaki's Hideji Beer Mukabaki Brewery has released a recovery beer for Kumamoto. It's on sale starting today, and the timing really hits home.
MugiWhoa, HOPe Step Jump is such a high-energy name! But with a recovery-support beer, does drinking it really help support the cause?
Hop BroIt does. With the cooperation of the Kumamoto Nichinichi Shimbun, this project was launched by four companies, including Minamiaso Beer and Mojiko Retro Beer, and part of the sales will be donated to regional recovery in Kumamoto.
MugiOhhh! They even seem serious about the water and ingredients. Spring water from the Shiio Spring sounds so good it almost overpowers everything else!
Hop BroOn top of that, it uses Cascade hops and rice from Minamiaso, plus Luminosa and Superdelic. When you use multiple hops, you get more layers of aroma, and it creates that feeling of leaping toward the future.
MugiWait a second, Luminosa and Superdelic sound way too strong! What are they, final bosses?
Hop BroSimply put, both are hops that brighten the aroma, and they help create a fruity drinking profile. That's why it's designed to be easy to pick up even for craft beer beginners.
MugiI see, so it's easy for beginners to enjoy too, which is reassuring! But "HOPe," "STEP," and "JUMP" all have meanings, right?
Hop BroExactly. HOPe means hope, STEP is the path taken so far, and JUMP is the wish for the people who supported recovery and for the next leap forward. It's not just a new product; it's a beer that connects the memory of the land.
MugiWow, hearing that makes me want to drink it even more! If it also goes well with meals, then tonight I want to prepare some snacks properly and toast with it!
Hop BroThat's the spirit. It feels like a beer to savor recovery, and it's the kind of drink you'd want to chill well and enjoy slowly.
MugiThen I want to have a sip too... or rather, I want to say that! Let's raise a toast tonight and send some support to both Kumamoto and Miyazaki!
Miyazaki-based Hideji Beer Mukabaki Brewery in Nobeoka City has released the Kumamoto recovery beer HOPe Step Jump for Kumamoto from Miyazaki starting today. Timed to mark the 10th anniversary of the Kumamoto earthquake, the project was launched with the cooperation of the Kumamoto Nichinichi Shimbun and began with four companies, including Minamiaso Beer and Mojiko Retro Beer.
This beer uses spring water from the Shiio Spring in Mashiki Town, Kumamoto Prefecture, as well as Cascade hops and rice from Minamiaso. It also incorporates two additional hop varieties, Luminosa and Superdelic, with the recipe said to reflect an image of the future that lies beyond the disaster.
Each part of the product name "HOPe Step Jump" carries its own meaning.
- HOPe: a word combining hops and hope
- STEP: the path traveled so far
- JUMP: a leap forward into the next stage, together with the people who supported recovery
The flavor is described as fruity, easy to drink, and a good match for meals, making it approachable even for people who are not familiar with craft beer. Part of the sales will be donated to support Kumamoto's regional recovery, including earthquake reconstruction efforts. Rather than being just another new product launch, it deserves attention as a beer that connects the memory of the land with future support.
