A limited release for three venues

Jive Craft Beer & Spanish in Shinagawa introduced "Brelia Hazy IPA," a new original craft beer released by Stay Foolish, which operates three Spanish restaurants in Tokyo.

According to the post, the beer was created with Spanish food and flamenco nights in mind. It is described as a Hazy IPA with a smooth mouthfeel, firm bitterness, and a juicy, fruit-like character, giving it both softness and a clear edge.

The same post also shares a pork-stew recipe that uses the beer. The method calls for searing the pork first, then simmering it with onion, garlic, honey, mustard, and bay leaf, along with Brelia Hazy IPA, over low heat for about an hour. The result is meant to be a dish where the beer's aroma and flavor are absorbed into the sauce.

For a beer pub centered on craft beer and Spanish cuisine, the post is a practical reminder that a well-built beer can work both in the glass and in the kitchen. For drinkers in Shinagawa, it is a useful cue about what kind of beer and pairing the venue wants to promote.
