Hop BroSo Twin Peaks Mountain Brewing in Tsukuba brewed their first Hazy IPA with NOMCRAFT. And apparently Mark came all the way from Aridagawa, so the collaboration vibe is strong.
MugiWait, their first Hazy IPA? That's the cloudy one, right? A German-style brewery trying it all of a sudden sounds so interesting!
Hop BroExactly. And the recipe was based on R&D by former volunteer Tobias Huwer. Then Mark and the Twin Peaks team tweaked it and finished it together.
MugiR&D, like research and development in beer? Wow, that suddenly got very science-y, and my brain is bubbling over!
Hop BroPretty much. Hazy IPA's appeal is bringing out hop aroma and giving it a softer mouthfeel.
MugiOhh! So it's not just bitter, but more about a juicy aroma? If that's the case, I could drink that really easily!
Hop BroAnd Twin Peaks Mountain Brewing is usually a brewery that really values the German Purity Law. Since they're centered on German style in Tsukuba, this challenge feels especially fresh.
MugiWhoa, the Purity Law matters that much? Then going for a Hazy IPA is such an unexpected step that it's exciting!
Hop BroExactly. Plus, their attached beer restaurant also lets you enjoy beer and food together, so you can already imagine the finished collaboration.
MugiNow I'm hungry! This is the kind of brew from Tsukuba that makes you want to taste it with a meal!
Hop BroRelease details are still to come, but the name Tsukuba Hazy has a nice ring to it. Once the news drops, I'm heading straight there to drink it.
