Hop BroThis time I want to talk about Only Impact, the new release from Grandline Brewing in Yokosuka, a fresh American IPA.
MugiWhoa, that's a seriously punchy name! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's 7.0% ABV, and the tagline is bitter, sweet, slightly rough. That one line tells you exactly where it's headed.
MugiNo way, slightly rough? What does that mean, like the beer walks in with its jacket on one shoulder?
Hop BroProbably an IPA that pushes bitterness forward but keeps malt sweetness in the mix instead of polishing everything smooth.
MugiMalt!? That was sudden beer jargon. Is that the grain part, or am I thinking of snacks?
Hop BroMalt means malted grain, and it builds the flavor foundation of the beer. That's why it doesn't end as just plain bitter.
MugiGot it, so American IPA means full hop attack and a big hit up front?
Hop BroExactly. And Grandline Brewing, which opened in Yokosuka on October 6, 2023, has a wide stylistic range with IPA, hazy, and sour releases.
MugiI like that they're throwing that personality into a new beer. If it's walkable from Yokosuka-Chuo Station, I want to drink it there.
Hop BroIf we had it at the brewery, we'd probably catch the shape of the bitterness and how the sweetness lingers. A new beer adventure feels like the right slogan.
MugiThen it's settled. I want a pint right now and I'm fully ready for Only Impact to live up to the name!
