Hop BroAnybrew in Sakai, Osaka, has tapped the limited Big Time Hazy. It is a collaboration between HINO BREWING and NOMCRAFT BREWING—pretty exciting, right?
MugiWhat?! That name sounds huge! What is a Hazy IPA? Is it beer with little clouds in it?
Hop BroClose—think hazy, not cloudy weather. A juicy-style IPA highlights hop aroma and often has a softer bitterness.
MugiOoh! If it is meant for easy gulps, even I might like it. I want that thirst-quenching pint!
Hop BroThe tap list is wonderfully broad too: Shiga Kogen Beer’s rice lager, HOUSE LAGER, plus Daisen G Beer’s white ale and stout.
MugiThere are lagers and dark beer too?! I might turn into a statue in front of the menu. Too many great choices!
Hop BroThat calls for a tasting flight. Ise Kadoya Beer’s Nekotachi no Chinmoku is a New Zealand-style IPA with vibrant hop character.
MugiThere is that expert look again! What makes a New Zealand-style IPA different from a regular IPA?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it often showcases hops popular in New Zealand, with citrus and tropical-fruit aromas. It is a tropical trip by aroma—no passport needed!
MugiAmazing! And Bellwoods Brewery has bottles too, including its Hazy IPA, Cat Lady now available. If there is a cat on it, I want to take it home!
Hop BroCat Lady brings tropical fruit and pine-like notes with firm bitterness. There is also a pumpkin coffee stout layered with cinnamon, coffee, and vanilla.
MugiThen Anybrew it is—we start with Big Time Hazy and make a tasting adventure! Let’s toast in Sakai, after checking the latest availability!
