Derailleur Brew Works Debuts Collaboration Beer "NISHIE" Early with Two-City Events
At 4:47 p.m. on March 6, Derailleur Brew Works in Nishinari, Osaka announced on Instagram that it would hold "DOUBLE TAP TAKE OVER." It said the collaboration beer "NISHIE" with Miyazaki's B.M.B BREWERY would get an event-only early release at two venues, one in Yokohama and one in Osaka.
Hop BroBig news today! Derailleur Brew Works in Osaka’s Nishinari has unveiled its new collaboration release, "NISHIE," with Miyazaki’s B.M.B BREWERY early at events in two cities.
MugiWhoa, two cities at once? That feels festival-level! Where can I drink it?
Hop BroThe event is called "DOUBLE TAP TAKE OVER." On March 6 and 7, there’s an advance tap release at IBREW YOKOHAMA in Yokohama, and on March 14 and 15 it will be held at iiie in Osaka’s Amerikamura.
MugiTap advance? Does that mean you still can’t buy cans yet?
Hop BroExactly. At first it’s draft only, so basically just the stuff coming straight from the tap. And at iiie they’re also doing advance sales of NISHIE in 350 ml cans, so the experience changes depending on the venue, which is the fun part.
MugiHuh, so what does NISHIE taste like? The name alone doesn’t tell me anything!
Hop BroThe style is Juicy Tropical Sour. ABV 4.5%, IBU 0. It uses passion fruit puree, guava puree, and sweet orange peel, so it’s full-on tropical, but the sourness is kept gentle.
MugiIBU 0!? Zero means it isn’t bitter!? It’s beer, though!? Where did the beer I know go!
Hop BroRelax, Mugi-chan, that reaction is a perfect 100. IBU is a rough measure of bitterness, so 0 means it’s pretty low on bitterness. The sweet-sour balance and smooth mouthfeel make it an easy entry point for beginners.
MugiThat sounds amazing! If it’s advance release only at events, I’m even more tempted to try it. If I spot it in Yokohama or Osaka, let’s raise a toast right away!
According to Derailleur Brew Works' post, the main highlight this time is the cross-collaboration beer "NISHIE" by Miyazaki B.M.B BREWERY × Osaka Derailleur Brew Works.
The beer style is Juicy Tropical Sour, with ABV 4.5% and IBU 0. It uses passion fruit puree, guava puree, and sweet orange peel, aiming for tropical fruit character and a gentle acidity. The product description emphasizes the balance of sweetness and sourness, along with a smooth mouthfeel, showing a direction that should be easy for craft beer beginners to approach.
Advance pours will take place at the two venues for "DOUBLE TAP TAKE OVER." On March 6 and 7, tap advance service will be held at IBREW YOKOHAMA in Yokohama, and on March 14 and 15, the event will be held at iiie in Osaka's Amerikamura, where advance sales of 350 ml cans of "NISHIE" are also being announced. The post also clearly notes conditions such as "tap only advance" and "event limited," so the experience changes depending on when you attend.
Derailleur Brew Works describes itself on its official website as a brewery based in Nishinari Ward, Osaka City, and says its name comes from the idea that "those who stray from the path are the ones who choose their own way of life." Its signature style is concept-driven planning that goes beyond standard templates and collaboration designs that bring in outside players. This "simultaneous two-city, limited early release" is the kind of event that lets people experience that personality firsthand.
