MIHAMA BASE in Inage-Kaigan taps 8 bit x Harland and Yellow Beer Works
WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Inage-Kaigan added two new draft beers on August 10. The lineup features 8 bit x Harland’s DDH New Zealand WC IPA, The Hop Exchange, and Yellow Beer Works’ sour ale, Merry go round (ichigo ver.), alongside a broad tap list of classics and hop-forward styles.
Hop BroInage-Kaigan is hot today. MIHAMA BASE just tapped two new kegs!
MugiWhat! On a Monday? MIHAMA BASE is really trying to ruin my go-straight-home plans!
Hop BroThe new arrivals are 8 bit×Harland's The Hop Exchange and Yellow Beer Works' Merry go round (ichigo ver.), which is a pretty sharp combo.
MugiThose names already sound intense, but DDH New Zealand WC IPA feels like a secret spell. Should I be taking notes?
Hop BroThat part matters. DDH means piling in more hops for a full-aroma build, and with New Zealand hops you're getting white grape and passion fruit vibes. Then the West Coast IPA side keeps the finish dry.
MugiOhhh, so it smells tropical but drinks like crisp business. That's a dangerous level of appeal.
Hop BroExactly. The Hop Exchange also brings lemon-lime and red berry notes, and that hop presence sticks around all the way through.
MugiThen what about Merry go round? Strawberry and lactobacillus sounds like my dessert and my beer are fighting.
Hop BroIt's still very much beer. Lactose adds soft sweetness, the sour ale base keeps the tang, and the fun part is that it's more than sweet-tart. You even get a herbal hop finish.
MugiCute up front and serious on the finish? That's unfair. This is a flight board lock for me.
Hop BroAnd the tap list hit nine total, with GUINNESS, Hoegaarden White, Full Hop Alchemist r9, and Torpedo Extra IPA in the mix. It's basically a tasting paradise. They're open 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM, and takeaway bottles and cans are available too.
MugiThen we move fast before Tuesday's closure. You and I are both in full beer mode now, so let's get to Inage-Kaigan early!
Two new kegs in Inage-Kaigan
WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Chiba’s Inage-Kaigan added two new draft beers on August 10, the Monday before its regular closing day. The new arrivals are 8 bit x Harland’s The Hop Exchange and Yellow Beer Works’ Merry go round (ichigo ver.).
The Hop Exchange is a DDH New Zealand West Coast IPA built around New Zealand hops. The beer is described with aromas of white grape, passion fruit, and grapefruit, plus lemon-lime and red berry notes, finishing dry while still delivering a clear hop presence.
Merry go round (ichigo ver.) is a sour ale that blends strawberry character with lactic acidity. Lactose adds a soft sweetness, and the finish brings a herbal hop note, making it more layered than a simple fruit sour.
The day’s tap list also includes GUINNESS, KIRIN HEARTLAND, Hoegaarden White, West Coast Brewing Full Hop Alchemist r9, Societe The Dagger, Yuya Boys Flower Children/Lotus, and Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA. In other words, the bar offers a wide spread from familiar classics to IPA, hazy, and sour styles.
MIHAMA BASE also offers bottle and can takeout, with reservations available. It is closed on Tuesdays and open from 17:00 to 25:00, making it a solid stop for beer drinkers looking for something new on tap.
