Hop BroFaló Brewing in Yamamoto, Miyagi just dropped limited IPA "Obake". It's built around Mosaic hops, and that alone gets my attention.
MugiWait, a ghost-themed IPA? That name already has me hooked. Why do I feel spooky and thirsty at the same time?!
Hop BroThe specs are strong too. ABV 6%, IBU 40 gives it enough body and bitterness to feel satisfying without going overboard.
MugiHold on, IBU 40 sounds like a test score. Is that super bitter, or just beer-nerd bitter?!
Hop BroIBU is basically a bitterness guide, so expect firm bitterness. But it's still designed to stay easy to drink.
MugiOhhh! And Berry, Dank, Crushable sounds less like tasting notes and more like a spell before happy hour!
Hop BroDank means that resinous, green, slightly sticky hop vibe. Here, Mosaic hop aroma ties that together with berry notes, and crushable just means it goes down easy.
MugiThat actually sounds amazing. Berry and bitterness together makes it feel more grown-up than a simple juicy IPA!
Hop BroExactly. And Faló Brewing is brewing in a renovated former school, which makes the whole story even better.
MugiA brewery in an old school?! Closed-school renovation is such a dramatic backstory. Now I want the beer and the documentary!
Hop BroThey kept the recipe simple and used Yakima-grown hops to let the character shine. It's also the second release, with both cans and draft, so I already want a side-by-side.
MugiThen it's settled. If this is a drink it fresh kind of IPA, I want Obake as soon as possible and at full aroma power!
Faló Brewing in Yamamoto Town, Miyagi, has introduced a limited IPA called Obake. The beer comes in at 6% ABV and 40 IBU, and the brewery describes it as "Berry, Dank, Crushable" - a profile built to balance hop aroma with a firm bitterness.
Mosaic is the hop at the core of the beer. According to the brewery, Mosaic’s character helped inspire later releases such as Stereo IPA and ShuChu IPA. For this batch, Faló used a current lot from Yakima, then kept the recipe deliberately simple so the hop could carry the beer. Faló Brewing itself operates out of a renovated former Sakamoto Junior High School in Yamamoto Town, and has been steadily expanding its reach beyond the brewery.
The post notes that this is the second release of Obake, and that the beer is available in both cans and on draft. The brewery also recommends serving it fresh, which makes sense for a hop-forward IPA where aroma and bitterness are both part of the appeal.
