B.M.B. Brewery's Session IPA "Cantabile" in Collaboration with MEGANE ROCK
B.M.B. Brewery in Miyazaki City has introduced "Cantabile," a collaboration beer with the music event MEGANE ROCK. This 4.5% ABV Session IPA combines Citra, Mosaic, and Nelson Sauvin with wheat and oats, achieving both easy drinkability and satisfying depth.
Hop BroThe MEGANE ROCK collaboration, Cantabile, released by Miyazaki's B.M.B. Brewery, is pretty interesting.
MugiWhoa, the name already sounds stylish! But is MEGANE ROCK collaboration like, a rock about glasses?
Hop BroNo, that's the name of the event. This one ties into a music event in downtown Miyazaki City, and it's a beer that captures the feel of the city as it is.
MugiOhhh! So what is a session IPA? Is Session IPA one of those contradictory beers that's light but strong?
Hop BroBasically, it's an IPA focused on drinkability. And since it's ABV 4.5%, you can keep drinking it easily without it feeling thin.
MugiWhat is that! Too good to be true! But how do they give it that satisfying body?
Hop BroThey revised the recipe this year and added wheat and oats. That smooths out the mouthfeel and gives it more depth while keeping it light.
MugiNice! I'm curious about the hops too! Citra, Mosaic, and Nelson Sauvin sound powerful just by name!
Hop BroThe aroma shifts into mint and pine, then citrus, and even fruitiness. The changing expression over time makes the evolving aroma really fun.
MugiAnd B.M.B. Brewery's stance of from beer to culture is really cool too.
Hop BroExactly. It's a beer that brings together the mood of music and Miyazaki's local vibe, so you just want to drink it right now.
MugiYeah, it seems like it would go well with food too, and now I want to toast with Cantabile tonight!
B.M.B. Brewery is a brewery that continues to make beer based in Miyazaki City. According to its official website, brewing began in Jingumae, Miyazaki City, in November 2018, and a new brewery was completed in Kiyotake in July 2024. Its concept is "From beer to culture." Rooted in the local community, it aims to create craft beer that does not cling to convention.
This "Cantabile" is a collaboration beer with "MEGANE ROCK," a circuit-style music event held in downtown Miyazaki City. The style is Session IPA, with an alcohol content of 4.5%. This year, the recipe was partially renewed, adding wheat and oats to change the mouthfeel, while Citra, Mosaic, and Nelson Sauvin were used as the hops.
The introduction describes it as a beer with satisfying depth despite its lower ABV, and another description presents it as having notes of mint, pine, and citrus, with flavors of pine resin, citrus, and fruit that evolve over time. It is a Session IPA that ties into a music event while remaining easy to pair with everyday meals.
B.M.B. Brewery has been increasing its presence as a bridge between Miyazaki's local scene and craft beer. "Cantabile" is a collaboration that clearly expresses that stance, and it also conveys the brewery's direction of wanting to express the atmosphere of an event through beer.
