Hop BroAt Stand Umineko SiB100 in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, Derailleur Brew Works' "NIGHT RIDER ROUTE26♯012" is on tap. If you like Session IPAs, this is a very interesting one.
MugiWhoa! Even the title sounds cool! "NIGHT RIDER ROUTE26♯012" sounds like something you'd ride on a bike at night!
Hop BroThat energy fits it perfectly. It's a Session IPA with ABV 4.5%, IBU 33, and SRM 3.5. It's light, but it still has proper bitterness, and the color is pale too.
MugiWait, what's IBU 33 or SRM!? Those numbers suddenly got way too technical, and my brain just froze!
Hop BroIBU is a guide to bitterness, and SRM is a measure of color depth. So this one feels light yet well-defined: clean on the palate, but not blurry in character.
MugiOhh! And it uses four kinds of hops, so it's packed with stuff! Does that layered aroma from four hops really make that much of a difference?
Hop BroIt does. Magnum, Mosaic, Nectaron, and Krush are added in stages, building layered aromas and a solid bitterness. It has juiciness too, but it never feels sloppy, which is the nice part.
MugiWhat is that, it's so luxurious! And it says they revisited the malt too, so a Pilsner-centered body means it's a bit on the refreshing side, right?
Hop BroExactly. They use malt made in the U.S. and Germany, and switched the base to a Pilsner-centered body. Then they ferment it cleanly with BRY-97 yeast, letting the hop aroma come through clearly.
MugiI see, so it's dry and easy to drink while still letting the aroma stand out! And since this is a revival in its 12th batch, I like how it feels like something that's been polished over and over!
Hop BroExactly. The official line even says start with a pint, so it works both as your first drink and as something to sip carefully. If you're looking for a new IPA in Shibuya, check it out at SiB100 in Dogenzaka.
MugiNow I really want to drink it! A new IPA in Shibuya? This is definitely one to stop for after work!
New Release: "NIGHT RIDER ROUTE26♯012"
At the beer pub "Stand Umineko SiB100" in Shibuya, Tokyo, Derailleur Brew Works' new beer "NIGHT RIDER ROUTE26♯012" was introduced. The style is Session IPA, with ABV 4.5%, IBU 33, and SRM 3.5. It uses malt made in the U.S. and Germany, hops Magnum, Mosaic, Nectaron, and Krush, and BRY-97 yeast.
This beer is a renewed revival release that followed "NIGHT RIDER ROUTE26" and "NIGHT RIDER CLEAR WATER REVIVAL." This is the 12th batch, and the malt composition, hops, and yeast have all been revisited. While shifting the body to a Pilsner-centered base, it keeps the light, drinkable character intact. By adding the four hops in stages, it brings together layered aromas and a pronounced bitterness, resulting in a finish that balances juiciness with easy drinkability.
BRY-97 yeast is used to ensure a clean, dry fermentation profile. The design makes hop-derived aromas easier to perceive clearly, giving it a distinctive drinking presence even within the lightness of a Session IPA. The official announcement also says to "start with a pint," making it a beer that works both as a first drink and as something to enjoy slowly.
The venue is inside the Derailleur Building at 2-16-2 Dogenzaka, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, about a 5-minute walk from JR Shibuya Station. It opens at 4:00 p.m. on weekdays, 3:00 p.m. on Fridays and the day before holidays, and 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
