Golden Week new arrivals at Koguma Saketen Sendai Station East Exit Main Store, including Uchu Brewing
New arrival information for Golden Week was announced at "Nippon no Craft Beer Koguma Saketen Sendai Station East Exit Main Store" near Sendai Station East Exit. The lineup includes Uchu Brewing's "Uchuu BREAK2," along with beers from MAHOWBREW, open air, and huîtrière from Akkeshi.
Hop BroThe GW new arrivals near Sendai Station East Exit are pretty aggressive at Koguma Saketen Honten. When they line up beers from Uchu Brewing, MAHOWBREW, open air, and huîtrière from Akkeshi, it is the kind of shelf you end up standing in front of for a while.
MugiWait, what is that! Uchu Brewing already sounds space-themed, but what should I drink first?
Hop BroIf you're deciding where to start, go with Uchuu BREAK2. It's a FANCY QUADRUPLE IPA, with dense citrus and tropical aromas, and even though it's high in alcohol, the juicy character comes through first.
MugiWhoa, what's a Quadrupel IPA!? Four times over sounds like the beer world's version of weight training!
Hop BroIn broad terms, it means the alcohol presence and body are both very strong, with sweetness and hop depth stacked on top. So it really appeals to people who want a rich, juicy character.
MugiOhhh! Now I want to try the MAHOWBREW one too! Hammer Krushed Brain sounds like it is going to shake my head just from the name!
Hop BroThat reading is basically right. It is a Triple IPA, with citrus notes like mandarin oranges and mango, plus dank aromas and solid bitterness, so it's an easy-to-understand pick for anyone who likes stronger beers.
MugiDank doesn't mean basketball dunk, right? And now I see there's an open air beer with rice koji too, so the amount of information is spilling over like foam!
Hop BroThat is an important clarification. open air's intergalactic is a Cold IPA that adds rice koji to bring out grapefruit and tropical brightness, while finishing dry and clean.
MugiSo there are options that are not too heavy. What about huîtrière from Akkeshi? The phrase contrasting pair really makes me curious!
Hop Brohuîtrière is really interesting. AKKESHI COAST IPA leans West Coast with lemon and grapefruit, while AKKESHI SUNSET is a Belgian Golden Ale layered with banana, apple, and spice. Even though they come from the same Akkeshi, the two show opposite personalities.
MugiWow, it sounds fun just to choose! I want to enjoy the fun of picking one bottle at a time at Koguma Saketen Honten and get serious about home drinking for Golden Week!
Hop BroExactly, and it is easy to stop by from Sendai Station too. It is fun to compare the labels while buying, and on days like this it makes me want to say, tonight is for a tasting side-by-side.
