Mya Brew releases new Dark IPA 'Akegoma da yo Leon-kun'
Mya Brew, based in Chikusa Ward, Nagoya, released a new Dark IPA called 'Akegoma da yo Leon-kun' on August 18. Brewed with Centennial, Columbus, and Chinook, it comes in at 7.0% ABV and 81 IBU. The brewery also appeared at the Ebisu night market that day.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Mya Brew’s new release. The brewery in Chikusa, Nagoya tapped a Dark IPA called "Open Sesame, Leon-kun" on August 18.
MugiWhat! Open Sesame, Leon-kun is such a wild name! I’m already entertained before even taking a sip!
Hop BroThe name is goofy, but the beer is serious: it’s a proper Dark IPA. It’s built at 7.0% ABV with a hefty 81 IBU bitterness.
MugiWhoa! But when you say 81 IBU, my brain just hears "dangerously bitter alert" and starts panicking!
Hop BroIBU is basically a bitterness scale. At 81, it should hit firmly, but the finish is dry, so it’ll probably stay crisp instead of feeling heavy.
MugiDry and bitter? That is a lot for one little glass! I thought dark beer was supposed to be sweet and mellow!
Hop BroThat contrast is the fun part. It uses three classic hops: Centennial, Columbus, and Chinook. You get citrus, piney resin notes, and roasted malt layered together.
MugiWait, pine resin aroma? Is this beer or a hike through a forest? My pint is turning into a campsite!
Hop BroNot literal tree chewing, just a pine-like character in the aroma. Mixed with citrus lift, roast, and a clear bitterness, that’s what makes it so compelling.
MugiOhhh! And they’re pouring it at the Higashi Betsuin night market while the brewery is open too? That’s a lot of chances to catch it fresh!
Hop BroExactly. A beer that’s dark yet hoppy like this is best enjoyed on site. Night market or taproom, I already want this as my first pour.
MugiSame here, I’m fully in. I want a glass right now, and honestly even saying the name out loud sounds like part of the fun!
New Dark IPA
Mya Brew released a new beer, 'Akegoma da yo Leon-kun,' on August 18. The beer is a Dark IPA with 7.0% ABV and 81 IBU, bringing a firm bitterness to the brewery's latest lineup from Chikusa Ward, Nagoya.
Hop-forward profile
According to the post, the beer uses Centennial, Columbus, and Chinook as the core hop varieties. The brewery describes it as a classic American-hop-driven beer with citrus and resin-like aromas, finished dry. The roast-malt character and pronounced bitterness should make it a strong choice for fans of darker, hop-forward IPAs.
Served on the same day
Mya Brew also said it would appear at the Ebisu night market on the same day, while keeping its shop open as well. The post's tap list showed the new beer alongside other house and collaboration beers, suggesting the brewery is pairing local event appearances with immediate on-site service.
Based in Nagoya's Chikusa Ward, Mya Brew continues to build a lineup that balances hop character and malt depth. This new Dark IPA fits that approach well, especially for drinkers looking for a darker beer with a clear hop presence.
