At HOP MAN, a beer pub in Jokkensaka, Chigasaki, a new guest beer has been tapped: KaruizawaQ 'Minawa'.

The beer is a 6.0% Juicy IPA. According to the post, it uses Peacharine and Nectaron, bringing a sweet, peach-like hop aroma, a rounded mouthfeel, and a soft bitterness. The name suggests a light, bubble-like impression, and the beer seems to be built around that delicate, fleeting character.

HOP MAN is one of those Chigasaki beer pubs where the tap list is worth watching closely. Rather than an aggressively hop-loaded IPA, this release leans into aromatic clarity and a smooth drinking experience. For fans of fruit-forward hop expression, 'Minawa' is a guest pour worth noting.
