Aomori Brew Pub starts sales of Be Easy Brewing’s limited Red IPA “Daiji na Keyagu”
Aomori Brew Pub in Aomori announced the release of Be Easy Brewing’s limited can beer “Daiji na Keyagu.” The Red IPA balances malt depth and hop character, and it arrives as a 10th-anniversary collaboration connecting Aomori and Saitama.
Hop BroThis one's worth opening with: Aomori's limited can just landed at Aomori Brew Pub. It's Be Easy Brewing's Red IPA, Daiji na Keyagu.
MugiWait, Daiji na Keyagu sounds adorable and dangerous. Is a Red IPA just an IPA that put on a red jacket?
Hop BroPretty much the stylish version. It's a proper Red IPA, 6.5% ABV, with real malt depth but enough hop character to stay sharp.
MugiHold on, malt depth means what exactly? Is the beer wearing a weighted blanket, and the hops are introducing themselves?
Hop BroBasically, the flavor base is sturdy. Amber and Crystal malts build richness, then Cascade, Simcoe, and Motueka layer in orange-marmalade fruit, light spice, and gentle bitterness.
MugiOhhh, so it's not just sweet, it has that orange marmalade vibe too. And Keyagu isn't some secret northern spell, right?
Hop BroNo spell, it's dear friend in Tsugaru dialect. This can also marks a collab with a Saitama beer bar hitting its 10th anniversary, one of the first nine places to pour Be Easy's first batch in Japan.
MugiThat is ridiculously good. Aomori and Saitama connected by beer feels like a buddy movie I would absolutely watch.
Hop BroAnd Aomori Brew Pub is walkable from Aomori Station, up on the second floor of Gareth Building. You can bounce between house beers and guest taps, then grab the limited can too.
Hop BroWhich is why this is malt and hops both winning at once. It really sounds like the kind of beer that makes you want to toast the whole 10-year story.
MugiYep, I'm done waiting. I want it now, and then I want another pour inside so I can drink the friendship too.
Aomori Brew Pub in Aomori’s Yasukata district announced the start of sales for Be Easy Brewing’s limited can beer, “Daiji na Keyagu.” The beer is a Red IPA at 6.5% ABV, built around a firm malt backbone with enough hop presence to keep the finish vivid and balanced.
The name `Daiji na Keyagu` comes from Tsugaru dialect and means “precious friend.” According to the brewery’s release, the beer was created in collaboration with a Saitama beer bar that was one of the first nine accounts to put Be Easy Brewing’s very first batch on tap 10 years ago. With both sides marking their 10th anniversaries, the release is framed as a beer that celebrates a decade-long craft beer connection between Aomori and Saitama.
In flavor terms, the beer layers Amber and Crystal malt character with Cascade, Simcoe, and Motueka hops. The result is described as rich and multi-layered, with orange-marmalade-like fruitiness, a touch of spice, and a clean, moderate bitterness. For drinkers who want an IPA with real malt depth rather than hop intensity alone, this is a noteworthy release.
Aomori Brew Pub itself is a brewpub on the second floor of Gareth Building, within walking distance of Aomori Station. It offers a setting where house beer and guest beer can be enjoyed side by side, giving the space both a local Aomori feel and a playful, experimental craft beer spirit. The limited can is worth checking out alongside a drink in the pub.
