Hop BroToday’s topic is WITCH CRAFT Market in Kumamoto pouring MINOH BEER’s four seasonal releases.
MugiWhat! Getting a whole MINOH BEER lineup in Kumamoto sounds like instant reward mode.
Hop BroThey’ve got Kocha Bitter, Rockin’ O-Saru IPA, Grapefruit Sour, and Hoppy Weizen in one stacked lineup.
MugiHold on, what does UK-style bitter even mean? That suddenly sounds like homework!
Hop BroBitter doesn’t just mean extra bitter. It’s a classic easy-drinking British ale style. Kocha Bitter adds Earl Grey aromatics with a light, calm finish.
MugiOhhh! Then that Rockin’ O-Saru IPA with 8.5% punch is one of those cute-name, dangerous-beer situations?
Hop BroExactly. It’s the regular O-Saru IPA turned up hard, with grapefruit and tropical notes that jump out fast, and it still drinks smoother than it should.
MugiThat is a delicious trap. But for Hoppy Weizen, what does yeast-derived aroma mean, Professor Beer?
Hop BroDuring fermentation, yeast can create soft banana-like and spicy notes. Then the German hops add depth, which is the fun of Hoppy Weizen.
MugiAnd Grapefruit Sour sounds great too. If it has a light body and clean tartness, that feels perfect for hot weather.
Hop BroThat’s the move. WITCH CRAFT Market also has a cool room to linger in, and they’re even doing 10% off large pours, so I’m already planning my order.
MugiThat’s it, I’m sold. I want to start with Grapefruit Sour and finish with Rockin’ O-Saru IPA. I want a pint now.
WITCH CRAFT Market, a beer pub in Ozu, Kumamoto, shared a photo of several Minoh Beer seasonals lined up together. The post shows four named beers: `Kucha Bitter`, `Rocking Osaru IPA`, `Gurefuru Sour`, and `Hoppy Weizen`.
- `Kucha Bitter` is an English-style bitter brewed with Earl Grey tea. It is described as light on the palate, with a calm finish and bergamot-like aroma.
- `Rocking Osaru IPA` is a stronger, more assertive version of Minoh Beer’s regular Osaru IPA, raised to 8.5% ABV. The brewery describes grapefruit and tropical-fruit notes.
- `Gurefuru Sour` is a grapefruit-forward sour ale with a light body and crisp acidity, making it a strong fit for warmer weather.
- `Hoppy Weizen` is a German-hop version of the brewery’s hop-forward wheat beer, adding extra depth to the soft yeast-driven character.
The post also notes that the taproom is a good place to take your time with a beer in a cool indoor setting, and mentions a limited-time 10% discount on large tap pours. It reads like a straightforward seasonal update from a venue that knows how to present beer without overdoing the sales pitch.
