Hop BroMAHOWBREW from Tsuboya, Naha City, Okinawa released The Cauldron, and it really has the presence you'd expect from an American DIPA.
MugiWhoa, just hearing a brewery in Tsuboya already makes it sound delicious!
Hop BroThis beer is an American DIPA, with a solid 8.0% ABV and 64 IBU.
MugiIBU 64? Wait, with a bitterness number that high, is this the kind that makes your face tighten up?
Hop BroExactly. The hops are Amarillo, Centennial, and DynaBoost Mosaic, so it's the kind with a strong piney aroma upfront.
MugiWhat? So it's got that woody character like you stumbled across a beer in the middle of the forest?
Hop BroPretty close. And it uses 2-Row Pilsner, Carahell, Carapils, and Beet Sugar in the malt bill, so the subtle caramel note rounds out the bitterness.
MugiNice! So it's not just bitter, it also has a lingering sweetness and that old-school vibe is great!
Hop BroThe yeast is BRY-97, and it finishes dry and crisp while the alcohol body holds the whole thing together nicely.
MugiThis has to go with meat dishes for sure. I already want to drink it with some grilled food right now!
The Cauldron
MAHOWBREW, based in Tsuboya, Naha City, Okinawa, is introducing its American DIPA, 'The Cauldron.' MAHOWBREW obtained its liquor manufacturing license in Tsuboya, known as a center for yachimun pottery, on June 24, 2024, and is a brewery that works across a wide range of styles, including IPA and Gose. One of its defining traits is its willingness to keep its core lineup intentionally limited while releasing beers with a variety of expressions.
This 'The Cauldron' is an American DIPA with 8.0% ABV and 64 IBU. The hops used are Amarillo, Centennial, and DynaBoost Mosaic, while the malt bill combines 2-Row Pilsner, Carahell, Carapils, and Beet Sugar. The yeast is BRY-97.
The tasting notes describe it as an old-school IPA with piney, woody hop aroma up front, layered with firm bitterness and a subtle caramel flavor. It is designed to be dry and crisp on the palate, with a somewhat higher alcohol presence supporting the body, making it enjoyable before, during, or after a meal.
It is said to pair especially well with meat dishes. Since it is a DIPA with clearly defined hop character, matching it with grilled or roasted foods should make it easier to balance bitterness and toasty aromas. It stands out as a beer that brings MAHOWBREW's character to the fore, emphasizing both ingredients and style.
