Hop BroToday we're talking about In a daze Brewing & Taproom in Ina City, Nagano Prefecture. On April 16 it opens at 11:30, and since it's a brewery-attached taproom, you can drink freshly made beer on the spot.
MugiWait, you can drink from noon!? 11:30 to 5:00 p.m. is totally an invitation to daytime drinking!
Hop BroAnd right now there are seven draft beers on tap: Ina Hiyori Pale Ale, HAZY DAZE, POWDER DAY, Gonbei IPA, Sanshu IPA, Kurashi Session Ale, Mori no Za, and Coconut Anpan Stout.
MugiWait, what's a Hazy Session IPA? Is it hazy? Or is it busy?
Hop BroSimply put, it's an IPA that prioritizes aroma and goes down easy. HAZY DAZE | POWDER DAY is ABV 4.5% and IBU 22, so instead of chasing intense bitterness, it's the kind you enjoy for its juiciness and drinkability.
MugiWow! Then a tasting of Gonbei IPA and Sanshu IPA sounds really fun! They're both American IPAs, but are they different?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. The IBU difference matters. Gonbei IPA is IBU 40, while Sanshu IPA is IBU 56, so Sanshu IPA should have a crisper hop outline.
MugiWhoa, numbers can change it that much! But Kurashi Session Ale catches my eye because it has Meyer lemon in it!
Hop BroThat's the kind of beer that's light and easygoing. At ABV 4% and IBU 18, it works well as an opener for daytime drinking, and it pairs nicely with pizza and doughnuts.
MugiWhat, there's also Coconut Anpan Stout!? The name already has too much information, and it sounds like a dessert beer!
Hop BroExactly. It's an oatmeal milk stout with coconut and red beans. They also have beers named after local places, and since it has such strong Ina brewpub character, this is the kind of lineup that makes you want to go with a friend and compare notes.
MugiIt's decided! I'll start with Mori no Za and finish with the sweet one! Just reading the article has made my throat remember beer!
