Hop BroAt Stand Umineko SiB100 in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, they’re pouring a new guest beer from Derailleur Brew Works. The style name alone is a hook: Luminous Black Light Ale.
MugiWait, the style already sounds like sci-fi, and the beer name is 『儿ﾅﾃｨッ勹☆ｳﾞｧｨﾌ〃ｽ↑↑ゃﾚよ″＋ﾆﾚﾆぇω ﾌｧｨｬーﾏｼﾞ卍』!? That is way too much name before the first sip!
Hop BroThat’s the funny part. For all the chaos, it’s actually easygoing at ABV 4.0% and IBU 21, so the body stays light instead of turning into a gimmick.
MugiI kind of know ABV and IBU, but SRM 9? Those sound like secret code stats and my brain just fizzed over!
Hop BroSRM is basically a scale for beer color. Think of it as a color ruler, and suddenly that number feels a lot less scary.
MugiAnd it glows yellow-green under blacklight? That’s less a beer and more a glow-in-the-glass show! How does that even happen?
Hop BroThat’s where it gets clever. Along with lemon juice and cardamom, they use vitamin B2 as the coloring element, and it reacts under blacklight.
MugiCardamom makes me think chai, and then lemon comes in too? Hearing that it lands on a cola-like note is weirdly convincing.
Hop BroThen East Kent Golding and Target hops, plus Lallemand Windsor yeast, pull it together with gentle sweetness and light bitterness. It sounds like a clean, easy drinker for a first pint in Shibuya.
MugiSo it glows, smells spicy and citrusy, and still goes down easy? I’m ready for a Shibuya pint right now!
Hop BroSame here. If it looks this playful and still tastes balanced, that’s not just a novelty pour, that’s an instant reorder.
