Inabiya Chiba Inage Beer Starts Serving New "Meteor," with Tea Notes and Blueberry Juice
The brewpub "Inabiya Chiba Inage Beer" in Inage, Chiba, announced on Instagram that it has started serving its new beer "Meteor." Built on a beer with tea-like character and layered with blueberry juice, it was released after the owner went through trial and error and let it mature until the flavors came together.
Hop BroToday's highlight is Inabiya Chiba Inage Beer's new "Meteor" now on tap - this is the kind of beer people will want to talk about!
MugiWhoa! The name sounds cosmic and powerful! But what kind of new craft beer is it actually?
Hop BroThe brewpub Inabiya Chiba Inage Beer Brewery in Inage Ward, Chiba City announced it on Instagram, and serving has started in-house.
MugiHuh! So the "beer that tastes like tea" from the article means milk tea flavor? Because I'd drink that too!
Hop BroNot really a sweet tea vibe. It's more of a design that layers blueberry juice over the roasty aroma of tea-colored malts, aiming for something close to a berry-forward brown ale.
MugiWhat? That got technical all of a sudden! Can even I understand that toasty tea-colored malt character?
Hop BroSure. Basically, it's a richness like "the crust of toasted bread," right? They connect that with fruit aroma to make it into something that's not just a fruit beer.
MugiOhhh, the bread-crust explanation makes sense! And they didn't rush it out either - they let it sit first to check the balance of the flavors. That feels so artisanal!
Hop BroThat's the best part: the mindset of trying, adjusting, and finishing it properly. And the name is clever too, with that sibling-beer position to the existing label Sati.
MugiThere are only reasons to be curious about it! It's easy to get to between JR Inage Station and Keisei Inage Station, so now I want to go there and compare the beers on-site!
Hop BroThat's settled then - enjoy the experimental feel with Meteor and pair it with Sati for the perfect lineup. Now I feel like I want to head straight to Inage together tonight!
The brewpub "Inabiya Chiba Inage Beer Brewery" in Inage Ward, Chiba City, is now serving its new beer "Meteor."
According to the shop's post, the recipe is defined by a beer with tea-like nuances as its base, combined with blueberry juice. The goal was to create an "English brown beer with a berry feel," but the finished result turned out a little different from the original idea. After that, they let it sit for a while to confirm that the flavors had come together, and that led to this launch.
"Meteor" was named as something like a "sibling beer" to the shop's existing label "Sati." Rather than being just a fruit beer, it shows an experimental approach, with attention to how to connect the gentle aromas of tea-colored malts with the impression of fruit.
Inabiya is a neighborhood-focused brewpub located between JR Inage Station and Keisei Inage Station. By continually rolling out new house-brewed releases and linking them with events and local projects, it supports the craft beer scene in Chiba's Inage area. For drinkers who follow new releases, this "Meteor" also looks like a beer that offers the shop's signature process of "trying things out and then finishing them properly."
