Ise Kadoya Beer's Kamikyu Brewery Releases Spring IPA Festival 2026, a Set of Six IPAs
Ise Kadoya Beer, based at its Kamikyu Brewery in Ise City, has released "Spring IPA Festival 2026." The set includes six distinctive 350 ml cans, including Hop Nyaon 11th Fleet, Neko Nihiki, and Another Cut, a collaboration beer with VERTERE.
Hop BroIse Kadoya Beer's Spring IPA Festival 2026 is here. From the Kamikyu Brewery, a tasting set for IPA lovers is lined up all at once with six bottles.
MugiWait, a set of six IPAs!? The moment you open it, it already feels like a spring festival. It doesn't look like a refrigerator anymore; it looks like the venue for a celebration!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is strong. Hop Nyaon 11th Fleet is a DDH Hazy IPA, with 7.0% alcohol and 50 IBU. It's the kind that layers on hop aroma in a big way.
MugiWhat even is DDH? It sounds like a spell for stacking hops and it's scary!
Hop BroIn short, it's a method of heavily loading in hops. The idea is to bring out a stronger aroma and make the beer feel juicier and more floral.
MugiI see, my nose is going to be busy before I even drink it! And Neko Sanbiki is a TDH Opaque Triple IPA at 10.0%, which is way more gym-rat than its name suggests!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. TDH Opaque Triple IPA has that piled-on hop intensity and the thick body of a hazy beer, with a solid bitter design at IBU 70. It looks gentle, but the inside means business.
MugiWhoa, fuzzy on the outside and flashy on the inside!? Neko Nihiki smells mango-like too, so is it sweet or dangerous?
Hop BroThe key there is the tropical sweetness. Neko Nihiki is a HAZY DOUBLE IPA, and because the fruitiness comes forward, it's the kind that drinks through its juicy aroma more than through bitterness.
MugiHmm, so Neko Shikan Shinjirararenai sounds like it's already testing my trust. And with Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven 3xIPA in there too, that is a lot of information!
Hop BroExactly. Having two 10.0% Triple IPAs in the set is what makes it so wild. And Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven 3xIPA, an American-style Triple IPA, comes in at IBU 88, so the bitterness has real backbone too.
MugiWow, it's bitter but also packed with aroma. This is basically a roller coaster in beer form! And Another Cut is a collaboration with VERTERE, right? Feels like there's a chance to take a breather!
Hop BroYeah, it's a Hazy IPA with the aroma of Strata hops up front, and at 6.5% it's easy to drink too. If you open these six one after another in spring, you can taste the full breadth of Ise Kadoya Beer. I want to start the tasting right now.
MugiDeal, tonight the Spring IPA Festival opens. I'll start with aroma duty, so Hop Brother, you handle the bitterness!
