Noboru Brewing Announces West Coast Double IPA 'Togaru'
Noboru Brewing in Miyazaki City introduced its double-dry-hopped West Coast Double IPA, "Togaru (Togaru)," on Instagram. It is designed at ABV 8.5% and IBU 100, and is presented as a refined version of Batch No. 4 brewed in January 2024.
Hop BroMiyazaki City's Noboru Brewing has dropped a new Togaru on Instagram. The fact that it's a West Coast Double IPA is enough to get hop lovers buzzing.
MugiWhoa! Just the name West Coast Double IPA sounds intense! It feels like it's saying, "You'd better come prepared to drink tonight!"
Hop BroAnd on top of that, it's designed at ABV 8.5% and IBU 100. The bitterness is clearly dialed in, so it's the kind of beer that's aiming for both backbone and crispness.
MugiIBU 100? What even is that! Is that like the ceiling for bitterness? My mouth already feels like it's about to say, "Okay, we're done here!"
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a bitterness guide. They build it on Columbus' clean, forceful bitterness, then layer in aroma with Strata and Citra, so it doesn't end with just being bitter.
MugiOhhh! That's like a layered hop trick! Hearing passion fruit and grapefruit makes it suddenly sound like a fancy drink - that's sneaky!
Hop BroExactly. What's interesting is that Strata and StrataCGX bring out that dank aroma too. The grassy, resinous, slightly edgy feel is very West Coast, right?
MugiDank? What! Resin-like aroma? So even though it's beer, does it feel like you're walking into a forest? But somehow it sounds like it would straighten your posture the second you drink it!
Hop BroThat's the good thing about Togaru - they were aiming for something easy to drink. It started with a brew in January 2024, batch No. 4 was refined, and now it's back in response to people wanting it again. That's pretty exciting, too.
MugiWow, a returning beer like that really hits the heart! When a well-liked one comes back, it feels kind of like a reunion, and I love that.
Hop BroIt's basically the finished form of Togaru - a classic outline with modern hop aroma layered on top. Tonight, all that's left is to chill the glass and wait.
MugiDeal! Let's toast tonight! Crisp bitterness, a grin from the aroma - that's definitely going to be delicious!
Miyazaki City's Noboru Brewing introduced its new beer Togaru (Togaru) on Instagram. The brewery opened in January 2024 and, while based in Miyazaki City, produces beers centered on IPAs and Pale Ales, as well as Helles and Weizen.
This time's Togaru is a Double Dry-Hopped West Coast Double India Pale Ale. The specs are ABV 8.5% and IBU 100, and the hops used are Strata, StrataCGX, Columbus, and Citra. In the post, the brewery explains that this is a refreshed re-release of a double IPA first brewed shortly after production began in January 2024 as Batch No. 4.
Its character lies in the balance between firm bitterness and contemporary hop aroma. It is said to be built around the clean, powerful bitterness from Columbus, layered with passion fruit, grapefruit, and dank nuances from Strata and Strata CGX. Noboru Brewing says the goal was a finish that is easy to drink yet doesn't wear you out, with substantial bitterness but a smooth drinkability.
In the post, it is positioned as one of the beers that was well received in the past, and can also be read as a return that answers the calls of people saying, "I want to drink that again." This release, which keeps the outline of a classic West Coast IPA while increasing the density of hop aroma, seems to clearly express the brewery's stance of "making people happy with the best beer."
