BM Brewery launches collaboration IPA "GREEN RAY" with Baldys Good Beer
BM Brewery in Miyazaki City has released "GREEN RAY," a collaboration beer recreated with Baldys Good Beer. It is an 8.5% alcohol double IPA that expresses, based on a clone recipe, a "green" IPA that left its mark on craft beer history.
Hop BroThe collaboration IPA released by BM Brewery in Miyazaki City together with Baldys Good Beer is "GREEN RAY." This isn't just a new release; what's exciting is that it recreates a famous "green" classic from craft beer history based on a clone recipe.
MugiHuh! Does a clone recipe mean copying a beer? That sounds like a lab experiment, and it's kind of thrilling!
Hop BroExactly, it's a method that carefully tracks the original impression. The style is Double India Pale Ale, meaning a double IPA, and the alcohol content is 8.5%. Both the hop presence and the body are definitely strong.
MugiJust hearing double IPA sounds strong...! But 8.5% makes it seem like your cheeks would go red right away, doesn't it?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. The flavor is meant to return to the impact of that era. Instead of chasing the latest trends, the goal is to let you taste the grassy character and firm bitterness that old-school IPAs had.
MugiGrassy character... like drinking lawn grass? Wait, is a grassy aroma really that important?
Hop BroNot lawn grass, but that's how you describe the fresh, green aroma of hops. Old IPAs had those edges come forward more clearly, and the bitterness was crisp too. "GREEN RAY" is a challenge to see how that old-school feel can be expressed with today's brewing.
MugiSo it's a beer that updates memories from the past! And it's recreated together with Baldys Good Beer too, so the collaboration energy is off the charts!
Hop BroAnd the price is 992 yen (tax included), which is nice because you can buy just one bottle. Mixed orders with other products are also possible, and because of packaging, units of 6, 12, or 24 bottles are recommended, so it's easy for people who like to buy in bulk.
MugiWhoa, being able to buy just one bottle is so helpful! You can taste it first, and then bring home a whole case if you like it.
Hop BroWhat's more, the best-before date is listed as October 4, 2026, so it's nice that you can take your time with it. A brewery in Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture, showing how it expresses an original experience through today's brewing really does warm the heart.
MugiThis makes me want to compare old-school IPAs now! Just hearing this story has made me thirsty, so I want to open "GREEN RAY" right away!
