The Featured Beer


Taru Taru, the beer pub at 2-5-5 Kawaramachi in Takamatsu, highlighted Streetlight Brewing’s mountain man IPA in an Instagram post. The caption says it is mountainman’s original beer and that it is back again this summer.

Flavor Profile


The hop bill centers on Sabro, supported by Centennial, Chinook, and Citra. According to the post, Sabro brings coconut and woody aromas, while the C hops add citrus and pine. The result is presented as an IPA with a clear aromatic outline.

What the Post Suggests


The caption also introduces the world of mountainman, a farm restaurant in Minami Ward, Sapporo. It mentions vegetables grown in the farm behind the restaurant, firewood BBQ, and a tent sauna, painting a picture of a place designed around outdoor-oriented experiences. The post notes that the staff cultivate the fields themselves and grow vegetables without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, which helps explain the beer’s “mountain-friendly” theme.

Taken together, the beer comes across as something that works both in the city and with outdoor food such as BBQ. The post explicitly points to BBQ as a great match, making this a beer to keep in mind for drinkers who enjoy hop-driven IPAs with a distinct aromatic profile.
