Cannonball Diner adds West Coast Brewing x Totopia Brewery's Riverphilia
Cannonball Diner, a beer pub in Uguisudani, announced a new craft beer arrival on July 1: Riverphilia, a third collaboration between West Coast Brewing and Totopia Brewery. The beer is a 8.0% Hazy Double IPA with a clearly listed hop bill.
Hop BroUguisudani just got more interesting: Cannonball Diner has Riverphilia on tap. It’s the third collab between West Coast Brewing and Totopia Brewery, and that alone is enough to make me pay attention.
MugiWait, a third collab already? That’s not a crossover anymore, that’s a full-on band reunion!
Hop BroAnd the style is Hazy Double IPA, sitting at 8.0% ABV. So you get that juicy haze thing with the bigger, heavier IPA punch.
MugiWhoa, 8.0% ABV sounds dangerous. If I drink that too fast, my tasting note is just going to be “yep... beer... wow.”
Hop BroThat’s the trick: they describe a silky mouthfeel with a thick body. High strength, but smooth enough to sneak up on you.
MugiHold on, Waimea Hop Kief? Is that basically hop fairy dust or are brewers just making up wizard words now?
Hop BroPretty much brewer wizardry, yeah. Kief is a concentrated layer of hop aroma compounds, basically compressed hop aroma. Add Citra, Riwaka, and Cascade, and the aroma stack gets serious.
MugiSo this thing is a tropical fruit parade with citrus, stone fruit, melon, and even fresh-cut grass? My nose needs a seatbelt.
Hop BroExactly, and Cannonball Diner is the kind of place where burgers and hazy IPA make immediate sense. Casual pub, strong guest beer, zero reason to hesitate.
MugiThen this is officially a Uguisudani tonight plan. You do the serious tasting notes, and I’ll handle the very important job of saying “wow, that’s good” after every sip.
