RIKRI BREWING releases 2x Mash DDH Hazy IPA BARRICADE in keg and can
RIKRI BREWING in Meguro's Takaban area has released BARRICADE, a 2x Mash DDH Hazy IPA available on draft and in cans. Brewed with oat malt and flaked oats only, the beer is built around Citra, Riwaka, and Kohia Nelson.
Hop BroThere’s a fresh release from RIKRI BREWING in Meguro, and BARRICADE is the one I can’t stop thinking about.
MugiWhoa, that name sounds intense! Is it basically a full-on barricade in a glass or what?
Hop BroIt’s a 2×Mash DDH Hazy IPA brewed for BEER OLYN’s fourth anniversary, so this is a celebration collab beer.
MugiHold on, 2×Mash DDH sounds less like beer and more like a cheat code!
Hop BroDouble mash means building extra body from the mash, and DDH means adding more hops during fermentation to boost the aroma.
MugiOhhh, and no wheat? Just oat malt and flaked oats? That is basically all-in on oats!
Hop BroExactly, that’s where the silky mouthfeel comes from, and the hops are Citra, Riwaka, and Kohia Nelson in a three-hop lineup.
MugiKohia Nelson is new to me! Is that a rookie hop or some secret boss character?
Hop BroIt brings bright passionfruit, Sauvignon Blanc-like notes, that green NZ-hop edge, and even some stone fruit, like a layered aroma orchestra.
MugiWhat is that magic? Sweet aromatics, silky texture, and still not heavy at 7.5% ABV sounds like a drinkable heavyweight!
Hop BroThat’s the RIKRI style: not just flashy, but balanced enough to keep working through a whole pint, whether it’s on keg or in can, which is pint-proof brewing.
MugiThen let’s stop talking and pick keg or can later, because right now I just want a BARRICADE pour!
RIKRI BREWING in Takaban, Meguro has released BARRICADE, a 2x Mash DDH Hazy IPA that is being sold on draft and in cans. The beer was brewed to mark BEER OLYN's fourth anniversary and sits at 7.5% ABV.
The recipe skips wheat entirely and uses only oat malt and flaked oats in a double-mash build. Hops are Citra, Riwaka, and Kohia Nelson, with Kohia Nelson used for the first time. The aim is a hazy IPA with a fuller texture and a clear hop profile.
In the glass, the beer is built around bright passion fruit character, with Sauvignon Blanc-like aromatics, classic NZ green notes, and stone-fruit nuance layered on top. It is sweet on the nose and silky on the palate, but the finish stays light enough to keep drinking. For a brewery that focuses on balance and drinkability, BARRICADE is a good snapshot of its current direction.
