Hop BroThere’s hot news from Kiyosumi Shirakawa: Dawnbrews just won three awards!
MugiWhoa! It won at JGBA2026? Is that a big deal?
Hop BroPretty big. The gold went to Kabocha Trick, silver to MALT DE NIRO, and bronze to C'mon C'mon C'mon.
MugiWhat is that? Those names are intense! So, what style of beer are they?
Hop BroThe post doesn’t list the detailed style names, but Kabocha Trick looks like a pumpkin-style ale that uses adjuncts.
MugiAdjuncts? Suddenly it’s pro jargon! What even is that?!
Hop BroIt refers to ingredients other than malt and hops, so basically the part that gives flavor character, and this time it’s the pumpkin character that stands out.
MugiOhhh! And the prices changed too, right? I’m curious about the award tasting set!
Hop BroThat’s the best part: the award set is 1,800 yen for TAP5, 6, and 8, and the full eight-beer tasting set is 4,400 yen.
MugiThat’s so good it’s funny! Drinking at CLANN BY THE RIVER along the Sumida River is basically location victory!
Hop BroBeing an in-house brewery and getting these results is impressive, and since you can pair it with coffee and food, this is the time to drink.
MugiDeal! I’m going to finish work with the feeling that tonight we’re toasting in Kiyosumi Shirakawa!
