At Repubrew Mishima Slider House 24Taps in Mishima, Shizuoka, guests can now enjoy 'Tsuki ni Kawatte Oshioki IPA' from REPUBREW. The beer joins a pub built around 24 taps, making it a fitting stage for a technically minded guest pour.

The beer's concept is unusual for an IPA: it uses lager yeast instead of the more familiar ale yeast. According to the brewery's notes, that choice helps create a cleaner finish with less residual sweetness while still keeping the IPA character intact. The beer sits at 7.1% ABV and 77 IBU, so it is clearly built with firm structure.

In the glass, it shows a clear pale-gold color. The aroma opens with Chinook-driven citrus, followed by juicy stone-fruit notes associated with Simcoe and Mosaic. The finish is crisp and dry, showing the kind of snap that lager yeast can bring to a hop-forward beer. The hop bill centers on Simcoe, Mosaic, and Chinook to let the yeast character stand out.

For food, the brewery suggests rich dishes such as cheeseburgers, nachos, pulled pork, and beef steak. For beer drinkers in Mishima looking for something familiar in style but different in execution, this is the kind of IPA worth ordering on tap.
