Hop BroTsukuba Brewery is releasing KAGAI for its 6th anniversary. It's a West Coast Double IPA, so it sounds like a pretty aggressive beer.
MugiWhoa! Even the name KAGAI sounds intense! But West Coast Double IPA is just packed with words I barely understand!
Hop BroBasically, it's an IPA where the hop character takes center stage. The aroma and bitterness come forward, so it has the kind of presence you'd want in a commemorative beer.
MugiSo when you say the hop character takes center stage, is it bitter? Or does it smell good? I want to know both!
Hop BroExactly. The appeal is that you can enjoy both the aroma and the bitterness. And with an ABV of 8% or higher, it should have plenty of body too.
Mugi8% or more!? That's total anniversary mode. If you accidentally go for a second glass, that's the kind of beer that makes the road home feel extra gentle!
Hop BroWhat's interesting about Tsukuba Brewery is that it uses natural water from the foot of Mount Tsukuba. You can really feel the character of the water in the beer.
MugiWow, so it's not just strong, it also has the feel of the local area in it. It already sounds delicious before you even drink it!
Hop BroWhat's more, it'll be available from June 5, and you can enjoy it on tap in the shop. A West Coast DIPA poured straight from the keg really raises expectations.
MugiJust hearing on tap gets me excited! I want to drink it fresh from the keg, and with the anniversary vibe too, this gives me nothing but reasons to go!
Hop BroIt's a special release brewed for the 6th anniversary milestone. The nice thing about KAGAI is that you can drink it while feeling Tsukuba's history.
MugiYeah, it's the kind of story that makes me want to raise a glass. Once June 5 arrives, let's celebrate together with KAGAI!
