CHICKEN BOY Taps Two Rabbits Brewing’s KIWI IPA in Imaike
CHICKEN BOY, a beer pub in Imaike, Nagoya, has tapped Two Rabbits Brewing Company’s KIWI IPA. The New Zealand IPA uses 100% Kiwi hops and is described as having juicy grape-like and tropical-fruit aromas.
Hop BroBig one today: fresh on tap at CHICKEN BOY in Imaike is Two Rabbits Brewing's 'KIWI IPA' as a guest beer.
MugiWait, KIWI IPA means actual kiwi fruit in the beer, right? That name is screaming smoothie chaos!
Hop BroThat is the fun part. It's a New Zealand IPA, and the fruit vibe comes from 100% Kiwi hops, not kiwi puree.
MugiWhat even is 100% Kiwi hops? You're telling me leaves can cosplay as fruit now?
Hop BroMore like smart recipe design. It uses a three-hop lineup of Motueka, Nelson Sauvin, and Pacific Jade to push grape and tropical aromas.
MugiHold on, Nelson Sauvin sounds like a fancy wine guest who arrived overdressed.
Hop BroThat hop name matters. Nelson Sauvin often gives a white-grape-like aroma, so it feels juicy while the finish stays pretty clean.
MugiOoh, then it doesn't sound too heavy, which is good news for my still-learning IPA stamina.
Hop BroAnd CHICKEN BOY is a yakitori spot, so yakitori pairing power should be strong here. Char and sweet sauce love aromatic hops.
MugiThat is unfair. One sauce-glazed skewer and a sip of KIWI IPA, and I'd be sprinting to Imaike.
Hop BroIt also sits at a neat 6.0% ABV, so you get the aroma show without it feeling like a palate body slam.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. New Zealand in a glass with smoky yakitori sounds exactly like what I want tonight.
CHICKEN BOY, a beer pub in Imaike, Nagoya, has tapped Two Rabbits Brewing Company’s KIWI IPA. The Instagram post says, "@tworabbitsbrewing さんより KIWI IPAを開栓します," confirming the beer has been added as a guest pour.
KIWI IPA is part of Two Rabbits Brewing’s core lineup and is classified as a New Zealand IPA. It comes in at 6.0% ABV and is brewed with 100% Kiwi hops. According to the brewery’s official description, the beer opens with juicy aromas reminiscent of grapes and tropical fruit. The recipe also lists Motueka, Nelson Sauvin, and Pacific Jade, which help define its bright hop character and clean drinkability.
CHICKEN BOY is a charcoal-yakitori spot in Chikusa Ward that also serves craft beer. A hop-forward IPA like this should pair naturally with grilled chicken, especially when the smoke and savory sauce meet the beer’s fruit-driven aroma. For drinkers following guest taps in Nagoya, this is a straightforward but appealing addition to the lineup.
