Vietnam DAY at MIHAMA BASE in Makuhari, with new taps from Yuya Boys and WCB
WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Makuhari, Chiba, is holding a "Vietnam DAY" special business day, the Vietnam edition of its themed service day. The two new taps are Yuya Boys' "Flower Children/Sweetpea" and West Coast Brewing's "Hop Fua," which can be enjoyed alongside banh mi.
Hop BroVietnam DAY at MIHAMA BASE in Makuhari is the kind of event where eating and drinking both take center stage.
MugiWait, you can enjoy banh mi and beer together? That's basically a win already!
Hop BroAnd there are two new taps too, starting with Yuya Boys' new release "Flower Children/Sweetpea."
MugiWhat is that? The name sounds cute, but the beer sounds strong... is it a Double IPA?
Hop BroExactly. It's an 8.0% Double IPA with firm bitterness and grapefruit plus tropical fruit notes layered on top, so it's a seriously satisfying beer.
MugiWhoa, just imagining the aroma makes me hungry! But I'm also curious about the next one, Hop Fua!
Hop BroIt's West Coast Brewing's first Hazy IPA release, and since it's built around Citra, it opens up with citrus, pineapple, peach, and even berry notes.
MugiHuh! But isn't hazy just about the cloudy look? What do you mean by gentle bitterness?
Hop BroThe haze comes from hop compounds and the texture of the malt staying in the beer, and the bitterness tends to feel less sharp. That's why it has such a good balance of aroma and drinkability.
MugiI see, that sounds amazing with banh mi! Today is definitely one of those days when you want to try all eight drafts in order.
Hop BroIt has plenty to choose from, including the classics, and if this much is available in Makuhari, there's no reason not to go. I'm starting to feel like I want to cheers right now too.
MugiMe too! Let's raise a glass on Vietnam DAY today and enjoy both beer and food!
At WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Makuhari, Chiba, a craft beer specialty shop, "Shimai Eigyō no Hi: Vietnam Edition" is being held to give guests the feel of a Vietnamese street stall. Inside the shop, the setup lets you pair authentic banh mi with draft craft beer, and takeout is also available.
There are two new kegs on tap this time. One is Yuya Boys' second original beer, "Flower Children/Sweetpea". It is a Double IPA with an ABV of 8.0%. It delivers a solid hop-driven bitterness layered with notes of grapefruit and tropical fruit for a beer with plenty of presence.
The other is West Coast Brewing's "Hop Fua". This one is a Hazy IPA with an ABV of 7.0%. It is the first release of a new recipe built around Citra hops, with grapefruit-like citrus character, sweet elements reminiscent of pineapple and peach, and additional impressions of mixed berries and grass. A gentle bitterness lingers on the finish, making this a well-balanced beer with both aroma and drinkability.
The draft lineup for the day includes eight beers in total. In addition to the regulars, KIRIN/HEARTLAND and Fuller's/London Pride, the list also features NEKOBEER/FANTASISTA - Budo wa Tomodachi -, West Coast Brewing/Westie Bois, Night Shift/Fluffy Hazy IPA, and Deschutes/Hop Krush Hazy IPA. It is a lineup worth exploring on a day when you want both a meal and beer in Makuhari.
The event is announced for March 28, and it perfectly reflects MIHAMA BASE's signature atmosphere of enjoying food and beer together. Whether you want to enjoy a hop-forward beer or drink it with banh mi, this is a day worth stopping by for.
