Hop BroThere’s a tap update from Minamisuna: Octagon Brewing's Hazy IPA just landed as a guest beer at Gahaha Beer.
MugiWhat! A brewpub inside a housing complex getting a super aromatic guest pour? That suddenly feels like an event!
Hop BroGahaha Beer already stands out because of on-site brewing, and their regulars like Baba no Blonde and Mercy IPA have real character.
MugiWhoa, there were already so many tempting beers, and now we get a Hazy IPA challenger too? That is dangerous!
Hop BroHazy IPA often gets its big aroma from dry hopping, where lots of hops are added late to push tropical notes forward.
MugiWait, dry but juicy? My brain says those two words should not be roommates!
Hop BroHere, dry means not overly sweet, while still having a soft, pillowy mouthfeel and a huge burst of aroma.
MugiOhhh, that makes sense! Putting it next to Gahaha’s house beers sounds like a full hop showdown in the best way.
Hop BroAnd the setting matters too: it’s basically a neighborhood brewpub in Minamisuna where dropping by for one feels completely natural.
MugiThat’s too strong a combo. Beer with food in that kind of spot has one-more-glass energy all over it!
Hop BroExactly. Start with Gahaha’s regular lineup, then move into the guest Hazy IPA and let the aroma level jump.
MugiSettled. At this point my whole brain is just I need a pint now.
