MugiWhat! hangout is the place where you can see the brewhouse, right? Launching a new can there feels so live!
Hop BroAnd the style is DDH Sour IPA, with 6.0% ABV. It's built to push the tartness and hop aroma right up front.
MugiWhat is DDH anyway? Those letters sound way too intense for me already!
Hop BroIt means double dry hopped, where they add lots of hops after fermentation to turn up the aroma.
MugiWhoa! And with Chardonnay juice and honey, that's basically white-wine vibes in beer form?
Hop BroExactly. Nelson Sauvin, Dolcita, and Mosaic layer with Chardonnay notes, and this year's version builds on last year's hit with honey added before fermentation for a cleaner finish.
MugiIf the acidity is firm but balanced, that sounds super easy to drink even while it's still hot out. Pair that with a burger and I'm done for.
Hop BroCan sales run from 5 to 10 p.m. on September 2, and trade sales start at 3 p.m. on September 3, which already makes me want to chill a can.
MugiI'm finished. Just hearing this makes me want one now, and then I still want another at the pub!
Hangout, located in Hiroshima’s Honkawa area, is TAROS Brewing’s directly operated beer pub. The brewing equipment is visible through the glass, and the venue also stocks a wide selection of domestic and imported bottled beers. With burgers, sandwiches, salads, and other food on offer, it is an easy place to build a beer-focused meal.
In the September 2 post, hangout announced that it would be open from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. that day, and that the new beer would first be released in cans. Wholesale sales for business accounts were scheduled to start at 3:00 p.m. the following day, showing the release was moving forward on both the taproom and distribution sides.
The beer is ISOTONIC2026. It is a DDH Sour IPA at 6.0% ABV, brewed with Nelson Sauvin, Dolcita, and Mosaic hops, plus Chardonnay juice and honey. The post highlights a white-wine-like aroma from the hop and grape character, along with firm acidity and a well-balanced body.
Built on last year’s well-received ISOTONIC, this 2026 version was refined by adding honey before fermentation, resulting in a cleaner finish. With bright acidity and hop aroma leading the profile, it should suit the lingering warm season well. It looks like a beer that works both as a fresh pour at the pub and as a can to take home and enjoy at a slower pace.
