CHROA’s RUBY Arrives at Yumebeer Ota Brewery / Daniel House
Yumebeer Ota Brewery / Daniel House, a brewpub in Ota, Gunma, has started serving CHROA’s new beer RUBY. The crimson ale uses locally grown beets and is described as fruity, dry, and built around pilsner malt.
Hop BroI’ve been wanting to talk about a new beer in Ota, Gunma. Yumemugishu Ota Brewery / Daniel House has started pouring CHROA’s new beer, 'RUBY.'
MugiWhat! CHROA’s RUBY already sounds dramatic. What kind of beer is it?
Hop Bro'RUBY' is a crimson ale made with locally grown beets from Ota. It’s showing up as a guest beer at Daniel House.
MugiNo way! Beer with beets? That sounds like a salad walked into a taproom. I need details.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It pours ruby-red, carries a gentle sweetness from the beets, and builds on the rich base of Pilsner malt. So it lands fruity and dry instead of heavy.
MugiHold on, Pilsner malt just sounded very professor-like. What does that actually mean when you drink it?
Hop BroBasically, it’s the malt that forms the beer’s foundation. Here it gives a clean, rounded grain flavor, and the bitterness stays smooth. At IBU 22, it’s not aggressively bitter at all.
MugiOhhh! And 5.0% ABV sounds super approachable too. That feels perfect for drinking with food at a brewpub.
Hop BroExactly. It uses Tradition and Galaxy hops, plus beet powder as an adjunct, and it launched on June 6, 2026. It’s not just pretty, it’s a seriously well-built red ale.
MugiI’m already sold. That ruby-colored pint sounds like the kind of beer you spot once and immediately order.
Hop BroAnd at a place like Daniel House, with house beer and pub food around it, this guest pour really makes sense. I’m fully in a cheers with RUBY mood now.
MugiSame here. I want to taste that soft beet sweetness and dry finish for myself. My stomach and my throat are both in take me to Ota mode already!
