Hop BroInage Ward in Chiba City's Inabiya Chiba Inage Beer has switched its guest tap to a Baird IPA. This one is pretty robust, and it's great news for IPA fans.
MugiWait, just changing the guest beer makes it that big a deal? Is Baird Beer really that impressive?
Hop BroIt is. Baird has been around since the early days of Japanese craft beer, and this time Suruga Bay Imperial IPA is on tap. Being able to drink a historic IPA is a big deal.
MugiImperial IPA? That name alone sounds intoxicating! Is high-ABV really that strong?
Hop BroBroadly speaking, it's an IPA with a higher alcohol content, and this one is 8.5%. The bitterness, aroma, and body are all strong, so it's less about easy drinking and more about taking your time with it.
MugiWow, just imagining it already packs a punch! But when I hear Double IPA, it feels a little intimidating and kind of tempting too.
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. A Double IPA uses more hops to push up the bitterness and aroma. In other words, it's like a three-part hop ensemble, where you can enjoy not just the aroma but also a sharply defined drinking profile.
MugiA trio? It suddenly sounds like a concert! So by classic bitterness, you mean it's different from today's juicy styles, right?
Hop BroExactly. Unlike the aroma-forward beers that are popular these days, this one is cleanly bitter and has real heft. That kind of well-defined drinking profile is something IPA fans will love.
MugiI like that Inabiya isn't just about its own beer but also lets you enjoy guest beers too! It really feels like the appeal of a brewpub.
Hop BroExactly. You get to enjoy both house brews and guest beers, and this time you can meet an IPA that's practically a foundational beer in Japanese craft. That's reason enough to go drink.
MugiAll right, decision made! I'm in the mood to go drink an IPA now, and ending the night with bitterness sounds amazing!
