MugiWhat? Two IPAs at once? I already want one in each hand for a side-by-side tasting!
Hop BroFirst up is West Coast Brewing from Shizuoka: Full Hop Alchemist r11, an 8.5% hazy double IPA with a full, juicy body.
MugiA hazy double IPA sounds intense! What does hazy mean? Do you drink it like fog?
Hop BroHazy means it looks cloudy and highlights juicy hop aromas. You are not drinking fog—you are drinking ripe, fruit-like hop character.
Hop BroKrush, Nectaron, Mosaic, and El Dorado CGX layer stone fruit and orange with strawberry and melon notes. It is a hop traffic jam that somehow stays delicious.
MugiA delicious traffic jam? If it smells like a whole fruit market, I might forget that it is 8.5%—dangerous!
Hop BroThe other new pour is California brewery Unsung's METAPLEX IPA. At 6.5%, it is a single-hop IPA made entirely with Mosaic.
MugiNo way! What is single-hop? Is it like one hop doing a solo concert?
Hop BroExactly. Mosaic alone brings pineapple, floral, papaya, and citrus character, while the beer is balanced as an IPA for food.
MugiA rich fruity Full Hop Alchemist r11 and a food-friendly METAPLEX IPA—our tasting flight plan is officially ready!
Hop BroMIHAMA BASE also has its 11th-anniversary event ahead, with a commemorative beer and party plans. It really makes me want to toast in Inage Kaigan.
MugiYes! Let’s chase the personalities of both beers in that warm bar. One of each first—let’s go toast!
Two new taps in Inagekaigan
WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE, a craft beer-focused brewery and dining spot in Inagekaigan, Chiba, is serving two newly tapped beers. Despite the cold, rainy Monday, the venue welcomes guests with a warm and comfortable interior.
The first new pour is West Coast Brewing’s Full Hop Alchemist r11 from Shizuoka. This 8.5% Hazy Double IPA is full-bodied and juicy. Krush, Nectaron, Mosaic, and El Dorado CGX hops contribute expressive aromas of ripe stone fruit and orange, with softer notes of strawberry and melon. Its rich sweetness and hop-forward character make it a beer to sip slowly.
The second is Unsung’s METAPLEX IPA from California. Brewed exclusively with Mosaic hops, this 6.5% IPA opens with pineapple-like aromas before developing floral, papaya, and citrus notes. Its balanced profile is designed to complement food rather than overpower it.
A varied tap list and anniversary plans
The current draft selection also includes Guinness, Kirin Heartland, Hoegaarden White, Karl Strauss Mosaic Session IPA, and Coronado Mermaid’s Red Amber Ale. Guests can compare everything from a light session IPA to a richer amber ale.
