Saiougauma, a beer pub in Sannomiya, Kobe, has introduced on Instagram how it took part in brewing a collaboration beer at NOMCRAFT BREWING in Aridagun, Wakayama Prefecture.

In the post, the members who attended the brew day shared photos of their time at the brewery and conveyed their thoughts about the collaboration beer. This beer is "Dream Journey / Dream Journey." Its style is a New England IPA, with a finished specification of 6.0% ABV and IBU 36. It is said to feature aromas of passion fruit, berry, grapefruit, and lime, and is designed for a smooth mouthfeel and a moderate bitterness.

On the recipe side, it also drew inspiration from "Sundialer" by the hop-forward British brewery Verdant brewing co., suggesting that the aim was not just a simple collaboration, but the structure of the brewing itself. The brewery says it also incorporated first-time experiments for NOMCRAFT BREWING, including water adjustment, whirlpool temperature ranges, and building layers through boiling hops.

Saiougauma is a Sannomiya beer pub where people can enjoy conversations and discoveries centered on craft beer. Posts that reveal the background of this brew are appealing not only for what is in the glass, but also for drinkers who want to look at the process by which beer comes into being. Once completed, it seems likely to lead to service at the pub and related events as well.
