HOP MAN, a beer pub in Chigasaki, Kanagawa, has announced the tapping of Passific Brewing’s Permit.

Permit is a pale ale that Passific Brewing aims to brew regularly during the month when its brewing license was granted. As one of the brewery’s first-batch beers, it represents both a return to its roots and an opportunity to reassess its current brewing approach.

For this edition, the brewery renewed its malt blend, following the same reasoning behind Passific IPA. With the current blend reaching what the brewery describes as a strong balance, the beer retains the classic balance expected of a pale ale while offering improved hop-aroma lift.

The profile centers on citrus-like hop aroma and bitterness, supported by a firm malt character. Neither side dominates, allowing the elements to remain balanced and restrained. Passific Brewing describes Permit as a beer that captures the essential character of a pale ale without excessive emphasis on any single component.

Located on the second floor of Sunreiz Shonan in Chigasaki, HOP MAN is a beer pub specializing in a varied selection of craft beer. Permit offers a focused combination of citrus hop character, moderate bitterness, and supportive malt flavor for guests looking for a balanced pale ale.
