Mihama Base Makuhari launches 4th anniversary event with West Coast Brewing on tap
WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Makuhari has launched its 4th anniversary event from August 21 to 23. The opening-day feature is West Coast Brewing’s Full Hop Alchemist r9, alongside a raffle, limited-edition food, and a bring-your-own-food policy on the final day.
Hop BroI want to talk about MIHAMA BASE's 4th anniversary today. WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Makuhari is running a three-day celebration from August 21 to August 23.
MugiWhat, really? Three days only already makes my calendar nervous!
Hop BroAnd the opening-day headliner is West Coast Brewing's Full Hop Alchemist r9. It's a hazy double IPA with extra dry hopping, and this new batch pushes the tropical aroma forward.
MugiWait, what is extra dry hopping supposed to mean? That sounds like the hops signed up for a training camp!
Hop BroHere's the simple version: dry hopping means adding hops after fermentation for aroma, and more of it brings out big tropical fruit notes. It's more about boosting fragrance than cranking up bitterness.
MugiOhhh, so it's loud on aroma, but that smooth rich body keeps it all together?
Hop BroExactly. It still has the weight you'd expect from a hazy double IPA, but this batch rounds off the edges, so it drinks dangerously smoothly.
MugiDo not casually recommend something dangerously smooth with that much confidence! But a raffle for every beer sounds like a very bad idea for my self-control.
Hop BroThe anniversary extras are strong too, with limited event food on hand. And on the final day you can even bring your own food, which is a pretty fun move.
MugiThat is wildly flexible! And with everything from HEARTLAND to WCB to Unsung, the tap list range is so wide I might spend my first beer just choosing.
Hop BroThen we keep it simple and start with Full Hop Alchemist r9 first. This is the perfect moment to drink in the whole fourth-anniversary atmosphere.
MugiDone. I want that tropical aroma, a glass in hand, and anniversary food on the side right now. This article made me instantly thirsty.
