Hop BroTachikawa just got interesting: Sakamichi Brewing brought in six Paperback beers from Glendale, California.
MugiSix at once? That taproom lineup sounds like a beer amusement park!
Hop BroAnd the spread is smart, with Italian pilsner to DIPA so both easy drinkers and hop chasers are covered.
MugiWait, what are DDH and TDH? That sounds less like beer and more like a Wi-Fi password!
Hop BroNothing scary, it basically means extra dry hopping. More hops go in after fermentation, so the aroma hits much harder.
MugiOkay, so Baby Bunny with a Chainsaw is not just chaotic bunny energy. It's also a full-on aroma attack!
Hop BroExactly. Capiche? has a herbal hoppy finish, and Baby Bunny leads with citrus, melon, and tropical fruit.
MugiCute names, serious business. So what's the collab angle on Diamond in the Rough?
Hop BroThat one was brewed with Simi Valley Brewing, and the pineapple plus stone fruit combo makes it a juicy standout.
MugiAnd with Paperback IPA and Breaking Balls there too, you're saying we can do a West Coast side-by-side?
Hop BroAbsolutely. Paperback IPA is the Mosaic-only flagship West Coast IPA, Breaking Balls is crisp and dry, and Bunny with a Chainsaw brings 8.2% body for the finale.
MugiSakamichi Brewing making its own beer and importing gems like this is unfairly strong. I officially need a Tachikawa tap crawl tonight!
