Hop BroToday’s topic is 7th Revolution Sour IPA on tap at Saiougauma in Kobe’s Sannomiya, a seventh-anniversary beer from NOMCRAFT BREWING.
MugiWait, that name already sounds intense! 7th anniversary Sour IPA means celebration... but sour?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s a Sour IPA, 6.0% ABV with 25 IBU, so you get bright acidity and real hop character together.
MugiHold on, what do you mean by real hop character? Is this not just a lemon-face beer?
Hop BroNo lemon-face emergency here. With Mosaic, Motueka, Citra, and Galaxy, that four-hop lineup pushes out tropical aromas.
MugiA four-hop lineup sounds like a boy band! But Philly Sour? That sounds like a detective from an American cop show!
Hop BroIt’s a yeast strain. Paired with English ale yeast, it helps build soft, fruity acidity. In plain terms, it makes the tartness feel refreshing instead of harsh.
MugiOhh! And it has Kiyomi orange and Kawachi Bankan too? That’s a full citrus combo. My mouth is already on summer vacation.
Hop BroAnd those citrus fruits came from a grower in Aridagawa with long ties to the brewery, so there’s a story in the glass as well. Brewer Junya really nailed it.
MugiSaiougauma keeps pouring guest beers with actual backstory, and that’s unfair! I want to run to Sannomiya and beat you to the first sip!
Hop BroI’d rather prevent that, but same conclusion here. With fruit, acidity, and hops all lined up, this is perfect for the season. Let’s go drink it slowly.

The post also notes that the fruit came from Ozawa, a producer in Aridagawa, Wakayama, reflecting the brewery's long-running connections with local growers and suppliers. The brewer describes it as a refreshing Sour IPA suited to the coming season, with a side aroma that leans toward tropical fruit.
