THIS BREWING to serve its 3rd-anniversary Anniversary Ale from tomorrow
THIS BREWING will start pouring its anniversary beer for the brewery’s 3rd year from tomorrow. The ale uses kuki sencha from Ippodo Tea, combining tea-driven freshness with hop aromatics, and a tasting session is also planned for July 18.
Hop BroTHIS BREWING in Yushima is pouring its 3rd Anniversary Ale starting tomorrow. It is an anniversary beer, but built with summer drinking in mind, and that really caught my eye.
MugiWait, tea in beer? That sounds like a teahouse and a taproom just decided to become best friends!
Hop BroThat is the fun part. They are using Ippodo Tea's kuki sencha, a stem green tea that brings its own aroma and a gentle hint of sweetness.
MugiWhoa, hop aroma plus a tea finish is a lot to process! Is my tongue even qualified for this?
Hop BroYou will be fine. Think of it as a floral hop aroma up front, then a clean tea-like note that lingers after each sip.
MugiWhat is that, it sounds perfect for summer! Easy to drink, but still doing something playful with aroma.
Hop BroThe style is literally Anniversary Ale, but the smart part is the balance. It is not just loud and flashy; it is meant to feel good even in the heat.
MugiAnd that July 18 tasting event sounds dangerous for my schedule. Can you really taste the tea itself too?
Hop BroThat is the plan. At THIS BREWING, you can compare the ingredient and the beer side by side with Ippodo's kuki sencha, which makes the anniversary idea even better.
MugiOkay, that settles it, detour to Yushima is officially happening! I love the idea of just dropping in and enjoying that day's one special pint.
Hop BroThat fits their THIS means here-and-now concept, and they keep changing recipes too. This limited anniversary pour really feels like something you want to drink on-site.
MugiThen tomorrow, let us go test kuki sencha and hops for ourselves! I am completely ready to drink this now.
THIS BREWING is set to serve its Anniversary Ale from tomorrow. In the post, the brewery identifies it as a 3rd Anniversary Ale made with kuki sencha from Ippodo Tea. The beer is described as bringing together the distinctive aroma and gentle sweetness of kuki sencha with hop-driven floral notes and a clean tea-like finish.
The beer appears to be designed as a seasonal anniversary release that is aromatic without being heavy, making it especially appealing in warmer weather. The brewery also announced a tasting session on Saturday, July 18, where Ippodo Tea will present the kuki sencha used in the beer. That adds a direct bridge between the beer and its ingredient, giving the anniversary project a broader experience beyond the pour itself.
THIS BREWING operates as a Brewery & Taproom in Ueno, Tokyo, and its official site describes its approach as brewing for the moment, or "THIS = here and now." Recipes change from batch to batch so each beer reflects the time and place in which it is made. In that context, the anniversary ale fits neatly into the brewery’s identity: a limited beer meant to be enjoyed on site, at the right moment.
