Hop BroTachihi Beer Brewery has released the second collaboration with Isana Brewing in Akishima. It's called 'Laundry Gate,' and making it seasonal is a nice touch.
MugiWait, Laundry Gate!? That sounds like a beer spinning around inside a washing machine. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThat's the fun part: it's a session IPA. It keeps the hop presence you want from an IPA while staying easy to drink.
MugiSo it's an easy-drinking IPA. But isn't IPA usually associated with strong bitterness?
Hop BroExactly. And this one has a light 4.5% ABV, plus a light-yellow appearance and grapefruit-like aroma, so it goes down smoothly without feeling thin.
MugiWhoa, that sounds like something you'd want to drink even in the middle of the day! But there are so many hop names that my brain is starting to foam up...
Hop BroThe malt bill uses Pilsen, Mariss Otter, Wheat, Pale, and Sour, and the hops are a multilayered blend. They went with Chinook and Cascade, then added Azacca, Galaxy, Mosaic, Citra, Cryosimcoe, and Cryositra, so the aroma has a lot of depth.
MugiWhoa, isn't that a total hop traffic jam!? It sounds like a festival is happening in my mouth!
Hop BroBut it's not just piled on for the sake of it. What makes Tachihi Beer Brewery feel like Tachihi Beer Brewery is how it carefully shapes both the bitterness and the aroma. You can really feel its spirit of craftsmanship in the glass.
MugiAnd Tachihi Beer Brewery has a TAPROOM in Tachikawa where you can drink it fresh, right? That's a pretty strong reason to go there in person!
Hop BroExactly. It feels like the connection between Tachikawa and Akishima has been turned directly into beer, and this should really hit the spot on a hot day. This is definitely the kind of beer that makes you want to raise a glass right now.
MugiYeah, my throat is already fully in session IPA standby! I want a pint soon, whether it's in Tachikawa or Akishima!

The recipe appears designed to balance a vivid aromatic profile with a clear, defined bitterness.
