Teenage Brewing Releases DDH DIPA "Two-Tone" in Collaboration with Totopia Brewery
Teenage Brewing, based in Tokigawa Town, Saitama Prefecture, has unveiled its collaboration beer "Two-Tone" with Totopia Brewery in Nagakute City, Aichi Prefecture. Brewed with a double mash, this 9.0% ABV DDH DIPA is characterized by hop-driven citrus and stone fruit aromas.
Hop BroToday, Teenage Brewing's new release, Two-Tone, has arrived. It's a collaboration with Totopia Brewery in Aichi, and it's a bold DDH DIPA, too.
MugiWhoa! Just the words DDH DIPA already sound strong! And with 9.0% ABV, it sounds like it would hit you like the final act of a music festival.
Hop BroThat's the appeal. It's brewed with a double mash, using the malt in two separate additions, so the body is thick and the beer has real presence.
MugiWait, wait! Mashing twice sounds like kneading bread dough again. What exactly does that change in the beer?
Hop BroBasically, it's a technique for drawing out more sugars and creating a richer mouthfeel. So you get a rich beer with the hops taking center stage, which is almost unfair.
MugiI see! And the hops are luxurious too, with the whole Nelson Sauvin crew plus Citra Dynaboost! It feels like a wine tasting and a fruit shop are being held at the same time just from the names alone!
Hop BroNice description. With Freestyle Nelson Sauvin, Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, Rakau, and Citra Dynaboost, the citrus and stone fruit come forward strongly. You can almost imagine how the aroma opens up.
MugiThat sounds delicious before even drinking it! And Teenage Brewing also has that connection to music, right? Putting the label and name together like that shows serious commitment!
Hop BroExactly. This time too, they worked closely with Totopia Brewery, and the counterpart beer Tonephilia is also being released. It's a DDH Hazy DIPA, so a side-by-side tasting sounds incredibly fun.
MugiWow, two expressions from the same collaboration is amazing! Then I'm the one who'll line up Two-Tone and Tonephilia and seriously compare their aromas!
Hop BroThat's settled then. Teenage Brewing's 9.0% DIPA is something I want to take my time with tonight, and with the Totopia version alongside it, it's even more tempting to drink.
Teenage Brewing has released the collaboration beer "Two-Tone" with Totopia Brewery, based in Nagakute City, Aichi Prefecture. The style is DDH DIPA, and the alcohol content is 9.0%. It is one of two collaboration beers brewed by both breweries, and this one appears as the Teenage side's creation.
What sets this beer apart is its double mash, in which the malt is added in two stages. The design aims for high gravity and a rich mouthfeel, giving the beer a full body while pushing the hop aroma to the forefront. The hops used are Freestyle Nelson Sauvin, Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, Rakau, and Citra Dynaboost. The result is a beer with aromas reminiscent of citrus and stone fruit.
Teenage Brewing is a brewery with its own brewhouse in Tokigawa Town, Hiki District, Saitama Prefecture. While emphasizing its affinity with music, it offers a wide range of beers, from IPAs and sours to collaboration brews. In this "Two-Tone," the brewery says the beer was shaped not only through the recipe, but also through discussions on label design and naming, showing the level of attention to detail that defines the brand.
From the Totopia Brewery side, a counterpart beer titled "Tonephilia" will also be released as a DDH Hazy DIPA. Tasting both side by side should make it possible to enjoy the differences in expression born from the same collaboration.
