BeerO'clock Bottle Shop adds three Hideji Beer 30th-anniversary collaborations
BeerO'clock Bottle Shop in Chiba has added three collaboration beers marking Hideji Beer’s 30th anniversary. The lineup includes West Coast IPA, TAIYO WEIZEN, and NZ HAZY IPA from B.M.B Brewery, MOJIKO BEER, and NOVORU, with drinks also available on-site.
Hop BroToday’s story is about three Hideji 30th collabs landing at BeerO'clock Bottle Shop in Chiba. The best part is that you can drink them right there.
MugiWait, drink them on-site? A bottle shop that lets you jump straight into the beers feels unfair in the best possible way!
Hop BroAnd the lineup has range. From West Coast to Hazy, Hideji Beer teamed up with B.M.B Brewery, MOJIKO BEER, and NOVORU.
MugiWhat is this, style whiplash in a fridge? That cooler sounds like a tiny craft beer festival!
Hop BroFirst up, B.M.B Brewery × Hideji Beer’s West Coast IPA is 5.5% ABV, with big citrus aromatics plus lime, grapefruit, berry, peach, pine, and even coconut notes.
MugiHold on, defined hop character means what exactly? Are the hops out here contouring their faces now?
Hop BroIt just means the aroma comes through clearly instead of feeling muddy. MOJIKO BEER’s TAIYO WEIZEN is a Hefeweizen-style collab, combining plush yeast aroma with hops inspired by Hideji’s Taiyo no Lager.
MugiOhhh, Hefeweizen is that wheat-beer lane with a soft body and those banana-like yeast notes, right?
Hop BroExactly. NOVORU’s NZ HAZY IPA puts clean haze and fruitiness front and center, with New Zealand hop character and an easy, gentle finish.
MugiI’m sold, flight mode confirmed. One anniversary project with three completely different personalities is dangerously persuasive.
Hop BroIf you’re drinking there, the right move is a three-beer side-by-side. Then you grab your favorite to take home, which is very BeerO'clock Bottle Shop.
MugiNow I just want to head to Chiba immediately. I’ll start with TAIYO WEIZEN, you take the West Coast IPA, and we’ll finish with the NZ HAZY IPA together!
BeerO'clock Bottle Shop in Chiba’s Chuo Ward has brought in three collaboration beers celebrating Hideji Beer’s 30th anniversary. As a bottle shop that also allows customers to drink inside, it offers a place where shoppers can pick up bottles and enjoy a pour on the spot.
The beers on arrival
- `B.M.B Brewery × Hideji Beer` / `West Coast IPA`
5.5% ABV. A straightforward West Coast IPA with citrus, lime, and grapefruit on the nose. Berry, peach, pineapple, and coconut notes are also mentioned, giving it a bright, hop-forward profile with added complexity.
- `MOJIKO BEER × Hideji Beer` / `TAIYO WEIZEN`
5.0% ABV. A first collaboration between brewer Minematsu of Mojiko Retro Beer and Hideji’s Katabe. This hefeweizen combines the hops from Hideji’s signature beer `Taiyo no Lager` with a fuller yeast character and a fresh hop impression.
- `NOVORU × Hideji Beer` / `NZ HAZY IPA`
5.5% ABV. A New Zealand hop-driven hazy IPA built from shared knowledge of NZ hops and hazy brewing technique. The beer is described as having a clean haze, soft fruitiness, and an easy-drinking finish.
BeerO'clock Bottle Shop is the kind of place craft beer drinkers in Chiba can rely on when looking for both retail bottles and a drink-in option. What makes this release interesting is the style range: one hop-forward West Coast IPA, one wheat beer, and one hazy IPA, all tied to Hideji Beer’s anniversary project. It works both as a tasting stop and as a place to take a favorite beer home.
