GROW BREW HOUSE in Nishikawaguchi brings back the Hazy IPA “Heiji”

Hop BroThings just got good in Nishikawaguchi: Hazy IPA Heiji is finally back on tap at GROW BREW HOUSE.
MugiWait, that is huge! A long-awaited return sounds exactly like the kind of news that makes regulars start pacing.
Hop BroExactly. GROW BREW HOUSE is known for its brewery-connected taproom, so you can drink their house beer almost right where it was made.
MugiA brewery pub? And almost right where it was made means what, the beer sprints to your table by itself?
Hop BroNot that fast, but close. A brewpub is a place that makes its own beer and serves it on site, so the brewer and drinker feel way closer.
MugiOoh, nice. And the article says small-batch, many styles. That sounds like a menu meeting turned into a festival.
Hop BroThat is pretty much the vibe. Small-batch, many styles means brewing lots of different beers in modest volumes, which makes it easier to keep refining a Hazy IPA like Heiji.
MugiGot it! And if the head brewer used to be a chef, then food made for the beer has to be a big part of the appeal too, right?
Hop BroThat is one of the best parts. With weekend kitchen takeovers and a relaxed bring-your-own-food setup, there are even more reasons to grab a pint in Nishikawaguchi.
MugiThat settles it. I want to toast with Heiji the minute we get there, and you can stand next to me and do your beer-geek commentary.
Beer Release
The Instagram post confirms the return of Heiji, a Hazy IPA, after a long pause. The caption says that “Heiji,” the Hazy IPA, is being released again, which shows that one of GROW BREW HOUSE’s self-brewed flagship beers is back on tap. A blog post from May also described Heiji as one of the brewery’s Hazy IPAs and noted ongoing recipe adjustments, suggesting that the beer has been refined through repeated trial and error.
