GOOD HOPS releases uncountable Pale Ale #2 featuring its own hop variety
GOOD HOPS, the Tono, Iwate brewery focused on hop cultivation and brewing, launched its new beer, uncountable Pale Ale #2, on August 5. The pale ale is brewed with 100% Tono-grown hops and centers on the brewery's own variety, uncountable.
Hop BroA new release worth tracking just landed: GOOD HOPS has launched the pale ale uncountable Pale Ale #2 with a brand-new hop taking center stage.
MugiWait, that name already sounds overpowered! What is Uncountable, exactly? Does it mean they dumped in a wild amount of hops?
Hop BroThat is the fun part. GOOD HOPS in Tono, Iwate handles everything from farming to brewing, and Uncountable is a new hop variety they developed themselves.
MugiWow! But when you say the hop is the star, I immediately picture a hop cone doing center-stage choreography.
Hop BroHonestly, that is not far off. This time they reworked the recipe and increased it, so that soft, gently sweet aroma with layered fruit comes through even more clearly.
MugiWhat a lineup! Alpha Aroma, IBUKI, and Saaz... that is a full hop superhero squad now.
Hop BroHere comes the nerdy bit: Alpha Aroma adds accent, and IBUKI shapes the aroma's outline, which basically means the scent feels focused instead of blurry.
MugiOkay, so it is like giving aroma clean edges! And with 100% Tono-grown hops, plus that fresh sweet-tart character, this sounds perfect for summer.
Hop BroExactly, and GOOD HOPS is serious about passing on Tono's hop culture by keeping farmers, researchers, and brewers working close together. Once I hear that, I want a glass already.
MugiI am thirsty just hearing this! If sales started at 3 PM on August 5, I am heading to the online shop before my self-control disappears.
A new release built around uncountable
GOOD HOPS is a brewery based in Tono, Iwate, where hop cultivation, research, and brewing are closely connected. Its latest release, `uncountable Pale Ale #2`, reflects that approach clearly: a pale ale built around the brewery's own hop variety, `uncountable`, with all hops sourced from Tono. Sales began at 3:00 p.m. on August 5 through the brewery's online shop and its wholesale sales channel.
According to GOOD HOPS, uncountable has a gentle, sweet aroma reminiscent of layered fruits. For this release, the recipe from the original `uncountable Pale Ale` was revised so the hop's character would come through more strongly, and the brewery used it in greater volume. The hop blend also includes `Alpha Aroma` as an accent, `IBUKI` to round out the balance, and `Saaz` to add structure to the aroma.
The beer is described as offering a fresh, sweet-and-tart aroma and flavor. What stands out most is how the brewery uses only Tono-grown hops to express one of its own newly developed varieties.
GOOD HOPS also positions itself as part of the effort to sustain Japan's hop-growing future in Tono. With growers, researchers, and brewers working in close contact, this release is not just a new beer, but another example of how the region's hop culture is being developed and carried forward.
