Five Guest Beers from Mizonokuchi Brewery Arrive at SIBLINGS in Kikuna, Yokohama
Five guest beers from Mizonokuchi Brewery have arrived at SIBLINGS, a beer pub in Kikuna, Yokohama. The lineup ranges from a special 4th anniversary IPA to a low-ABV Session Hazy and a beer inspired by the local Takatsu area, offering a variety of distinct styles.
Hop BroAt SIBLINGS in Kikuna, Yokohama, five beers from Mizonokuchi Brewery have arrived. From a special 4th anniversary edition to low-ABV options and a beer with a local feel, it's a lineup with a pretty wide range, which makes it interesting.
MugiWhoa! Five beers all at once? It already sounds fun before even choosing, but now I don't know which one to drink first!
Hop BroIf you're going to start somewhere, Dusk[19:01] is the one to note. It's the 4th anniversary special edition: an American IPA at ABV 8% with a solid bitterness from its IBU 74.8, but the umami keeps it from feeling too sharp.
MugiIBU, what's that! Does it mean a measure of bitterness? The higher the number, the more bitter and crisp it gets?
Hop BroExactly, IBU is an indicator of bitterness. Dawn[04:59] is a Session Hazy IPA: a light new release at ABV 3% that uses yeast and hops the brewery hadn't used before, so it goes down as smoothly as morning air but still has plenty of aroma to enjoy.
MugiOh wow! Hazy at 3% sounds really easygoing. It seems perfect for after a walk, or as the start of a casual drinking session!
Hop BroThen there's TAKATSU ENTRY, a DDH Hazy IPA. DDH stands for double dry hop, a method of adding plenty of hops after fermentation rather than before or during heating to build aroma, and this one is a more approachable remake of a beer brewed with local people for the 3rd anniversary.
MugiSeriously! Brewed with the local community sounds so heartfelt, and the aroma seems like it would be bold too! But is double dry hopping basically like putting in twice the hops?
Hop BroThe idea is close, but it's less about doubling the amount and more about layering the aroma twice. And Nokuchi Beers Nokuchi IPA is a classic American IPA, with citrus and pine aromas layered over firm bitterness and rich malt character.
MugiThe classics are reassuring! Just hearing citrus and pine aromas makes me feel like the beer is already in my mouth!
Hop BroThe last one, Nokuchi Beers Pale Ale, is known for its gentle drinkability, with a crisp finish layered with bright citrus flavors. At SIBLINGS, takeout is 200 yen off, so it's easy to compare them in the shop and keep enjoying the rest at home.
MugiThat's the best! If I can compare them on site and then take some home, then today's settled. I'll start light with Dawn and finish strong with Dusk!
