Hop BroThis one is seriously exciting. Derailleur Brew Works in Osaka's Nishinari is releasing a six-bottle award set on its official online store.
MugiWhat! That sounds like a reward box! You mean beers recognized at the World Beer Awards 2026 all in one go?
Hop BroExactly. The set has 2 WC IPAs, 2 Hazy IPAs, and 2 Citrus Sour Ales, so it's a great side-by-side lineup.
MugiNo way! But hold on, what is WC IPA? It looks like a bathroom abbreviation and suddenly I'm not thinking about beer anymore!
Hop BroI knew you'd go there. WC means West Coast, and it's an IPA with clean, snappy bitterness and bright hop aroma. This one even won the world's top honor.
MugiThat is absurdly powerful! Then what about Hazy IPA? If it says Milkshake IPA category, it sounds like dessert menu territory!
Hop BroThe name sounds sweet, but it's basically a category for hazy, juicy styles. Hazy IPA is all about soft texture and fruity character.
MugiGot it! So Citrus Sour Ale is the tangy fun one? And it took silver in the Fruit & Vegetable category, which makes me even more curious.
Hop BroExactly. The citrus note gives it a crisp finish, so comparing all three styles makes this a snapshot of the brewery right now. And it's only available through September 30.
MugiThen we need to move fast. I want to drink this tonight already, and now I'm stuck deciding whether to start with WC IPA or melt into the Hazy IPA first!
