Yotei Brewing to release limited IPAs RVRRN and FLDDY on August 10
Yotei Brewing, based in Niseko, Hokkaido, will release two limited-edition IPAs, RVRRN and FLDDY, on August 10. The brewery will also appear at the Sapporo Odori Beer Garden’s World Beer Plaza and roll the beers out at select craft beer shops in Sapporo and Asahikawa.
Hop BroI need to tell you about Yotei Brewing's double IPA drop. On August 10, RVRRN and FLDDY launch together, and they're also showing up at the Odori Beer Garden.
MugiWait, a same-day release means I can compare two totally different vibes side by side?
Hop BroRVRRN is an IPA at 6.0% ABV, brewed with Triumph hops. It gives off orange-candy aromatics, drinks clean, and finishes with a pleasant bitterness.
MugiHold on, what is Triumph? That sounds like a special move, not something you drink.
Hop BroIt's a hop variety. Basically, the aroma lead in the beer. Here it brings bright citrus character and a crisp finish.
MugiOkay, then what about FLDDY? The words Hazy IPA already sound deliciously cloudy.
Hop BroFLDDY is Hazy IPA at 6.0%, using McKenzie and BRU-1. Expect white peach and ripe pineapple aromatics, grapefruit on the finish, and a juicy mouthfeel.
MugiWhat even is that? White peach and pineapple sounds like a dessert counter, and it's still beer?
Hop BroAnd starting August 10, there's an Odori Beer Garden pour at World Beer Square in Odori Nishi 10-chome, with draft service on August 10-12 and 17-18.
MugiDrinking IPA outside sounds dangerously perfect. But what does draft mean? My throat is already leaning forward.
Hop BroIt means beer served from a keg, so you're chasing the freshest possible pour. It also hits three specialty shops in Sapporo and Asahikawa, and 350ml cans are 768 yen at FULLMARKS Sapporo, the Niseko roadside station, and the online shop.
MugiThe words limited quantity flip a switch in me. Before they sell out, I want the crisp RVRRN and the juicy FLDDY. Fine, I'm drinking both.
