Hop BroAt Chigasaki's beer pub HOP MAN, WEST COAST BREWING's Game Night just became the new tap headline.
MugiWait, Game Night is the beer name? That's way too inviting and now I want a pint already!
Hop BroAnd this is a Kyoto Brewing collab, built as a West Coast Double IPA.
MugiOkay, but what makes it double? The name alone sounds strong enough to wobble me.
Hop BroUsually it means a bigger hop punch and more body, and this one sits at 7.5% ABV with that 7.5% heft.
Mugi7.5%! And the post said 'dank' too, which is intense vocabulary for a casual drink!
Hop BroDank here means deep hop aroma, kind of resinous and green, so think fresh resinous hop character rather than anything scary.
MugiStrata CGX, Strata, Luminosa, Idaho 7... that's anime special-move energy, and they dry-hopped it three times?
Hop BroExactly, and that three-stage dry hop builds layered aroma structure with fresh-picked hop notes, passion fruit, woody tones, and floral nuance.
MugiSo it finishes with real bitterness too? That's grown-up balance instead of just sweet tropical juice.
Hop BroAt a place like HOP MAN, where the taps keep rotating, a beer like this makes me think I need that pint before it's gone.
MugiSame, get me to that second-floor pub because I want this now.
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Chigasaki, Kanagawa, announced a new tap in an Instagram post on August 20. The beer added to the lineup is WEST COAST BREWING's "Game Night". It is a West Coast Double IPA brewed as a collaboration with Kyoto Brewing, and it comes in at 7.5% ABV. As a second-floor beer pub with a rotating draft lineup, HOP MAN adds another clearly distinctive beer to its taps.
The post says the beer was designed to emphasize hop-driven "dank" character. Strata CGX, Strata, Luminosa, and Idaho7 were selected, with dry hopping carried out in three separate additions. The aroma is described as fresh and green, like newly harvested hops, followed by tropical fruit notes reminiscent of passion fruit, along with woody and floral nuances. A pleasant bitterness rounds out the finish, making the beer both expressive and balanced.
