CRAFT BANK, based in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto, has released BAGMAN IPA. The 6% JUICY IPA uses oats and wheat for a soft mouthfeel, with Strata, Krush, Superdelic, HBC 630, and EKG adding tropical fruit and peach-like aromas.
Hop BroThere’s one beer I really want to talk about today: BAGMAN IPA from Craft Bank in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto.
MugiWhat! That name sounds intense! So this new Craft Bank release is what kind of beer?
Hop BroIt’s a JUICY IPA style beer, built with oats and wheat for a soft, pillowy mouthfeel.
MugiWhoa, oats and wheat? Oats and wheat makes me think bakery, not beer!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. In the wort, they help create a smoother texture, basically a soft-bodied finish behind the scenes.
MugiSo they’re like little cushions for your sip! And it smells like tropical fruit and peach too? That escalated fast!
Hop BroExactly. With Strata, Krush, Superdelic, HBC 630, and EKG, it’s basically a five-hop lineup stacking aroma while keeping bitterness low.
MugiHold on, Strata and Krush sound more like wrestling moves than ingredients!
Hop BroThey’re hop varieties. Put simply, they’re the aroma all-stars building layers of bright aroma in the glass.
MugiAnd it’s 6% ABV with a light finish, plus 350ml for 700 yen? That sounds like one-more-can energy to me!
Hop BroEven the name BAGMAN matches the concept, like it’s carrying a guilty amount of hops. This is a can to crack now for sure.
MugiThen it’s settled. A local Kyoto brewery making something this drinkable and aromatic means cheers with BAGMAN IPA needs to happen tonight!
CRAFT BANK, the brewery based in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto, has introduced BAGMAN IPA at a price of 700 yen. The product is positioned as a JUICY IPA built around expressive hop aroma, a smooth texture, and a light finish.
The beer leans on oats and wheat to create a soft mouthfeel. Its style is JUICY IPA, with an alcohol content of 6%. The hop lineup includes Strata, Krush, Superdelic, HBC 630, and EKG, layered to emphasize tropical fruit and peach-like aromatics while keeping bitterness in check.
Another clear point in the product description is balance. The beer keeps some sweetness and body, but does not let them become heavy, finishing crisp and easy to drink. That makes it the kind of IPA that should appeal to fans who want aroma intensity without a dense aftertaste.
The name BAGMAN refers to someone who carries and collects illicit money, and the brewery uses that idea as a playful concept for a beer packed with hops. In other words, this is a Kyoto craft beer release that aims to combine aromatic depth with drinkability in a distinctly CRAFT BANK style. As a single-serve 350ml item, it also fits naturally into mixed-pack purchases for drinkers who want to try it on its own.
