Hop BroFour new arrivals have landed at 444 BEYOND in Higashimizue. They came from NOMCRAFT Brewing in Wakayama, and there are IPAs, a pilsner, and a banana weizen, so it is a lineup that really invites side-by-side tasting.
MugiWhoa, all four are full of personality! This is the kind of lineup that makes you want to drink them in order from the first glass, and now I cannot choose at all.
Hop BroFirst up is the IPA Moonbow Sheep. With ABV 6.5% and IBU 55, it is the kind of beer where the citrusy hop aroma really stands out, so hop lovers will probably reach for it first.
MugiWhat is IBU?! I have heard it is a measure of bitterness, but does a higher number mean it is better?
Hop BroNot better, just a bitterness indicator. With a number like Moonbow Sheep's, you can predict before tasting it that the hops are going to come at you hard.
MugiI see! So what kind of beer is Octopus King? The name already sounds strong!
Hop BroThis is a Dip Hop IPA with ABV 7.0% and IBU 51. The Dip Hop method really draws out the hop flavor, giving it a dense aroma and a forceful presence.
MugiJust from the name, I thought the hops might get thrown into a bath or something! Dense flavor sounds kind of intriguing.
Hop BroIf you want a change of pace, Banana Kick is the one. It is a Banana Weizen with ABV 5.5% and IBU 10, and it has the sweetness of fully ripe bananas, so it drinks soft and easy.
MugiWow, just hearing 'the sweetness of fully ripe bananas' is soothing... It sounds like the one for a laid-back day, not a day for fighting.
Hop BroTo finish, there is Bear Down. It is a West Coast Pilsner with white grape, citrus, and pine aromas, plus a sharp, crisp finish, and it seems like it would pair well with food.
MugiRight, if it pairs well with food, then you can enjoy it from start to finish! March 27, Friday, from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. is definitely a night we should go drink together.
At the craft beer stand 444 BEYOND in Higashimizue, Edogawa Ward, Tokyo, a new guest beer lineup has arrived from Wakayama's NOMCRAFT Brewing. This release features four beers with clearly different flavor profiles. For beer fans, it is the kind of lineup that makes you want to work your way through them from the first pour.

For IPA fans, Moonbow Sheep and Octopus King are the ones to watch. The former offers a hop-forward profile rich in citrus aroma, while the latter stands out for its dense flavor brought out through the Dip Hop method. Banana Kick, meanwhile, offers gentle sweetness and easy drinkability, making it a good choice for a relaxed day. Bear Down delivers the clear, clean drinking quality of a pilsner with the sharp edge typical of the West Coast style, so it should pair well with food as well.
