Hop BroToday’s topic is the two new arrivals at Nomimono-ya in Busshozan, Takamatsu. Tsugaru Brewing’s Tsugaru Lager and Tsugaru IPA just landed, and that side-by-side lineup is hard to resist.
MugiWhat! The Aomori duo made it all the way to Kagawa? That is some serious beer travel power!
Hop BroFirst up, Tsugaru Lager is a rice lager from Aomori with ABV 5.0% and IBU 19. It has a dry, smooth finish, so it works perfectly as your first glass.
MugiHold on, a rice lager? What even is that? Is there a tiny rice ball holding a board meeting inside the glass?
Hop BroNo rice ball meeting, but using rice can give it a clean, crisp finish. In plain terms, it means an easy-drinking lager that goes really well with food.
MugiOkay, got it. Then for the IPA, what makes IBU 44 such a big deal?
Hop BroIBU is basically a bitterness scale. Tsugaru IPA uses five hops, Warrior, Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, Idaho 7, and Strata, so it balances bright aroma with a firm bitter kick.
MugiFive kinds? That sounds like a hop superhero squad. And it also has wheat and local rice? This glass is carrying a lot of plot!
Hop BroThat’s the clever part, though. It’s built with a not-too-heavy finish. You start light with the lager, then step into aroma and bitterness with the IPA, and now I want both.
MugiNow I seriously want to head straight there. Tsugaru Lager first, Tsugaru IPA after that, and my drinking plan for today is officially locked.
