According to information released by Beppu Brewery, a Cold IPA called "Like a Tiger with Wings" has been introduced as a collaboration beer with the beer bar "esperanza" in Fukuoka Prefecture. On brew day, not only esperanza but also Saga's "GAME BREW" visited and the three brewed together.

What stands out in this recipe is its focus on thiols, compounds known for contributing aroma. The description says it layers a fresh aroma reminiscent of muscat and white grapes with citrus notes like grapefruit. On the palate, it is clean and light. While delivering a juicy fruit character, it is designed to finish dry, aiming for the easy-drinking appeal typical of a Cold IPA. Alcohol content is 7.0%.

Beppu Brewery is a brewery and restaurant based near Beppu Station in Oita, built around the concept of "after the bath." Drawing on the context of Beppu, a hot spring town, it has offered beers that appeal to both tourists and local customers. Collaborations like this one with an out-of-prefecture beer bar are also noteworthy as they broaden craft beer connections across regions.

A design that balances aroma and drinkability while emphasizing style character is likely to appeal not only to IPA fans who prioritize hop aroma, but also to those who want a light, pleasantly bitter beer to enjoy with food. This collaboration, in which players from Kyushu come together around a single tank, can be seen as a release that reflects the current state of the local craft beer scene.
