Hop BroIkebukuro has a dangerous temptation right now: Beer Pub Camden East Exit just tapped Gaiaphilia on draft.
MugiWhat! Even the name sounds intense. That Gaiaphilia name makes me curious already. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Totopia Brewery and West Coast Brewing collab, and the style is 2x Mash DDH Hazy TIPA. That's a lot of beer jargon in one breath.
MugiHold on, that sounds like a spell made of abbreviations. What does it actually mean?
Hop BroSimple version: it's a super dense hazy with a richer mash and heaps of hops, so both the aroma and the body hit hard.
MugiOhhh, that I get! And ABV 9.5% means it looks friendly, but it's secretly here to flatten me, right?
Hop BroExactly. With NZ Chinook, Nelson Sauvin, Citra, and Citra Cryo, you get ripe pineapple vibes plus herbal notes, pine, and a solid dank finish.
MugiPine after pineapple? That's basically tropical forest bathing in a glass, and now I need to try it.
Hop BroThat's why it fits the place so well. Beer Pub Camden is known for weekly rotating taps, so a guest beer with this much presence really stands out.
MugiAnd it's that easygoing second-floor counter spot, right? Okay, Ikebukuro pint plan is happening fast.
Hop BroExactly. You can drop in casually and still get serious craft payoff, which is perfect for a beer this loaded.
MugiThen we're done talking. I want it now. Let's go check that pineapple-and-dank combo for ourselves!
