Northern Brew Teases a New Beer After Its Mango Release
Hokkaido-based Northern Brew hinted at a new beer in an Instagram post published on September 14, titled “What came after mango was…” The brewery has not yet disclosed the beer’s name, ingredients, style, or release date.
Hop BroNorthern Brew in Abira, Hokkaido has teased the next beer after mango. Their September 14 Instagram post leaves plenty for us to wonder about.
MugiWhat?! “What came after mango...” and then they stop there?! My brain has peaches, pineapple, and melon holding a meeting!
Hop BroThe ingredient, product name, and release date are still unannounced. But Northern Brew makes adventurous beers centered on unfiltered Hazy IPA, so speculation is part of the fun.
MugiWow! But “unfiltered” and “Hazy” just brought in a fog of beer jargon. What does Hazy mean?
Hop BroHazy means cloudy. These IPAs retain yeast and hop-derived compounds, creating cloudiness and juicy character. They can taste fruity even without added fruit.
MugiNo way! So mango aroma could meet the fruity notes from hops too? A major aroma traffic jam—and I’m absolutely ready for it!
Hop BroExactly. They also brew with ingredients such as Abira-grown barley and oats, putting local ingredients to work. The next beer may carry a distinctly Hokkaido idea as well.
MugiOats in beer too?! It sounds like granola diving into a pint glass! What do they do? I need the grain team lineup!
Hop BroOats can make the mouthfeel smoother and softer. That makes them a great match for fruit-forward beers, helping create a creamy, rounded texture.
MugiI already want this mystery beer! Their beer bar also offers domestic and international beers with food, right? My flight-of-beers fantasy is unstoppable!
Hop BroFor now, the recipe, sales method, and release date remain unknown. Let’s watch Northern Brew’s Instagram and site for the joy of the reveal—then plan a toast.
MugiDeal! Whatever the next fruit is, I want to try it beside its mango predecessor. Let’s toast the new release, Hop Bro!
