Kamakura Beer unveils limited Father’s Day IPA and gift sets for June 21
Kamakura Beer in Kamakura, Kanagawa, is offering Father’s Day gifts for June 21, including a limited West Coast IPA called Chichikoko Beer, plus beer sets paired with flowers or Kamakura Ham products. The brewery also highlighted the lineup on Instagram.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Kamakura Beer for Father's Day. They’re offering the limited IPA "Chichi Koko Mugishu" plus flower and ham gift sets in their online shop.
MugiWhat! Chichi Koko Mugishu sounds like filial piety poured straight into a glass!
Hop BroAnd the key beer is a West Coast IPA. Only 800 bottles, 6.0% ABV, IBU 50, and EBC 7, so it’s built like a classic.
MugiWait, what? IBU 50 and EBC 7 sounds less like beer and more like a secret agent code!
Hop BroPut simply, it’s a guide to bitterness and color. IBU tells you bitterness, EBC tells you color, so this one should look light and drink firmly bitter.
MugiOhh! So citrus-forward hops means it smells fresh, kind of like grapefruit or lemon?
Hop BroExactly. And the dry finish matters too, because it keeps the fruity aroma crisp instead of sweet, with that classic malt-and-hop structure.
MugiWow, and there’s also a Kamakura Ham gift set? Sausage with IPA feels like the kind of combo that makes dads silently nod in approval.
Hop BroThere’s also a flowers and beer pairing. A local Kamakura florist makes the bright arrangement, and they even add a free message card, so it feels very rooted in the town.
MugiAt this point I need one too. This started as a Father’s Day gift idea, and now I just want to drink the limited IPA myself!
Hop BroSame here, under the excuse of taste-testing. This is absolutely the kind of Father’s Day release that makes you want to crack one open right away.
