MIHAMA BASE in Inagekaigan opens FARMENTRY MINAZUKI IPA and Kiganjyo IPA
WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Chiba's Mihama ward opened two new taps: FARMENTRY's Cold IPA `No.06 MINAZUKI IPA` and the Onidensetsu x Watering Hole collaboration `Kiganjyo IPA`. The bar also offers bottle and can takeout.
Hop BroToday's story is two fresh taps at Mihama Base in Inage-Kaigan. FARMENTRY's No.06 MINAZUKI IPA and Oni Densetsu x Watering Hole's Oniiwajo IPA opened at the same time.
MugiWait, both at once? That's basically an IPA festival. Are they both the same kind of IPA?
Hop BroFirst up, No.06 MINAZUKI IPA from FARMENTRY is a Cold IPA. It uses Cascade, Centennial, Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe, so the citrus and pine aroma really jumps out.
MugiHold on, Cold IPA? What is that, just an IPA served extra cold?
Hop BroNot quite. With rice and corn grits, it drinks cleaner and lighter, so even at 7.0% it doesn't feel heavy. In plain terms: hoppy, crisp, and dangerously easy to keep sipping.
MugiOh wow, that sounds like summer in a glass. Like it could kick the rainy-season humidity right out of my brain.
Hop BroThen there's Oniiwajo IPA, a 14th anniversary collab from Oni Densetsu and Watering Hole. It's a West Coast IPA with Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe, layered with citrus and tropical notes, firm bitterness, and a dry finish.
MugiAha, so West Coast IPA means sharp, bitter, and super snappy? Like the beer version of a clean drum fill?
Hop BroExactly. That dry finish means the sweetness doesn't linger, so you get real bite and body without the beer feeling sticky.
MugiThat's dangerous in the best way. And Mihama Base does takeout bottles and cans too? My self-control just filed for leave.
Hop BroThat's the nice part. Alongside those guest beers, they've got Guinness, Heartland, Hoegaarden White, plus Unsung, West Coast Brewing, Smog City, and Pure Project, and they're open 5 p.m. to 1 a.m.
MugiThen the plan is obvious: one there, one to go, and a full side-by-side tasting before the night ends.
WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Mihama Ward, Chiba, added two new taps on this day. As the shop holds a general liquor retail license, guests can enjoy draft beer on site and also take bottles or cans home.
New tap 1
From Nara's FARMENTRY comes `No.06 MINAZUKI IPA`. This release is a Cold IPA brewed with Cascade, Centennial, Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe. It brings clear citrus and pine aromas, while rice and corn grits keep the body from feeling too heavy. At 7.0% ABV, it is built as a crisp, hop-forward beer for the humid run-up to summer.
New tap 2
`Onidensetsu x Watering Hole Kiganjyo IPA` is a collaboration brewed to celebrate Watering Hole's 14th anniversary. Using Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe, it layers citrus and tropical notes over firm bitterness and a dry finish. The result is a West Coast IPA with strong hop character and enough snap to keep each sip moving.
On the board
The lineup also includes GUINNESS, KIRIN HEARTLAND, Hoegaarden White, Unsung Carina DDH Hazy DIPA, West Coast Brewing Wandering Boi, Smog City Watt Strike Hazy IPA, and Pure Project Diamond Dust. With hours from 5:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., MIHAMA BASE is a practical stop for a quick pint or a hop-focused night out in Inagekaigan.
