Hop BroA standout new release is coming out of Okinawa. Heavy Sasori Brewing is dropping “NIOH's Garden” on June 23.
MugiWait, that name sounds fierce and peaceful at the same time! NIOH's Garden what kind of beer is that?
Hop BroIt’s brewed as an Okinawan Pale Ale, with 6.5% ABV. The idea is bright citrus character with soft sweetness and a rounded mouthfeel.
MugiHold on, ABV 6.5% sounds like serious business. Is that strong, or just strong-looking?
Hop BroABV just means alcohol by volume. The number has some weight, but the malt profile gives it a full, gentle texture, so it’s not just about punch.
MugiOkay, but you also casually said Voss Kveik. Voss Kveik yeast sounds less like brewing and more like a final boss.
Hop BroThat’s the yeast strain. It helps create a bright citrus character during fermentation, kind of like a soft hit of mandarin peel.
MugiAnd it has shell ginger leaves, lemongrass, and guava leaves too? Okinawan greenery is basically jumping out of the glass already.
Hop BroThat’s the heart of it. It’s a beer with a story, tied to memories of the brewer’s grandparents’ garden and the local feel of Makishi in Naha.
MugiThat’s unfairly appealing. Flavor and nostalgia together? June 23 feels like a must-drink release already.
Hop BroIf I see it on tap, I’m ordering immediately. A toast in NIOH's Garden sounds like exactly the right plan.
