Hop BroThe Uji beer pub Beer Tsukasa had a pretty interesting 6-tap lineup on 3/22. Having ISEKADO, Beer Hearn, Gangi Brewing, and overseas brewers on the board is exciting.
MugiWhoa, six beers? Six varieties from Japan and abroad sounds like I'd be lost before I even start choosing!
Hop BroThe main highlight was definitely ISEKADO's Another Cut. It's a collaboration with VERTERE, and it's a beer where the aroma and haze that define a Hazy IPA really take center stage.
MugiOh! So a Hazy IPA is basically an IPA with haze? The slightly milky look is kind of intriguing!
Hop BroExactly. It often emphasizes hop-driven aroma while keeping bitterness softer. So it's an aroma-forward IPA that's easy to enjoy.
MugiI get it! And they also had ISEKADO's Mugi no Kimamani in a German Pilsner, right? So you could do a total crispness showdown!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Comparing Hazy and Pilsner really shows the difference between rich aroma and clean refreshment.
MugiThe domestic beers are interesting too! Beer Hearn's Shinjiko MOON sounds stylish just from the name, and does it have honey in it?
Hop BroYes, it's a Honey Weizen Bock. And Gangi Brewing's NEW CHAPTER is a Wheat IPA with Sichuan pepper, so it's playing around with a spicy twist.
MugiWhoa, like Japanese pepper! Just imagining a spice-driven IPA makes it fun, and I want to taste them side by side!
Hop BroThe overseas beers are strong too, with TRADEMARK Brewing's CODEBREAKER and Firestone Walker's Anniversary 29th. With a West Coast IPA and a Barrel Aged Ale, it's a pretty deep rabbit hole to end on.
MugiWow, I really want to drink slowly in Uji! Put six beers in great condition right now in front of me, and there's no way Hop and I would stop at just one glass!
