Hop BroAt Dolphin Industry in Tenmonkan, Kagoshima, news has arrived of two U.S. IPAs being tapped at the same time. It is a dream lineup for anyone who loves tasting comparisons.
MugiWait, what! Two different IPAs, and they are a pair with totally opposite personalities? That sounds incredibly fun!
Hop BroOne is Revision Brewing's Pacific Static Hazy IPA, a 6.7% juicy-style beer. It leans into the hop aroma in a way that really feels Nevada-born.
MugiOhhh! But what does the post mean by super clear style? I would think clear means the flavor is kind of thin!
Hop BroThat is the common misunderstanding. Hazy means a cloudy look and a fruity, juice-like feel, while Trademark Brewing's Ocean Thunder IPA is all about the crisp edge of a West Coast IPA. At 7%, the bitterness lands clean and sharp.
MugiWhat! Then if I start with half pours of both for comparison, I might actually be able to tell the difference!
Hop BroExactly. And when you pair them with a wagyu burger or loaded fries, the bitterness and the fat work together beautifully. This is definitely a back-to-back order situation.
MugiThey are tempting my stomach too, which is unfair! Wait, Dolphin Industry is a long-established spot founded in 2007? My trust level just jumped!
Hop BroIt is on the 3rd floor of Hamada Building, 14-15 Higashisengoku-cho, with weekday hours from 18:00 to 24:00 and from 15:00 on weekends. A place that has been rooted in the neighborhood for 10 years is exactly where these contrasting American IPAs shine.
MugiDecision made! I am going to start with the juicy one and finish with the crisp one in a back-to-back order strategy. Hop bro, let's go tonight!
The beer pub Dolphin Industry in Higashisengoku-cho, Kagoshima, is introducing two IPA guest beers from U.S. breweries.
The key point this time is that, even though both are IPA, their characters are clearly different. The post describes them as "two kinds of American IPA, one hazy and one super clear," making it a lineup you can compare while noticing differences in aroma and bitterness.
The guest beers currently on offer are the following two.
- Pacific Static Hazy IPA (6.7%) / Revision Brewing (Nevada)
- Ocean Thunder IPA (7% / West Coast IPA) / Trademark Brewing (Long Beach, California)
If you are after the juicy character typical of a hazy IPA, or the crisp bitterness and sharp finish typical of a West Coast IPA, your choice for the first pint may go either way. Of course, half pours or back-to-back orders make this a fun pairing for comparison.
The shop was founded in 2007 and has been operating at its current location for 10 years, making it a deeply rooted local spot. It is located on the 3rd floor of Hamada Building, 14-15 Higashisengoku-cho, Kagoshima City, and is open from 18:00 to 24:00 on weekdays, and from 15:00 on Saturdays and Sundays. This is the kind of moment when you want to take your time and enjoy the character of the guest IPAs alongside a wagyu burger or loaded fries.
