Hop BroToday I want to talk about the BORNITE tapping. A limited beer celebrating the 4th anniversary of CBM Kyoto Porta has gone on tap at Craft Beer Market LUCUA Osaka.
MugiWhoa! So it's a 4th anniversary beer? And you can drink it in Osaka too? Even though it's for Kyoto, it feels like I got a little bonus!
Hop BroExactly. And it's a collaboration with BIGHAND BROS.BEER, with the beer named "BORNITE." It has a really strong limited-edition feel since it's only available at the two locations, LUCUA Osaka and Kyoto Porta.
MugiWhat is IPL anyway? Is it different from IPA? Adding letters suddenly makes it feel like a science class!
Hop BroIPL stands for India Pale Lager, a style that brings strong hop aroma to the crispness of a lager. In other words, it's easy to drink, but the aroma still takes center stage.
MugiOhhh! Having layers of hop aroma but still being light sounds so good! It feels like something you could just keep gulping down!
Hop BroThe post also described it as having grapefruit notes and a white grape-like character, layered with herbs and spice. Since it uses hops from four countries - the United States, New Zealand, Poland, and Germany - the aroma is really multi-layered.
MugiFour-country hops, wow! It's like an international aroma conference! But if the finish is smooth, it sounds perfect as a first beer too!
Hop BroThat's exactly the point - it's the kind of beer that's easy to choose as your first drink. And the same post mentioned that BIGHAND BROS.BEER's "Flint" won gold at World Beer Cup 2026, so the brand is really building momentum too.
MugiNow I'm interested! If I can drink it at LUCUA Osaka B2F, I'd want to stop by after work, and pairing it with French-style snacks would be such a nice treat.
Hop BroYeah, just the fact that it's a beer celebrating an anniversary gives you a reason to drink it, and it's great that you can enjoy both the aroma and the crisp finish. This really makes me want to toast with BORNITE tonight.
MugiIt's decided! Let's go drink it before this limited beer runs out! I'm completely in the mood for craft beer tonight!
