Ise Kadoya Beer's "Imperial Red Ale" Re-tapped at Mihama Base in Inage Kaigan
At the craft beer specialty shop WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE (Mihama Base) in Inage Kaigan, Ise Kadoya Beer’s "Imperial Red Ale" was tapped again. The previous keg sold out in just one day, and on this day there were nine draft beers on offer, from standards to IPAs.
Hop BroAt Mihama Base in Inage Kaigan, the beer has been re-tapped, and Ise Kadoya Beer’s "Imperial Red Ale" is back. Last time it disappeared in a single day, so it really feels like the comeback of a hugely popular keg.
MugiWhat! Sold out in one day!? That’s the kind of beer you have to drink the moment you find it. It’s way too much of a mythical popular keg!
Hop BroThis beer is Imperial Red Ale, but it’s not just a red beer. It combines old and new American hops, bringing together the nostalgia of 2000s IPAs and the easy drinkability of today.
MugiWait, what do you mean by old and new American hops!? Do hops even have “old” and “new” versions? That sounds like you’re talking about used and brand-new ones!
Hop BroBasically, it means combining the character of classic hop aromas with a modern, clean bitterness design. That’s why the nostalgia and modern feel coexist, and it’s not just heavy, which is what makes it interesting.
MugiOhhh! And that copper-red color already looks delicious. The moment it’s in a glass, it’s the kind of drink that makes you feel a little stronger!
Hop BroThe aroma has hints of citrus and grapes, and when you drink it, a solid richness comes first, followed by a crisp bitterness that tightens up. It’s clearly defined like a Double Red Ale, and that’s what makes it great.
MugiA Double Red Ale sounds hard to understand, but once you explain it, it makes me want to drink it! But is it true that they had all nine drafts on tap that day?
Hop BroIt’s true. From `GUINNESS` and `KIRIN HEARTLAND` to `Hoegaarden White`, plus `Revision Glitter Moon` and `West Coast Brewing Special Delivery:Ra mosa`, it was basically a paradise for tasting comparisons.
MugiWow, they had stout, pilsner, and IPA-style beers! And Mihama Base also does takeaway, and you can use it from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. It’s perfect for a pre-party stop!
Hop BroHaving a place like this means you can casually stop by for a drink and make happiness out of it. Today, I’d want to go for the re-tapped first pour and then keep going with a tasting session.
MugiAgreed! First the "Imperial Red Ale," then I want to sample the other kegs that catch my eye! Today is totally a beer-drinking kind of day!
The Beer That Was Re-tapped
At the craft beer specialty shop WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE (Mihama Base) in Inage Kaigan, Ise Kadoya Beer’s "Imperial Red Ale" was tapped once again. It was a popular label that reportedly sold out in just one day the last time, and this time the keg was hooked up anew.
This beer is designed by blending old- and new-school American hops, balancing the nostalgia reminiscent of 2000s IPAs with modern drinkability. Its copper-red color, aromas evoking citrus and grapes, substantial body, and a crisp, tightening bitterness come together to create a clearly defined flavor profile true to a Double Red Ale.

In addition to the staple `GUINNESS`, `KIRIN HEARTLAND`, and `Hoegaarden White`, the lineup included `Revision Glitter Moon`, `Karl Strauss Tower X`, `Paperback Tucked in by Strangers`, `West Coast Brewing Special Delivery:Ra mosa`, and `FARMENTRY No.3 YAYOI IPA #2`. From stout, pilsner, and white ale to NE Hazy Double IPA, West Coast IPA, Hazy Double IPA, and Juicy IPA, it was a lineup wide enough to make comparative tasting fun.
