Nomimonoya in Takamatsu adds four Open Air Brewing guest beers
Nomimonoya, a beer pub in Fushogama-cho, Takamatsu, Kagawa, has received a new guest-beer shipment from @openair.brewing. The lineup includes four beers: an XPA, a Juicy IPA, a Hazy IPA, and a Gin Botanical IPA.
Hop BroNomimonoya in Takamatsu just brought in four Open Air beers. From an XPA to a Gin Botanical IPA, plus discounts continuing through July, this is a pretty serious lineup.
MugiWhat, all four at once? If it goes from easy-drinking to full-on quirky, I’d get lost just reading the tap list!
Hop BroThe best opener is probably cruise control. It’s an XPA at 5%, IBU 43, built with pilsner malt, wheat malt, and Citra, Strata, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops.
MugiHold on, what is IBU 43? The way you say it makes it sound like an exam score and now I’m nervous!
Hop BroIBU is basically a bitterness scale. Not a grade, just a rough guide where higher numbers usually mean more noticeable bitterness. At 43, you still get a crisp start with clear hop character.
MugiOhhh, so that’s a first-pint candidate. Even the name cruise control sounds like it’ll ease me smoothly into the night!
Hop BroThen you move into onward and hopful mind. They’re both 6.5%, but the Juicy IPA should push aroma forward, while the Hazy IPA leans into a softer, rounder texture.
MugiNo way, juicy versus hazy already sounds delicious, but I only understand it in a very vague, hungry kind of way!
Hop BroJuicy means big tropical aroma, while Hazy usually feels softer in both look and mouthfeel, with bitterness coming across gentler. Then you finish with botanical groove, and that gin-botanical aroma just stretches the aftertaste out beautifully.
MugiAnd the July discount continues, right? Now I want to rush over to Busshozan in Takamatsu and try them in exactly that order at Nomimonoya!
Hop BroThey also posted the July 2 time slot from 17:00 to 20:00, and this is exactly the kind of place that makes chasing guest taps worth it. I’d start with cruise control and absolutely ride it all the way to botanical groove.
MugiThat settles it, the Open Air flight is happening. I’m starting with cruise control, and you are absolutely staying with me through the last sip!
