MIHAMA BASE in Inagekaigan opens NEKOBEER and Smog City taps
WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Inagekaigan, Chiba, has added two new beers on tap: NEKOBEER's 'Shiroi Neko' and Smog City's 'Dynamic Pressure'. The bar is currently pouring nine draft beers in total, spanning classic styles and hop-forward guest beers.
Hop BroThere's a good one out of Inagekaigan: WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE just tapped two fresh kegs, NEKOBEER's Shiroi Neko and Smog City's Dynamic Pressure.
MugiWait, those names are already a ride. White cat and pressure? Is this cute, dangerous, or both? And what styles are we talking about?
Hop BroShiroi Neko is the NEKOBEER take on a collab with Fukuoka Craft. It's a Citra-led IPA loaded with NZ hops like Peacharine.
MugiNZ hops? What even are those? And the name Peacharine sounds like a dessert mascot.
Hop BroNZ just means New Zealand hops. They can bring peachy and citrusy aromas, and this beer keeps that fruitiness while landing a clean bitterness, so the finish stays defined.
MugiOkay, juicy but crisp, I'm in. Then Dynamic Pressure is one of those Hazy IPAs?
Hop BroExactly. Hazy IPA usually means softer texture and huge aroma. Dynamic Pressure stacks coconut, mango, and ripe stone fruit, so it feels full-on tropical before the grassy herbal edge pulls it tight.
MugiA beer with a brake pedal, got it. So that herbal backspin keeps it from turning into liquid fruit candy?
Hop BroThat's basically it. The green note holds up the sweeter aroma, and the depth keeps opening as you drink. Plus the bar is pouring nine taps total, from Guinness to sour ale.
MugiThat lineup is unfair. And with bottles and cans to go plus hours from 17:00 to 25:00, this is late-night tasting fuel.
Hop BroJust remember they're closed Tuesdays. At this point I want to start with a pint of Shiroi Neko, then chase Dynamic Pressure and see how the aroma shifts.
Two New Draft Beers
WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Inagekaigan, Chiba, announced two new draft openings today. The first is NEKOBEER's 'Shiroi Neko' version, a collaboration beer based on Fukuoka Craft's 'Shiroi Neko'. It is an India Pale Ale built around Citra, with plenty of NZ hops including Peacharine, bringing bright fruit aroma and a clean, refreshing bitterness.
The second is Smog City's 'Dynamic Pressure'. This Hazy IPA layers coconut and mango over ripe stone fruit, while subtle grassy and herbal notes keep the sweetness in check. It is described as a beer that reveals more depth as you keep drinking.

The tap list also includes Guinness, KIRIN Heartland, Hoegaarden White, Societe 'The Dagger', Sierra Nevada 'Torpedo Extra IPA', 8 Bit x Harland 'The Hop Exchange', and Yellow Beer Works 'Merry go round (ichigo ver.)'.
