The beer pub HOP MAN in Jukkenzaka, Chigasaki City, announced the new tap of a guest beer in an Instagram post on May 13. The beer now available is Kakegawa Beer’s "Gozou Roppu Lager."

In the post, the beer is introduced as a West Coast Pilsner. With an approachable ABV of 5.0% and IBU 30, it is built around a combination of Mosaic, Citra, Simcoe, and Idaho 7, layering bright citrus character with dank aroma. It offers the clean drinkability typical of a pilsner and a crisp finish, and the brewery describes it as something to "drink up heartily."

HOP MAN is known as a beer pub where guests can casually enjoy draft beer in the station-area part of Chigasaki. Guest beers enjoyed at a place like this are best appreciated not only for their specs, but also for the shape of their flavor as they hit the palate. "Gozou Roppu Lager," which balances the lightness of a lager with hop-driven character, is exactly the kind of beer suited to that style of enjoyment.
