A New Release with an Edgy Profile


In an Instagram post titled "Hello, ...," Yachiyo Brewery announced its new release, "Yurushite IPA". The caption described it as "a very edgy new release," and the style was clearly listed as a Double IPA (7.5%).

What stands out in particular is the IBU 200 rating. The brewery itself describes it as "by far the strongest bitterness we've ever made." While the citrus aroma makes it easy to approach on the nose, the bitterness appears to surge strongly in the finish. This is clearly a release aimed at hop lovers with high bitterness tolerance.

Where Yachiyo Brewery Stands Now


Yachiyo Brewery is described on its official website as the only craft beer brewery in Yachiyo City, Chiba Prefecture. Based in the Katsutadai area, it also operates a brewpub. It opened on March 22, 2025, and has promoted a lineup of 4 to 6 original beers available at all times.

With "Yurushite IPA" now joining that lineup, the brewery is adding not only easy-drinking beers but also options that push bitterness to the forefront. For beer fans who want to enjoy the range that a local brewery can offer, this looks like a release worth watching.
