Hop BroToday’s new release news is seriously stylish. DD4D BREWING from Matsuyama, Ehime has put out “Newsboy Cap.” The style is Oatmeal Stout!
MugiWhat! Even the name Newsboy Cap sounds classy! When was it released?
Hop BroIt was released on February 23, 2026, and the Instagram announcement post went live at 20:00. It’s a limited brew aiming for a classic British-style stout.
MugiJust hearing “British-style” makes it feel instantly gentlemanly! But what makes an oatmeal stout different?
Hop BroThe recipe is carefully built. It uses six grains and malts: Maris Otter, Munich, Flaked Oats, Roasted Barley, Chocolate, and Cara. The Flaked Oats give it that silky, creamy mouthfeel.
MugiWhat is that! Suddenly it sounds like a spell! If I chant Maris... something, can I summon beer?
Hop BroYou can’t summon it, but you’re close. Maris Otter is a British base malt that adds a biscuit-like richness. And with ABV 5.0% and IBU 25, it’s designed to be easy to drink without being too heavy or too bitter.
MugiOhh! Hearing the numbers makes me feel better! What does it smell like?
Hop BroThe aroma is centered on coffee, caramel, chocolate, and roast, layered with a subtle hop bitterness and floral notes from English yeast. Plus, the official recommendation is to drink it “not too cold, and slowly.”
MugiIt’s one of those beers that opens up as it warms! Soft at first, then the sweetness comes through gradually... just imagining it makes me happy.
Hop BroIt’ll be sold online, at directly operated shops, and through stockists. It comes in 330 mL cans and 15 L kegs. Very much a DD4D release from a brewery founded in 2019, showing off its craft through design rather than flash.
MugiI’ve decided already. Tonight we’re toasting with Newsboy Cap! Hop, big brother, you’re on cold-check duty!
