Hop BroBMB Brewery in Miyazaki is teaming up with Baldys Good Beer for a April 21 at 3:00 p.m. release. It's called "GREEN RAY," and it's definitely one to watch.
MugiWhoa! And it's a Double IPA at 8.5% too? That's hitting hard right from the start! I feel like I might get tipsy already!
Hop BroThat's the best part. This one is brewed around the memory of that initial excitement, based on the brewery's own recollection of its first beer.
MugiWhat do you mean, memory of that time? Explain it properly! When you say old-school bitterness, all I can picture is a bitter face!
Hop BroSimply put, instead of today's flashy sweetness, it's an old-fashioned IPA that brings the hop profile to the front. In other words, it's a firmly bitter IPA that pulls the drinker's memories right back up.
MugiOhh! And BMB Brewery also has that Beer from culture motto, right? Even the name already makes it feel like more than just a regular beer shop!
Hop BroExactly. They started in Miyazaki in 2018, and in 2024 they even set up a new brewery in Kiyotake Town. With that background, a beer born at the new brewery in Kiyotake Town carries real credibility.
MugiWow, now it suddenly feels way more serious! So what does it taste like? From your explanation, I can already feel the grassy aroma coming at my nose!
Hop BroThat's about right. With Baldys Good Beer in the mix, it has that dialogue-like interplay of Baldys Good Beer and a modern take on memorable bitterness.
MugiAnd they have a taproom called Beer Market BASE in the city too, right? I can already see myself stopping by after work!
Hop BroExactly. If you can drink it on release day, that's ideal, and even if you can't, the buzz alone is enough for a pint. At this point, it's settled: we've got no choice but to drink.
BMB Brewery, based in Miyazaki City, will release its collaboration beer "GREEN RAY" with Baldys Good Beer on April 21 at 3:00 p.m. The style is Double India Pale Ale, with an alcohol content of 8.5%. In the announcement, it is positioned as an IPA with a firm bitterness that evokes early craft beer experiences.
At the core of this beer is the brewery's memory of that first pint it once experienced. In its post, the brewery explains that it used a recipe from that era and tried to recreate that excitement as faithfully as possible. Rather than chasing today's trends, it deliberately returns to an old-school IPA, in a striking approach that reexamines the original character of IPA.
BMB Brewery began brewing in Miyazaki City in 2018 and opened a new brewery in Kiyotake Town in 2024. With the concept "Beer from culture," it sends distinctive craft beer from Miyazaki. The city also has its taproom, "Beer Market BASE," making it easy for local drinkers to regularly experience the brewery's worldview.
"GREEN RAY" can be seen as a beer born from the overlap of the brewery's journey and its dialogue with an outside brewery. Through its pairing with Baldys Good Beer, it will be interesting to see how the memorable bitterness and grassy impression were shaped into something modern. This is a beer whose balance will be worth checking at the time of release.
