Totopia Brewery Announces New Clawphobia, Early Release on May 19
Totopia Brewery has announced its new beer, "Clawphobia / ｸﾛｳﾌｫﾋﾞｱ (Clawphobia)". It is a 2x Mash DDH Imperial Hazy IPA with an ABV of 9.0%. It will be available to BtoB on May 19 and to BtoC on May 22.
Hop BroTotopia Brewery has another interesting new release. The star this time is Clawphobia. It’s pronounced "Crow-phobia."
MugiWait, it’s called claw phobia!? It sounds strong, but also kind of cute and scary!
Hop BroAnd it’s bold on the inside too. The style is 2x Mash DDH Imperial Hazy IPA, the ABV is 9.0%, and the hops are Citra, Rakau, Strata, and Strata CGX.
MugiHold on, hold on, what is 2x Mash!? It sounds like a spell, and my head is being wrapped in hops!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s a brewing method that really draws out the malt’s flavor. Then the extra aroma from DDH is layered in, which tends to give the aroma more depth.
MugiI see! So it’s not just rich, it has thick layers of aroma too. It sounds delicious even before drinking it!
Hop BroExactly. The flavor is silky and full-bodied, with dank aromas and peach-like sweetness on top, then it finishes with a refreshing aftertaste.
MugiI was surprised because dank sounds like something earthy and heavy, but if it has peach sweetness, it sounds easy to drink! And 9.0% is pretty strong!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it feel like Totopia. The brewery was born in 2022 in Nagakute City, Aichi Prefecture, and I like its approach of building around a hop-driven design and depicting a world not yet seen.
MugiI want to know the release date too! It’s early release on May 19 for BtoB, and BtoC starts on May 22, right? I want to go find a place where I can drink it soon!
Hop BroYeah, this is definitely one to watch. I want to slowly savor a glass delivered from Nagakute while the aroma is still bright.
MugiSame! Today, I can’t stop thinking, I want to drink it right now!
