BLACK TIDE BREWING highlights three core beers from Kesennuma
BLACK TIDE BREWING, the brewpub in Kesennuma, Miyagi, introduced three of its core beers: Kesennuma Pride, Hazy Wave, and Days Over. The lineup spans IPA, Hazy IPA, and unfiltered lager, making the brewery’s range easy to compare.
Hop BroI want to talk about BLACK TIDE BREWING's core three today. Their brewpub in Kesennuma just laid out a lineup that sounds perfect for a side-by-side tasting.
MugiWait, three year-round beers already sounds dangerous for my decision-making! And now you're telling me they're built for comparison too?
Hop BroFirst up is Kesennuma Pride. It's their flagship IPA, built on citrusy Citra and Chinook, layered with piney and dank character, then rounded out by a malty base and juicy finish. ABV is 6.5%.
MugiHold on, piney and dank sounds like a wizard spell. Why does this beer suddenly live in a forest with a mysterious soundtrack?
Hop BroSimple version: foresty aroma with deep hop punch. Think fresh pine, grapefruit peel, and that bold hoppy edge that makes an IPA feel alive.
MugiOkay, that helps! So what about Hazy Wave? The name already sounds soft and dramatic, like a beer entering in slow motion.
Hop BroThat's their new staple Hazy IPA. It centers on Citra, throws out vivid citrus and dank aroma, and stays rich while still being easy to keep drinking. ABV is 7.0%, so it has some muscle behind the softness.
MugiRich but easy to drink is such a suspicious combo. That's the kind of beer that smiles politely and then suddenly wins the whole night, right?
Hop BroThen there's Days Over for the finish. It's an Unfiltered Lager that's crisp but still soft on the palate, with Nelson Sauvin and Motueka bringing bright, elegant aroma. ABV is 5.5%, and it sounds perfect for the end of the day.
MugiWait, Unfiltered Lager? So it's a lager, but not filtered, and somehow crisp and soft at the same time? This beer has too many plot twists.
Hop BroBasically it means snappy yet rounded. You still get the clean, refreshing lager feel, but the unfiltered texture gives it a gentler body and lets the aroma bloom a little more.
MugiI'm sold on a core pack tasting now. I want to start with Kesennuma Pride, ride the energy into Hazy Wave, and then land softly with Days Over.
Hop BroThat's the right order. At this point, I want all three whether it's at the brewpub or at home, because this lineup sounds way too fun to leave alone.
