Izuya Shoten, a beer pub in Nakanobu, Tokyo, has received four beers from Repubrew, a brewery in Numazu, Shizuoka. From a coconut-scented hazy to a cloudy IPA made with sake yeast and the classic 69IPA, the lineup offers a range of distinct characters.
Hop BroFour bottles from Repubrew in Numazu, Shizuoka have arrived at Izuya Shoten in Nakanobu. This time, four distinctive beers have come together, making for a lineup that is a lot of fun to compare side by side.
MugiWhat, all four are totally different!? That's a comparative tasting paradise. Which one is the right place to start?
Hop BroStart with the SABRO SESSION HAZY IPA. A coconut-like aroma comes drifting up, and because it's a session beer, it's light and brisk. Even though it's a hazy, it doesn't feel heavy.
MugiA coconut beer? That sounds suddenly very tropical. And when you say it's light and brisk like a session beer, how easy is it really to drink?
Hop BroIt means it's on the easy-drinking side. They keep the alcohol presence and heaviness down, so it's suited to a casual glass. It still keeps the soft texture that makes a hazy beer a hazy beer.
MugiI see! Then next is HEARTS UP! IPA GO, right? It said the packaging is flashy, but it's not just about looks, is it?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. It's colorful because of the collaboration with PLAZA, but when you drink it, there is a solid IPA-like bitterness. Looks like a party person, but tastes like someone who gets the job done.
MugiSo the outside is all party vibes, but the inside is serious!? I kind of like that kind of gap. It sounds perfect as a beer for changing your mood!
Hop BroNext, let's go a little more niche. Wano-Nigori is a Hazy IPA made with sake yeast, so there's a Japanese nuance tucked into the fruitiness. It's really interesting.
MugiSake yeast? So even though it's beer, it leans toward Japanese food!? That's kind of mysterious... but hearing that it would pair well with sashimi makes me want to drink it right away!
Hop BroExactly, it's easy to pair with Japanese dishes like sashimi. To finish, the classic 69IPA is the one to go with. It has strong hop aroma and bitterness, and it's a beer that makes Repubrew's character come through clearly.
MugiSo basically, you start by playing with aroma, then hit it with bitterness, and finish with a classic! Now I completely want to start tasting them right away!
Hop BroThat sequence is probably the right call. If you line up all four at Izuya Shoten and compare them, you'll definitely want to toast with Repubrew today.

HEARTS UP! IPA GO is a noteworthy beer finished in collaboration with PLAZA. The colorful packaging catches the eye, but the flavor delivers a solid IPA bitterness, offering a fun contrast between appearance and taste. It is the kind of beer suited to changing your mood.

And 69IPA is one of Repubrew's signature regular offerings. Positioned as a classic American IPA, it lets you fully experience hop aroma and bitterness, making it an essential choice for IPA fans.
