At Beer Cellar Ichinomiya: Repubrew's 'Conix Brut IPA' and Three Shiga Kogen Beers
Beer Cellar Ichinomiya, a beer pub in Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture, has updated its tap list. In addition to Repubrew's collaboration beer "Conix Brut IPA," the lineup includes Shiga Kogen Beer’s "SNOW MONKEY IPA," "SHIGA KOGEN HELLES!?," and "Shiga Kogen Porter (PT)," offering a wide range of styles to enjoy.
Hop BroThe tap update at the Ichinomiya beer pub is really heating up. Beer Cellar Ichinomiya has lined up Repubrew's collaboration beer "Conix Brut IPA" and three Shiga Kogen Beers.
MugiWhoa, three Shiga Kogen beers! And what is a Brut IPA anyway? That name sounds way too sparkly.
Hop BroFirst, "Conix Brut IPA" has an interesting white-grape-like aroma. It has notes like mandarin, pine, and cedarwood, and at ABV 6.5 with IBU 13.0, it finishes clean and dry.
MugiIBU again! I get that it means bitterness, but 13.0 sounds pretty gentle, right?
Hop BroExactly. IBU is a rough measure of bitterness. Since this is an IPA focused on crispness, the hop aroma stands out but the finish stays light. It also looks clear, so it is the kind of beer you can easily dive into.
MugiI see! So "SNOW MONKEY IPA" has that hazy, hoppy feel, and this one sounds even juicier!
Hop BroThat's right. SNOW MONKEY IPA is a Hazy IPA with ABV 6.0 and IBU 21. It keeps the backbone of a distinctively Shiga Kogen IPA while letting you enjoy the hazy outline of the hops.
MugiWow, and "SHIGA KOGEN HELLES!?" already has the look of a food-pairing beer in its name, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroHelles is a traditional German lager with ABV 5.0 and IBU 11. Its appeal is that it pairs with a wide range of meals, and instead of being flashy, it has a balance that makes you want to drink it every day.
MugiThe last one, "Shiga Kogen Porter (PT)," made me think of nighttime the moment I heard espresso aroma... It sounds amazing with grilled food!
Hop BroExactly, it's a robust porter with ABV 5.5. It has a strong malt character and roasted aroma, and the fact that you can go IPA first, Helles with the meal, and porter to finish is what makes it so great.
MugiI can't help it, my throat reacted just reading that! It's a tap list with the fun of choosing your first pint, and now I can't decide whether to start with an IPA or settle in with a Helles!
Hop BroEven the indecision is part of the fun, right? Next time, let's go to Ichinomiya with a tasting lineup in mind. I'll start with the Conix, and Mugi-chan can begin with the SNOW MONKEY?
