GROUNDTAP BREWERY launches online-only summer IPA trio set
GROUNDTAP BREWERY in Saijo, Ehime has started selling an online-only summer IPA set. The six-bottle pack includes DREAM TRAIN, TAP TENGU, and ROAD IN THE SKY, with gift handling also available.
Hop BroThis time it's all about the Summer IPA Trio Set. GROUNDTAP BREWERY launched it as an EC-exclusive, and it feels perfectly aimed at hot-weather beer cravings.
MugiWait, online store only? That already sounds like a special find! And three IPAs? My fridge is basically turning into a festival.
Hop BroThe lineup is solid too. It's a six-bottle set with two each of DREAM TRAIN, TAP TENGU, and ROAD IN THE SKY. They even offer gift wrapping, so they clearly thought this through.
MugiNice! A three-beer tasting sounds fun. But those names are intense. A train, a tengu, and a road in the sky? That sounds like an RPG party.
Hop BroDREAM TRAIN kicks things off with a four-hop blend in a Hazy IPA, using Citra, Mosaic, Cascade, and Riwaka to really push the aroma forward.
MugiHold on, what is Riwaka? There are too many new names. I feel like I need a field guide just to keep up with the hops.
Hop BroThat's a New Zealand hop variety. And Hazy IPA just means a cloudy-looking IPA that's usually more juicy and aroma-driven, instead of just hitting you with bitterness.
MugiOkay, so it's the cloudy aromatic one! Then what about TAP TENGU and ROAD IN THE SKY? Which one is the final boss and which one is the flying sidekick?
Hop BroTAP TENGU is built as a Double IPA build, with citrus and pine-resin notes plus a strong sweet-bitter balance. ROAD IN THE SKY is a Hazy IPA with pineapple, pear, and peach-like aromas, a lighter body, and an easy session-leaning drinkability.
MugiWow, beer brewed with Uchinuki spring water from Saijo, Ehime, and a set that goes from aroma-first to full-bodied? That's too good. This is exactly the kind of gift I'd buy for myself and then immediately want to drink with someone.
GROUNDTAP BREWERY has started selling an online-exclusive summer IPA set. The lineup includes `DREAM TRAIN`, `TAP TENGU`, and `ROAD IN THE SKY`: two Hazy IPAs and one Double IPA, packed as six bottles with two of each. Gift handling is also available, making it a practical option for home drinking or seasonal gifts.
Lineup
- `DREAM TRAIN`: a Hazy IPA brewed with Citra, Mosaic, Cascade, and Riwaka.
- `TAP TENGU`: a Double IPA built around citrus and pine-resin aromas, with a balanced sweet-bitter profile.
- `ROAD IN THE SKY`: a Hazy IPA with pineapple, pear, and peach-like aromas, a lighter body, and a modest bitterness.
Based in Saijo, Ehime, GROUNDTAP BREWERY uses the local Uchinuki water, and that regional character shows up in the range. The set lets drinkers move from aromatic Hazy IPA to a firmer Double IPA, which should work well for the humid early-summer season.
