Two Rabbits Brewing Releases HOP BIDDY BYE BYE California IPA
Two Rabbits Brewing Company in Omihachiman, Shiga, has released HOP BIDDY BYE BYE, a California IPA built around dank, citrus, and tropical hop character. The beer uses Columbus, Strata, Eggers Riwaka Special, and Riwaka Diesel to create a hop-forward profile with a dry finish.
Hop BroI’ve got my eye on Nito Brewery’s new release today: a California IPA called "HOP BIDDY BYE BYE."
MugiWait, HOP BIDDY BYE BYE already sounds bouncy! What makes a California IPA different from a regular IPA?
Hop BroIt’s from Nito Brewery in Omihachiman, Shiga. It’s 770 yen for a 360ml can, or 4,620 yen for six, and the build is all about letting the hops lead without getting clunky.
MugiWhoa! But that dank aroma in the article... what is that? It sounds like a compliment from a basement goblin!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part: dank meets citrus here. It uses Columbus and Strata, then Eggers Riwaka Special and Riwaka Diesel to push up the tropical side too.
MugiHold on, that’s a hop name? And you just dropped "dry hop" like there’s going to be a quiz later!
Hop BroThere could be. Dry hopping means adding hops after fermentation to boost aroma, so you get that burst of citrus and tropical fruit without piling on too much bitterness.
MugiWhat is this, aroma max mode? I’m into it. But if the aroma is that huge, doesn’t the taste get heavy too?
Hop BroThat’s where it’s smart: it finishes clean and dry, so the flavor doesn’t drag. IPA regulars can enjoy it, but it still sounds welcoming if you mainly want hop aroma.
MugiSo basically it’s the glass empties itself kind of beer! I’m not sure I trust myself with just one can now.
Hop BroExactly. I’m at open one now already, because I want that first sip to hit and go, "Oh, so this is dank."
Two Rabbits Brewing Company, based in Omihachiman, Shiga, is offering HOP BIDDY BYE BYE, a California IPA sold through its online shop. Pricing is set at ¥770 for a 360ml can and ¥4,620 for a six-pack. As a brewery rooted in Shiga’s craft beer scene, Two Rabbits continues to put hop character at the center of its releases with this beer.
The hop bill is the key point of the release. Columbus and Strata form the base, while Eggers Riwaka Special and Riwaka Diesel are used as dry hops. The brewery describes the aroma as opening with strong dank notes and moving into bright citrus and tropical fruit.
On the palate, the beer is said to be very clean and dry, which helps it stay drinkable despite its intense aroma. That balance of a bold hop nose and a smooth finish should appeal not only to IPA fans, but also to drinkers who want a more approachable hop-forward beer. It is a straightforward example of Two Rabbits’ focus on expressive, well-structured brewing.
