Hop BroA new beer just came out from Fukui's Beto Coco Brewing! It's the DDH IPA 'SUNDAY PACE,' and they announced both the draft release and the can release on March 12, 2026.
MugiWait, that's amazing! Not just draft but cans too! So you can drink it at the bar or at home!
Hop BroThe specs are good too. It's ABV 7.0% and IBU 17, so it's designed to bring aroma and juiciness to the front without pushing bitterness too hard.
MugiWhat! Is IBU 17 low? I thought IPA was supposed to be more bitter and make your face scrunch up!
Hop BroIBU is roughly a guide to bitterness. At 17, it's more about wrapping you in aroma than hitting you hard with bitterness. And since this is DDH, the star is layering hop aroma more heavily.
MugiDDH... does that mean double the hops? Just the abbreviation alone is making me feel drunk!
Hop BroPretty much! It stands for Double Dry Hopped, a method where hops are added during or after fermentation to boost aroma. With Nelson Sauvin and Strata, you get a white-grape-like character, grassy notes, and it's clean, fresh, and juicy.
MugiWow, an IPA with a white-grape vibe sounds classy! So it's like the aroma of a meadow? If I drank that on a Sunday afternoon, I'd win for sure!
Hop BroThe name is SUNDAY PACE, so that's exactly the idea. As the temperature rises, the aroma changes too, so it's fun to compare it first when it's cold and then later when it opens up.
MugiThen it's decided! First we'll check the aroma on draft, and then take a can home for round two! ...I'm already so ready to drink that my throat has opened the tap first!
Beto Coco Brewing has released a new IPA. According to the brewery's official Instagram post, the new label this time is 'SUNDAY PACE (Sunday Pace)'. The post, made at 18:39 on March 12, 2026, announced 'on tap' and 'cans available,' indicating a rollout aimed at both restaurant service and takeaway.
The beer specs are Style: DDH IPA / ABV: 7.0% / IBU: 17. The hops used are Nelson Sauvin and Strata, and the beer is described as having an aroma reminiscent of white grape juice, grassy nuances, and a 'clean, fresh, juicy' impression. In terms of numbers, it is designed to keep bitterness from becoming overly sharp while emphasizing aroma and juiciness.
Beto Coco Brewing is a brewery that has been gaining a stronger presence in Fukui's craft beer scene. It reportedly started in Echizen City in 2019 and moved to Awara City in 2024, where it opened its own taproom, 'Beto Coco.' This new release is also drawing attention as a beer that continues the brewery's approach of carefully highlighting hop-derived aroma.
If you come across it locally, it is worth drinking while paying attention first to how the aroma rises and then to how the impression changes as the temperature shifts. If there is a can version, a comparison tasting by opening another one later would also be interesting.
