Beto Coco Brewing in Awara, Fukui, has announced a new IPA, WALKIN’. In its Instagram post, the brewery noted that the beer is now on tap and said canned sales will start on August 27 (Thursday).

The name suggests a beer made for moving through town, and the flavor direction follows that idea: the brewery describes it as piney, grassy, and fruity, with a crisp bitter finish. It is positioned as an IPA with a clear hop presence rather than a soft or heavily sweet profile.

The published specs are Style: IPA, ABV 6.5%, IBU 37. The grist is Pilsner malt, and the hop bill includes Galaxy, Mosaic, Strata, and Mosaic Cryo. For fans of hop-forward Japanese craft beer, this release is one to watch for its balance of brightness and bitterness.
