Hop BroSankaku Beer Works in Kagoshima has received its new tenan - NZ IPA. This one is worth watching!
MugiWait, does NZ IPA mean a New Zealand trip inside a beer? Travel by hops sounds amazing!
Hop BroThat is pretty close. It means an IPA featuring New Zealand-style hops, so you can enjoy aromas associated with their origin.
MugiWhat?! I thought IPA was just bitter, grown-up beer. Do hop aromas really vary that much?
Hop BroThey really do. New Zealand hops can bring citrus and tropical notes, and some suggest white grapes or herbs too.
MugiWhite grapes and herbs?! A fruit basket and a garden just crashed into my beer! So much aroma!
Hop BroHops give beer its aroma and bitterness. The variety and timing can transform the bitterness-aroma balance completely.
MugiSo which hops are in tenan, and how bitter is it? My taste buds are ready to study!
Hop BroThat is still part of the suspense. The announcement has not shared ABV, IBU, or hop varieties; full specs are pending. Check official social media or retailers.
MugiWow! They use clear spring water from Kawabe, and brew at TANOKAMI STATION, a repurposed school. Even the story sounds delicious!
Hop BroExactly. Sankaku Beer Works also makes Jadd-IPA, so I want to see its NZ-hop expression. I would love pairing with Kawabe food, too.
MugiIt is settled! If we find tenan - NZ IPA, let’s sniff those bright aromas and toast. A beer I want now!
