MugiWhite-grape-like beer? And it is 7.5% ABV—that sounds pretty strong, doesn’t it?
Hop BroThat is what makes Peren interesting: its smooth texture and refreshing finish are designed to keep the strength from feeling too heavy.
MugiWhat is that? And what does DDH mean? It sounds like a beer-world secret code!
Hop BroDDH means double dry hopping. Hops are added generously after fermentation to bring out expressive aroma rather than extra bitterness.
MugiWow! So it is an aroma traffic jam—white grape and tropical fruit all at once?
Hop BroExactly. It uses Nectaron, Nelson Sauvin, and DynaBoost Mosaic in a low-temperature steep, plus Citra Quantum extract.
MugiLow-temperature steeping? You suddenly sound like a science teacher! Is that a no-boil hop method?
Hop BroPretty close. Think of gently steeping hops at a lower temperature to draw out aroma; that also supports its mild 20 IBU bitterness.
MugiPeren is such a cute name too! Named after a sheep breed—that feels completely on-brand for Pecora Beer.
Hop BroIt comes from Perendale, a sheep breed born in New Zealand. The sheep motif and NZ hops make a neat story in one glass.
MugiJuicy aroma, easy finish, and a sheep name—cheers at Pecora Beer Kitchen sounds perfect already!
Hop BroTheir taproom pours up to nine house beers, so comparing Peren with others would be fun. Tonight, I want a refreshing IPA!
Pecora Beer, a small craft brewery based in Asao Ward, Kawasaki, has announced its latest beer, “#060 Peren.” The beer is a DDH NZ IPA with an ABV of 7.5% and an IBU of 20.
Peren is described as a pale, hazy IPA with expressive hop aromas reminiscent of tropical fruit and white grapes. The brewery used Nectaron, Nelson Sauvin, and DynaBoost Mosaic, steeping them at a low temperature to develop the beer’s aromatic profile. During the second dry-hopping stage, Pecora Beer also added “Citra Quantum,” a hop-derived liquid aroma extract developed by Abstrax Hops.
The resulting beer is designed to offer a juicy aroma, smooth mouthfeel, and restrained bitterness. Despite its 7.5% alcohol content, the relatively dry finish is intended to make the beer feel light, crisp, and easy to drink. Its profile brings together the aromatic intensity associated with New Zealand-style IPA and a clean, refreshing finish.
The name Peren comes from Perendale, a sheep breed developed in New Zealand. The reference fits naturally with Pecora Beer’s sheep-themed identity.
Pecora Beer began brewing in July 2024 in Asao Ward, Kawasaki. Its founder, who also holds a beer judge qualification, brews beers primarily in clean and bold American styles. The brewery operates Pecora Beer Kitchen, a taproom attached to the brewery where visitors can enjoy up to nine house beers alongside food.
