MugiWhat! Fireworks beer already sounds like full summer-festival energy! Tamsan is that pub where tracking the guest taps is half the fun, right?
Hop BroExactly. This time it's Fireworks IPA 6.5% from open air. It's an IPA, and since it's a seasonal guest beer at Tamsan, the rule is basically: if you see it, drink it.
MugiNice, but the second I read dry hopping, my brain starts hearing science-class music. What does that even mean?
Hop BroIt just means adding hops after fermentation to load up the aroma. This batch uses Dolcita and Azacca for notes of lychee, orange cream, coconut, and a pineapple-like tropical punch.
MugiWhat is that, a fruit stand in a glass? How is this still an IPA and not dessert wearing a beer costume?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It doesn't make the beer sugary, it gives the aroma more shape and lift. On the hot side they also use Mosaic and Idaho 7 to build contour and depth.
MugiHold on, hot side and Dynaboost both sound like special attack names. Is this brewing or an anime boss fight?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, the hot side is the heated part of the process where you build the aroma's foundation. Dynaboost is a concentrated hop format that makes kettle-stage design easier, so the smell keeps evolving from first pour to last sip.
MugiOhhh, so it starts flashy and keeps changing as you drink. That's basically a fireworks aroma show, which makes the name perfect.
Hop BroExactly. Tamsan is great for following guest beers and really paying attention to hop character, so right now this is must-drink for IPA fans. Hearing about it makes me want a pint too.
MugiSame. open air's summer IPA at Tamsan sounds way too good to leave as a story. Let's go drink it.
Tamusan, the beer pub in Tokyo's Tomigaya area, has put open air's `Fireworks IPA 6.5%` on tap as a guest beer. The bar announced the new tap on Instagram on August 5, confirming that the annual fireworks-themed beer has joined the lineup.
`Fireworks IPA` is a seasonal IPA brewed by open air. For this release, the brewery dry-hopped with `Dolcita`, bringing notes associated with lychee, orange cream, and coconut, alongside `Azacca`, which adds a tropical, pineapple-like impression. On the hot side, `Mosaic` and `Idaho 7 Dynaboost` were added to build a layered aroma with more depth.
Tamusan is located at 1-7-9 Tomigaya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, and operates as a beer pub. Its guest-beer setup makes it a fitting place to follow rotating taps and compare hop-driven beers side by side. A beer like `Fireworks IPA`, built from several hop layers, should show well both on the nose and as it opens up in the glass. For IPA drinkers, it is a tap worth noting while it is available at Tamusan.
