Hop BroFive Black Tide beers from Kesennuma have lined up at Hirano-ya Saketen / Beer Stand Hirano-ya in Shinsen. From West Coast IPA to Double IPA and Hazy IPA, this is a pretty exciting arrival for IPA fans.
MugiWait, five new arrivals!? With that many, I wouldn't know where to start and my eyes would just start spinning!
Hop BroStart with Pray for 3.11, which is brewed every year to coincide with March 11. It's a 7.5% West Coast IPA, and the tropical aroma plus firm bitterness really say, "this is it."
MugiA West Coast IPA is the one with crisp, clearly defined bitterness, right? It sounds like they've bottled up the sea breeze in a glass, and just imagining it makes my mouth tighten up!
Hop BroExactly. It's a style where the hop character really stands out. And the next one, KAIJIN DOUBLE IPA, comes in at 8.0%, with berry-like and tropical aromas layered over a bitterness that finishes the drink.
MugiEven the name, Sea God, sounds powerful! I thought a berry-scented IPA might be a little sweet, but it's smart to finish it off properly with bitterness.
Hop BroThe nice thing is that it doesn't lean too far into sweetness. And Boost Shot 10.5% really turns the malt and hops all the way up, making it a seriously punchy beer... no, a ridiculously dependable one.
Mugi10.5% means monster-level drinkability! That's not just "I drank beer" anymore, that's "the hops put their arm around my shoulders"!
Hop BroAnd the collaboration slot is interesting too. Orange Splash Hazy IPA is made with Gorilla Brewing, and its orange-and-coconut juiciness really comes to the front.
MugiOrange and coconut!? That's extra tropical, and I can already picture that thick, juicy Hazy IPA feel!
Hop BroThe last one is HOYA BOYA INFINITY. It's a collaboration with Hoya Boya, Kesennuma's sea-child mascot, and the Mosaic plus New Zealand hops bring out aromas like passion fruit and mango.
MugiNow the information is so dense my stomach is growling! I want to put together an IPA tasting set and bounce back and forth between bitterness lovers and fruitiness lovers!
Hop BroHirano-ya Saketen / Beer Stand Hirano-ya is both a liquor store and a beer pub, so being able to choose while enjoying a drink inside is the best part.
MugiIt's decided! If I drink and compare in Shinsen while enjoying Black Tide's range, I might never make it home tonight!
