BLACK TIDE BREWING Releases Collaborative "Heaven’s Age" with Teenage Brewing and Core Lager "Days Over" at the Same Time
BLACK TIDE BREWING in Kesennuma, Miyagi, will simultaneously release a new collaboration with Teenage Brewing, "Heaven’s Age," and its core Lager, "Days Over," on March 26. Online sales begin at 8:00 PM on March 26, and the beers will be available in the taproom from 4:00 PM on March 27.
Hop BroToday I’m talking about a double release from BLACK TIDE BREWING in Kesennuma, Miyagi. A collab with Teenage Brewing and a core Lager side by side is pretty hot, right?
MugiWait, two beers at once!? And it’s a collab plus a core beer? That’s way too generous!
Hop BroThe collaboration is called "Heaven’s Age," and the style is a Milky Hazy IPA. They use milk and oat protein to give it a soft mouthfeel, which is the interesting part.
MugiMilk in beer!? That’s like a milkshake of the beer world and my brain can’t keep up!
Hop BroExactly. The skill is in bringing out that milky character without making it cloyingly sweet. On top of that, tropical aromas stack up, and it finishes with a solid bitterness.
MugiThat sounds amazing! They’re using a lot of hops too, right? Just hearing Citra and Mosaic already sounds delicious!
Hop BroThe malt bill is Pilsner, Oat, and Wheat, and the hops are Citra (Cryo), Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic, and Rakau. In other words, it has deep layers of aroma while still feeling milky and enveloping on the palate.
MugiCryo again! What is that, a freezer fairy!? What on earth is a Cryo hop?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it’s a material that concentrates hop aroma compounds. So even a small amount makes a strong impression, and the density of aroma goes way up.
MugiOhhh! So the other one, "Days Over," is a beer I’d want to keep on hand? I love something easy to drink!
Hop BroExactly. This is the latest batch of their core Lager, and the key point is the bright aroma of New Zealand hops. If you drink it after Heaven’s Age, it really settles you down.
MugiAnd the ONLINE SHOP opens at 8:00 PM on March 26, while the TAP ROOM starts at 4:00 PM on March 27. It makes me want to plan ahead for some spring outdoor drinking!
Hop BroBeing able to drink it fresh at BLACK TIDE BREWING in Kesennuma is great too. Starting with Heaven’s Age for the punch, then ending with Days Over to cool off, the tasting order is just perfect.
MugiWhoa, now I really want to drink it! Today I’d start with Heaven’s Age and finish with Days Over!
Two new beers on March 26
BLACK TIDE BREWING, a brewpub in Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture, has announced new releases for March 26. This time, two beers are arriving at once: the collaborative beer "Heaven’s Age" with Teenage Brewing, and the latest batch of the core Lager, "Days Over."
Sales begin at the ONLINE SHOP at 8:00 PM on Thursday, March 26 and at the TAP ROOM at 4:00 PM on Friday, March 27. Released just as spring is starting to feel more real, the post also includes a message encouraging people to enjoy it during the season when cherry-blossom viewing and outdoor drinking feel especially good.
"Heaven’s Age," a collaboration with Teenage Brewing
"Heaven’s Age" is a collab beer with Teenage Brewing from Tokigawa, Saitama. It is a milky Hazy IPA made with milk and oat protein, with the style listed as Milky Hazy IPA and an ABV of 6.5%.
The malt bill uses Pilsner, Oat, and Wheat, while the hops are Citra (Cryo), Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic, and Rakau. The post describes it as having a lightly milky mouthfeel, layered with tropical and fruity aromas, and finishing with a firm bitterness. It is a beer that balances softness and punch, making it appealing both to those who want a heavily aromatic IPA and to those looking for something a little different.
Core Lager "Days Over"
The simultaneously released "Days Over" is the latest batch of BLACK TIDE BREWING's core Lager. It is characterized by the bright aroma of New Zealand hops and is said to finish light and easy-drinking. It is presented as the kind of lager you would want to keep stocked in the fridge for everyday drinking, and comparing it with the collaboration beer should make the differences even easier to appreciate.
What it means to drink it in Kesennuma
BLACK TIDE BREWING is a brewpub located in Minamimachi, Kesennuma, Miyagi. One of its charms is being able to taste freshly brewed beer in a direct-from-the-source space that reflects the brewery's personality. Being able to release a limited collaboration beer and a new batch of a core beer side by side, as they do here, is also a moment where you can feel the brewery's current state as it is.
At this time of year, right at the start of spring, both a fragrant Hazy IPA and an easy-drinking Lager feel especially appealing. It might be nice to start with "Heaven’s Age" and enjoy the collaboration's unique layers, then wind down with "Days Over."
