HAZY LABO updates its 14-tap lineup in Shinsayama, adding Kveik Yeastery collab Nodic Zing
HAZY LABO in Shinsayama, Saitama has published its latest tap list. The lineup includes the Kveik Yeastery collaboration Nodic Zing plus 13 other Hazy beers, ranging from light 3% pours to richer 8.5% versions.
Hop BroToday's topic is HAZY LABO's 14 taps. They refreshed the list in Shin-Sayama, and it's packed with experimental Hazy IPAs.
MugiWhat! One minute from the station and you can walk into that lineup? That's not a train stop, that's a hop warp gate!
Hop BroHAZY LABO is an experimental HAZY x IPA brewery, and they're serious about exploring low-ABV Hazy beer. This list runs from the 3% range up to 8.5%.
MugiOh wow! From easy-drinking to rich means even I can jump in. So which beer is the headliner this time?
Hop BroThe centerpiece is Nodic Zing. It's a collab with Kveik Yeastery, built around mandarin, lime, orange, and a touch of guava in a calm, layered Hazy.
MugiHold on, Kveik Yeastery sounds like a spell. Is kveik a beer move you unlock at level 20?
Hop BroImportant point: it's a Norwegian farmhouse yeast. It ferments in a way that can push fruity aromas, so the yeast itself helps shape the character.
MugiWhoa, so yeast builds the aroma too? I thought hops were doing all the showy work. That's some serious hidden-MVP energy.
Hop BroAnd the rest of the board has Peacherin and Nelson Sauvin and more, so the whole 14-tap list feels like a tasting lab notebook.
MugiYikes, made for side-by-side tasting is a dangerous phrase. I'd be three pours deep calling it "research."
Hop BroAnd there's Kiwi Tropics coming soon, so the speed of the updates makes you want to keep chasing the list. Shin-Sayama is not messing around.
MugiNow I totally want one. It feels like a Hazy IPA day, so let's start with Nodic Zing and do this properly!
