MOKICHI CRAFTBEER to Serve Fresh Hop IPA Randall Beer on Aug. 29-30
MOKICHI CRAFTBEER in Fujisawa will offer a two-day Randall beer event on August 29 and 30. The base beer is Shonan Beer’s Fresh Hop IPA, run through fresh Japanese hop Shinshu Wase for a more aromatic, more bitter pour.
Hop BroI want to talk about a special pour at MOKICHI CRAFTBEER in Fujisawa, available only on August 29 and 30.
MugiWhat! Only two days? A limited randall beer already sounds like something I need to chase down!
Hop BroThe base beer is Shonan Beer’s Fresh Hop IPA, and they run it through fresh domestic hops called Shinshu Wase.
MugiHold on, what does run it through hops even mean? Like brewing tea, but with beer?
Hop BroThat’s actually pretty close. A randall filter is a device packed with hops, and the beer passes through right before serving, adding an extra layer of aroma.
MugiNo way! So the beer transforms at the last second? That’s basically evolving in the glass!
Hop BroExactly. The system was popularized by Dogfish Head, and this version turns the IPA into something like a Super Fresh Hop IPA impression.
MugiWow! If the same Shonan Beer changes that much, now I seriously want a side-by-side tasting!
Hop BroAnd the pub itself is a classic spot near Fujisawa Station’s south exit, with 12 taps and food like NY-style pizza, so beer and food pairing is part of the fun too.
MugiThat settles it. I want to go on August 29 or 30 and taste that shifting hop aroma with a slice of pizza!
A two-day special pour
MOKICHI CRAFTBEER will serve its monthly Randall beer on August 29 and 30. The base is Shonan Beer’s Fresh Hop IPA, then fresh Japanese hop Shinshu Wase is passed through the Randall filter to create what the post describes as Super Fresh Hop IPA.
The Randall filter was developed by the U.S. craft brewery Dogfish Head as a device for adding aroma and flavor through ingredients such as hops and fruit. Unlike a recipe change at the tank or keg stage, this is a last-step transformation at the point of pouring, which makes the difference easier to feel in the glass.
The venue itself is a classic beer pub near Fujisawa Station’s south exit, with 12 taps on constant rotation. Its menu centers on beer-friendly dishes, including NY-style pizza, grilled and roasted plates, and small bites. Tasting the standard Shonan Beer pour alongside the Randall-treated version should make the change in aroma and hop character especially clear.
