Hop BroToday's topic is 444 BEYOND's new drop. On July 7, they brought in four canned beers from Kyoto Brewing, and the lineup is built for summer.
MugiWait, four Kyoto Brewing cans at once? In a standing beer spot like that, I'd get pulled in right after work!
Hop BroFirst up is Summer Whim 2026, a Session IPA at 4.5% ABV. It gives white grape and lime vibes, with a light and breezy finish.
MugiWhoa, but Session IPA means what exactly? Hoppy but light? That sounds like dessert after leg day!
Hop BroThat's the fun part: low ABV, big aroma. You still get hop character and bitterness, but it's designed to stay easy and drinkable.
MugiOkay, then I have to ask about Lactose Addiction. That name alone sounds like my brain and an ice cream truck are negotiating!
Hop BroThat one is an Oat Cream IPA, 6.5% ABV, made with Totopia Brewery. It uses lactose for a richer texture and leans into orange creamsicle citrus.
MugiHold on, lactose in beer? My brain just pictured someone pouring milk into a pint and calling it science!
Hop BroLactose doesn't ferment out easily, so it leaves a richer mouthfeel behind. Basically, it adds creamy body and lets the citrus aroma feel softer and rounder.
MugiHah, got it. Then New Six-Day Weekend is next, right? The name alone is threatening my work ethic.
Hop BroYep, it's a Belgian Session IPA at 4.5%, and the tropical aroma is the key. Then there's Sunrise Highway, a Summer Wheat Ale with a bright, refreshing hop lift.
MugiAnd Sunrise Highway is in the mix too? With service from 4:00 to 10:00 p.m. and last call at 9:30, I totally want to compare all four at 444 BEYOND.
Hop BroSame here, I want to drink through all four. One round at 444 BEYOND and you could map out Kyoto Brewing's whole summer mood.
