Miyazaki Hideji Beer 30th Anniversary Collaboration 3-Can Set and Stone First Arrival at Beer Tsukasa
The beer pub "Beer Tsukasa" in Uji, Kyoto, released its May 29 arrival information. The lineup includes Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s 30th anniversary 3-can set, Stone Brewing’s first-arrival West Coast IPA, and Nara Brewing’s KIP on draft, bringing together both bottles and draft beer.
Hop BroThe new arrivals at Beer Tsukasa in Uji, Kyoto are pretty hot on May 29. With Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s 30th anniversary 3-can set and Stone Brewing’s first arrival coming in too, the shelves are basically a festival.
MugiWhat! Only six 3-can sets? That few!? It sounds like it’s going to be a fight to the finish. I’d be kneeling in front of the store already!
Hop BroAnd the contents are great. You get Taiyo no Weizen in a collaboration with Moji Port Retro, West Coast IPA from B.M.B Brewery, and Hazy IPA from NOVORU Brewing. It’s a lineup worthy of an anniversary celebration.
MugiWhoa! But just the names Weizen and IPA already feel so different that my head is spinning. What exactly is different about them?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, Weizen has the softness of wheat, while IPA is a style for enjoying hop aroma and bitterness. Add a Hazy IPA into the mix, and the aroma becomes more airy, while the mouthfeel leans smoother.
MugiI see! So each one has its own personality. A tasting set sounds fun not just because they’re lined up together, but because it feels like they’re having a conversation!
Hop BroAnd Stone Brewing’s first arrival is West Coast IPA. It sounds like it’s built to be more drinkable rather than pushing things to the extreme, which makes it a good choice even for IPA beginners.
MugiWait, I always thought Stone was more of a big-hitting brand! If it’s that drinkable, maybe even I, who’s a little scared of bitterness, could handle it?
Hop BroExactly. And since Kuri Kuro is also available as a regular bottle, there’s something for fans of dark beers too. If you want to enjoy roastiness and depth, this one is not to be missed.
MugiThey even have a dark beer too? That’s way too broad a lineup! And if there’s Nara Brewing’s KIP on draft as well, I’m seriously not sure what to start with today.
Hop BroKIP is a wet-hopped pilsner made with freshly picked hops, so if you compare it with a Helles, the difference comes through clearly. If Uji has this much in bottles and on draft, we basically have to have another one.
MugiYeah, this is perfect for the end of May! I’m curious about Miyazaki Hideji’s anniversary set, Stone, and Nara Brewing too, so now I really want us to go out drinking together!
At "Beer Tsukasa" in Uji, Kyoto, a fresh batch of new arrivals was lined up all at once. Business hours are Friday, May 29 from 4:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., and as a bottle shop, it looks like it will be a lively day around the shelves as well.
The main highlight this time is the 3-can set commemorating Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s 30th anniversary. It includes three beers: the collaboration with Moji Port Retro Beer, "Taiyo no Weizen"; the collaboration with B.M.B Brewery, "West Coast IPA"; and the collaboration with NOVORU Brewing, "Hazy IPA". Only 6 sets have arrived. It is a set that shows the connections between breweries in Kyushu, and it also gives you the fun of taking home a beer that celebrates the anniversary.
In addition, Stone Brewing has made its first arrival with West Coast IPA. The post describes it as a recipe that emphasizes drinkability rather than going all-out aggressively, and notes that the price is easy to pick up as well. It is an approachable beer not only for IPA fans, but also for people looking for something that is not simply a stone-hard wall of bitterness.
As a regular bottled beer, Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s Kuri Kuro is also available. For anyone seeking dark beer flavors, this is another option not to miss.
On draft, Nara Brewing’s KIP is newly tapped. It is a wet-hopped hoppy pilsner made with freshly picked hops, and if you compare it with the shop’s Helles, the differences in direction should be easy to notice.
If you are looking for craft beer in Uji, this lineup, which lets you follow both bottles and draft in one visit, is hard to overlook. It is a setup that lets you enjoy the end of May both by taking beer home and by drinking in the shop.
