Two New Taps


At WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE, a craft beer specialty shop in Inage Kaigan, the two new beers tapped were Ise Kadoya Beer Hop Nyaon 11th Fleet and Firestone Walker DBA. Because the shop holds a general liquor retail license, it offers not only drinks by the glass inside the venue but also takeout of bottles and cans.

Ise Kadoya Beer Hop Nyaon 11th Fleet


This DDH Hazy IPA is the 11th release in the "Hop Nyaon" series, with ABV 7.0% and IBU 50. Galaxy brings aromas of tropical fruit and passion fruit, while Enigma adds white grape, berry, and spice notes. With the bright character typical of Southern Hemisphere hops coming to the fore, this is a beer to savor for its rich aroma.

Firestone Walker DBA


The other new tap is DBA, a British Pale Ale and one of Firestone Walker’s flagship beers since the brewery’s founding. At ABV 5.0% and IBU 30, it offers the gentle aroma typical of English bitters, along with a nuance reminiscent of French bread. Layers of black tea, vanilla, citrus, and toffee come together in a beer with plenty of body that remains easy to keep drinking.

The Day’s Lineup


Also on tap that day were GUINNESS, KIRIN HEARTLAND, Hoegaarden White, Revision DIPA, Harland West Coast IPA, Firestone Walker Union Jack, and Karl Strauss Boat Shoes IPA. From hop-forward IPAs to easy-drinking pale ales, stouts, and white ales, the selection was broad and made it easy to choose according to taste.

As the humid heat intensifies, it seems like a good time either to switch gears with an aromatic hazy IPA or to settle in with a balanced pale ale. If you’re looking for craft beer in Inage Kaigan, this is one spot worth remembering.
