TEMPEST tapped at hangout, Taproom Jam vol.1 set for March 15
At Hiroshima beer pub "hangout," the new Double IPA "TEMPEST," the second release from the Kuon recipe series, was tapped on March 12. It is a beer built around malt richness and aromas derived from NZ Cascade. The venue also announced an in-house event, "Taproom Jam vol.1," to be held on March 15.
Hop BroAt the Hiroshima Shintenchi beer pub hangout, the second release from the Kuon recipe series has been tapped. It’s called TEMPEST, and even the name alone has a stormy feel to it.
MugiWhoa! TEMPEST tapped sounds so cool! But doesn't "tempest" sound like some kind of powerful magic spell?
Hop BroThat vibe is exactly right. It's a Double IPA with 7.5% ABV. The hops are NZ Cascade, Cryo Simcoe, Cryo Mosaic, and Chinook, so it's built like a lineup designed to layer aroma on aroma.
MugiWait, what is Cryo? It sounds like a frozen hop superweapon. Is it a secret weapon in the beer world?
Hop BroGood question. Cryo is a type of hop product that concentrates the useful compounds, so it's easier to bring out aroma and bitterness efficiently. This one is designed to make the aromatic depth stand out.
MugiOhhh! And there was something about malt too, right? Hearing caramel-like aroma makes it sound sweet, but it's an IPA? That's wild!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. The post describes peach- and pear-like aromatics, followed by a sharp bitterness at the finish, so even with its darker-leaning balance, the goal is to keep it easy to drink.
MugiWhat? So it hits hard, but it's still easy to drink? A beer with real body and richness sounds amazing.
Hop BroExactly. And the NOW ON TAP lineup is pretty strong too. With GHOST NOTE#4, SIDE BY SIDE, WIZARDBORN NOIR, NINE HAZE, MIZUHO, ISOTONIC, and SUCKER PUNCH#3, you can change your strategy based on your mood.
MugiWhoa, that tap list is stacked! If they've got hazy beers, stouts, and sours, one pint is definitely not enough!
Hop BroAnd on March 15, there's also Taproom Jam vol.1. It features all-you-can-drink draft beer, so you can enjoy it in a totally different atmosphere from the usual service day. This is the kind of event where you'll leave wanting one more pour.
MugiWow, now I really want a drink! This weekend's pint is TEMPEST for sure, hop bro!
The beer pub hangout in Shintenchi, Hiroshima, announced a new tap along with its March 12 service update. This time on tap is TEMPEST, the second release in the Kuon recipe series. It is a Double IPA with 7.5% ABV. The hops used are NZ Cascade, Cryo Simcoe, Cryo Mosaic, and Chinook, creating a design that layers aromatic depth over the framework of a classic IPA.
The post highlights aromas reminiscent of caramelized malt, as well as peach- and pear-like aromatics, with a crisp bitterness that lingers toward the finish. The aim is to balance a solid malt backbone with easy drinkability. While it gives a darker impression, it is positioned as a beer designed to be sipped slowly, making it a noteworthy pick for IPA fans.
The posted NOW ON TAP lineup is:
- TEMPEST (Double IPA)
- GHOST NOTE#4 (TDH Hazy IPA)
- SIDE BY SIDE (TDH Double Hazy IPA)
- WIZARDBORN NOIR (Imperial Stout)
- NINE HAZE (Fruit Hazy IPA)
- MIZUHO (DDH Saison)
- ISOTONIC (Sour Ale with Grape)
- SUCKER PUNCH#3 (Apple Pie Sour)
This lineup ranges widely from hazy styles to stout and sour beers. It is a tap list that works whether you are in the mood for a hop-forward pour or want to lean into sour or heavy styles.
In addition, Taproom Jam vol.1 is scheduled for March 15, from 15:00 to 20:00. Centered around all-you-can-drink draft beer, it should offer a different atmosphere from a regular business day. For the latest serving status, it is safest to check social media before visiting.
