Four craft beers from Repubrew in Numazu, Shizuoka, have arrived at Izuya Shoten in Nakanobu, Tokyo. The lineup includes SABRO SESSION HAZY IPA, HEARTS UP! IPA GO, 和ノ濁, and 69IPA, offering a range of personalities from hazy styles to classic IPA.
Hop BroI heard that four beers have arrived at Izuya Shoten in Nakanobu, and Repubrew from Numazu, Shizuoka, really came through with a great lineup.
MugiWhat, four kinds? Beer-tasting heaven? If that's the case, they might all be gone before I can even decide!
Hop BroThe lineup is SABRO SESSION HAZY IPA, HEARTS UP! IPA GO, 和ノ濁, and 69IPA, neatly covering everything from hazy to classic IPA.
MugiWhat even is hazy? And session means it's designed to be light, right?
Hop BroExactly. SABRO SESSION HAZY IPA has a coconut-like aroma and a light mouthfeel, the kind that makes you want to say it's perfect after a bath.
MugiWhat, that's amazing! I'm curious about the pink one too. If it looks this lively, it really lifts your mood!
Hop BroHEARTS UP! IPA GO has the limited-edition feel of a PLAZA collaboration, and it doesn't just look good - it also has proper bitterness, so it's like cute but substantial.
MugiThe name 和ノ濁 is interesting, and sake yeast sounds complicated... does the character of the yeast really change that much?
Hop BroIt changes a lot. 和ノ濁 blends fruitiness with Japanese nuances, and the article even mentioned that it pairs well with sashimi.
MugiThen the last one has to be 69IPA! If I hear it has hop punch, I want to try bitterness dead center!
Hop BroExactly. 69IPA is one of Repubrew's signature beers, a standard IPA that really lets you taste the hop punch. If you drink these slowly in small pours at Izuya Shoten, you might not want to go home today.
MugiIf you say that, I want to go! Today I'm the type to head out for a drink thinking I'll have just one glass!
Hop BroThat's how it goes in the end. Faced with Repubrew's four beers, even I, the shop owner, want to go for all of them, and I just want to raise a glass right now.
At the beer pub Izuya Shoten in Nakanobu, Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo, four beers from the Numazu, Shizuoka brewery Repubrew were featured. The shop also offers paid tastings, and its close, intimate atmosphere makes it a good place to take your time and enjoy small pours.
The four bottles on this visit had clearly distinct aromas and flavor ranges. From hazy to IPA to one brewed with sake yeast, the lineup made the fun of side-by-side tasting easy to appreciate.
1. SABRO SESSION HAZY IPA
A session hazy with a sweet coconut-like aroma and a light, easy-drinking finish. The article describes it as something you could "gulp down after a bath," making it a fit for people looking for a hazy that isn't too heavy.
2. HEARTS UP! IPA GO
A limited-edition beer with a PLAZA collaboration feel. Its pink packaging catches the eye, and because it still has the firm bitterness you expect from an IPA, it offers both visual flair and satisfying drinkability.
3. 和ノ濁（SAKE YEAST HAZY IPA）
A Hazy IPA brewed with sake yeast, layering Japanese nuance over its fruity character. The article also mentions how well it pairs with sashimi, making it an intriguing choice as a food-pairing beer.
4. 69IPA
A staple IPA presented as one of Repubrew's signature beers. With a strong hop punch and clearly defined bitterness and aroma, it's a straightforward American IPA. If you like beer, it's one you'll want to try first.
Izuya Shoten's appeal is that you can slowly enjoy these distinctive guest beers in small quantities. For anyone in Tokyo who wants to follow Repubrew's lineup or compare IPAs side by side, this is not-to-miss arrival news.
