Hop BroI want to talk about the scooter boy relaunch from Odawara Garage Brewing today.
MugiWait, a brewery in Odawara is doing a throwback recipe revival? That sounds weirdly emotional and very fun!
Hop BroExactly. Odawara Garage Brewing in Odawara, Kanagawa reworked a beer based on the recipe they brewed when they first opened.
MugiOkay, but when you say hazy session IPA, it suddenly sounds like I need safety goggles.
Hop BroIt sounds technical, but it basically means a cloudy, easy IPA with bright hop aroma and a lighter, more crushable body.
MugiAhh, got it. At 3.8%, it sounds dangerously drinkable, which is great for me and slightly worrying for my self-control.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Even with a breezy name, the real question is how sharp the hops feel in the finished beer.
MugiHold on, the recipe sat around for a while? That’s more mature than me and probably better organized too.
Hop BroThe brewer’s taste changed, so they shelved it for a bit, then after the third anniversary it became a second shot in time.
MugiAnd then they ask "Have we grown?"? That’s not a beer post, that’s an emotional ambush with carbonation.
Hop BroRight, especially if you knew the older version. You get to taste how the original recipe was updated into a restarted glass that reflects the brewery now.
MugiThat settles it, I want the taste of Odawara with a glass of scooter boy right now. Light, aromatic, and full of story? I’m in.
Odawara Garage Brewing in Odawara, Kanagawa, has rereleased its home-brewed beer, “scooter boy.” The beer is based on a recipe the brewery made around its opening, but it had been set aside as the brewer's preferences changed. After passing the three-year mark, the team decided it was time to take on the recipe again.
The beer is a hazy session IPA with 3.8% ABV. It promises the lightness expected from a session beer while still leaving room for IPA-like hop character and the softer texture associated with hazy styles. The post also asks whether it has “grown,” which makes this feel less like a simple new release and more like a return to an old idea from the brewery's current point of view.
As a local brewery in Odawara, this release says a lot about the brewery's ongoing direction. Beers like this show how a recipe can evolve with the people making it. For anyone visiting Odawara and looking for a beer that reflects the brewery itself, “scooter boy” is a clear one to watch.
