Awa Store -OUR STORE-, a beer pub in Noboricho, Hiroshima, is featuring Himitsu Beer’s Suika IPA. The 5.5% ABV watermelon IPA is described with aromas of watermelon, melon, and berry.
Hop BroToday's headline is that Hiroshima's Awa Store -OUR STORE- just tapped Himitsu Beer from Ise, Mie, with Suika IPA arriving.
MugiWait, a watermelon IPA? That name alone makes me want to raid a fridge!
Hop BroYep, and it's a 5.5% ABV Watermelon IPA, built to feel easygoing even in the summer heat.
MugiWhoa, but I thought IPA meant bitter. How does light on the palate fit into that?
Hop BroThat is the fun part. Instead of dropping a bitterness bomb, this one has a lighter body so the aroma gets the first punch.
MugiHold on, what is body? Are these beers doing core workouts now?
Hop BroBasically it means how heavy it feels in your mouth. This one stays breezy, then opens with watermelon and melon, plus a berry-like note floating behind it.
MugiOh, nice. Himitsu Beer started in Ise in 2022, and that line about creating a place to belong is kind of lovely.
Hop BroExactly, and Awa Store -OUR STORE- matches that vibe too. It has this drop-in standing bar feel where you can drink there or buy some to go.
MugiThat combo is dangerous in the best way. But if the post warns about possible sell-outs, I am not strolling in casually anymore.
Hop BroRight, we check stock first and then go. A summer fruit IPA like this in Hiroshima sounds way too easy to order immediately.
