HOP MAN in Chigasaki taps Noroshi Jozo's Mild Wheather
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Chigasaki, has announced a new tap from Noroshi Jozo: Mild Wheather, an English Dark Mild at 3% ABV. The beer is built for a calm, malt-forward pint with gentle roast character and an easy pace.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Mild Wheather on tap at HOP MAN in Chigasaki, a fresh pour from Noroshi Brewing with a very classic feel.
MugiWait, English Dark Mild sounds like a rainy old pub in a glass. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s only 3% ABV, so the idea is slow, easy drinking with toasty malt and a gentle roast instead of heavy strength.
MugiA dark beer that’s easy to sip? That sounds like a knight in armor doing a light jog.
Hop BroAnd the specs even mention CO2 at 2.4-2.5, which tells you they wanted the mouthfeel light and not overly fizzy.
MugiWhat is that! CO2 at 2.4-2.5 suddenly feels like science class. What does it change?
Hop BroBasically, it’s a guide to carbonation level, so the bubbles stay calm and let the toast, roast, and barley-tea-like notes come through softly.
MugiOhhh, so this is not hop fireworks at all, it’s malt taking center stage and a beer you can really settle into!
Hop BroExactly. With Maris Otter, Crystal Teak, Black Malt, Carafa Special Type III, plus Fuggle and Goldings, they’re aiming for true Dark Mild style.
MugiSo the name is gentle, but the recipe is serious. It’s basically elegant black tea energy with beer behavior!
Hop BroThat description is ridiculous, but not wrong. If HOP MAN has this pouring, then I want a pint right now, and you clearly do too.
Tap update
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Jukkenzaka, Chigasaki, has put Noroshi Jozo's `Mild Wheather` on tap. It is an `English Dark Mild` with `3% ABV` and a CO2 level of `2.4-2.5`, pointing to a light, easy-drinking profile.
What to expect
The recipe uses `Maris Otter` as the base malt, with `Crystal Teak`, `Black Malt`, and `Carafa Special Type III` layered in. Hops include `Fuggle`, `Goldings`, and `Barbe Rouge`. The post describes aromas of toasted grain and tea-like malt character, with a dark appearance that still drinks surprisingly light.
Built from earlier versions
The brewery says the beer was rebuilt from a previous Dark Mild called `Mild Whether`, while also drawing on experience from earlier work such as `Clowd Whether` and brewing guidance gained in the UK. The result is a more stripped-back Dark Mild aimed at a smoother, more natural drinking experience.
For fans of classic English-style ales, this is the kind of guest beer that fits HOP MAN well: subtle, malt-led, and made for slow sipping rather than big hop drama.
