MugiWhat, Anchovy? Even though the name sounds like a fish, it's not fish? Just hearing new IPA makes me excited!
Hop BroExactly. It's the first release in Hop Line from Streetlight Brewing in Sapporo, and the alcohol content is 6.5%.
MugiWhat's Hop Line? A railway? Are the hops lined up like trains? Being told it's the first release makes me even more curious!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's a series that highlights the character of the featured hop, and this time the key point is the multi-hop design built around the Anchovy hop.
MugiA multi-hop setup is basically a hop ensemble! And the aroma being sweet and juicy sounds amazing!
Hop BroThe article says it combines sweetness like watermelon and candy with raspberry notes and resinous character, so the balance of berry and pine sap is what makes it interesting.
MugiWatermelon, candy, berry, pine sap!? That's a lot of information and my brain is in traffic! But the layers of aroma make me want to taste it for myself!
Hop BroOn top of that, Anchovy is a relatively new hop from Yakima Valley, and it's fun that Fast Fashion Brewing was involved in the naming too, so even the background of the name is interesting.
MugiBeer isn't just about the taste, it's about the story too. Tasting it together with the backstory at Beer Cellar Ichinomiya sounds wonderful!
Hop BroRight, and you can also see the flow from beers like Streetlight's Haze tha World, so it's the kind of pour that people who love context will really enjoy.
MugiI want to drink it so badly now! Today I feel like heading straight to Ichinomiya for a glass of Anchovy!
Streetlight Brewing's New Series Makes Its Debut in Ichinomiya
In a post from Beer Cellar Ichinomiya, the newly tapped guest beer was "Anchovy" from Streetlight Brewing (Sapporo). The style is India Pale Ale, and the alcohol content is 6.5%.
The post also explains that this beer is the first release in Streetlight's new series, "Hop Line." Unlike a single-hop beer brewed with just one hop, this series is designed by combining multiple hops to bring out the character of the featured hop. The Anchovy hop in focus is described as having sweet juiciness reminiscent of watermelon and candy, raspberry-like nuances, and a resinous quality that calls to mind pine sap.
A Craft Beer You Can Enjoy Even in Its Name and Backstory
The unique name "Anchovy" comes from a relatively new hop variety grown in Yakima Valley, Washington State, USA. The naming involved Seattle's Fast Fashion Brewing, and the post also mentions "Hot Pizza" as the name of the first beer ever brewed with this hop. Streetlight's earlier release "Haze tha World" is also referenced in the series explanation, making this a beer that lets you enjoy the brewery's broader context as well.
