Hop BroAt Moya Moya Base in Sapporo, one guest keg has been swapped out. This time, it's a lineup that's fun to compare side by side, and just looking at it makes me excited.
MugiWait, you mean the keg changes out? So every time you go, you can meet a different beer!? That gives you way too many reasons to keep coming back!
Hop BroExactly. And this time there are five labels in the mix: REPUBREW, Iwate Kura Beer, FAR YEAST BREWING, UCHU Brewing, and North Island Beer.
MugiWow, those names alone are strong! But what is Sahti? That sounds like a spell, doesn't it?
Hop BroGood question. Sahti is a traditional Finnish beer, and its charm is that it feels earthy and distinctive. The REPUBREW one here is a beer that lets you feel that kind of mood.
MugiOhhh! So is it like an IPA festival with beers like "Tohoku Soul Session IPA" and "Tokyo IPA"?
Hop BroExactly. Session IPA is all about being easy to drink, while Tokyo IPA tends to show off a sharper hop profile. If you compare the bitterness and aroma, it feels like a meeting starts in your mouth.
MugiA meeting in my mouth? What does that even mean! And LOOP and CORIANDER BLACK I.P.A are packed with so much information my brain can't keep up!
Hop BroLOOP is a beer with that signature UCHU Brewing imagination, and the black IPA is fun because of the unexpected twist of coriander aroma in a black beer. It looks serious, but then it playfully slips in through the aroma, which is what makes it interesting.
MugiAnd Moya Moya Base serves dishes made with Hokkaido ingredients, right? Then it's not just the beer, even the snacks must be delicious!
Hop BroExactly. It's the kind of place that's easy to drop into even with a small group, and it really makes you want to say it's best to go early. The scenery changes every time the keg changes, and I can already see the future where we say "just one more" and end up getting completely hooked.
MugiI can see it! That's it, I can't wait any longer, I want to go drinking! Let's start by seriously thinking about what to drink first!

- REPUBREW / Sahti
- Iwate Kura Beer / Tohoku Soul Session IPA
- FAR YEAST BREWING / Tokyo IPA
- UCHU Brewing / LOOP
- North Island Beer / CORIANDER BLACK I.P.A
The range of styles is also a highlight, spanning from Sahti, which gives off a rustic, Finnish-inspired character, to the clearly hop-forward Session IPA and Tokyo IPA, as well as UCHU Brewing's LOOP and a coriander-infused black IPA. It is an easy lineup to enjoy whether you want something light and drinkable or want to compare differences in aroma and bitterness.
