Hop BroKochi Beer Laboratory in Kochi just tapped DD4D’s 7th anniversary beer alongside a brand-new IPA from WAYFARER today.
MugiWait, two IPAs at once!? That is a full-on side-by-side tasting situation!
Hop BroExactly, and even though both are IPAs, one is clear while the other has a hazy appearance, so they look totally different in the glass.
MugiHazy? What is that supposed to mean? A cloudy beer? That sounds like a weather report!
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. It’s an IPA with a soft, misty look, and hops plus proteins create that gentle haze that can make the mouthfeel seem fluffier too.
MugiOhhh, so DD4D is crisp, WAYFARER is fluffy, and this is basically a best-looking glass showdown!
Hop BroThat’s the idea. DD4D’s anniversary IPA sounds like it has firm definition, while WAYFARER’s new one is the kind you want to admire for that soft haze.
MugiI love that they’re not leading with flavor notes and instead saying, first enjoy the look. That feels so craft-beer cool!
Hop BroKochi Beer Laboratory is in Otesuji, opens at 4:00 p.m., and it sounds perfect for a calm tasting session where you can compare both at your own pace.
MugiWow, if I went after work and kept alternating between clear and hazy, I’d be deliciously indecisive forever!
Hop BroThen don’t choose, just get both. An IPA experience that starts with visual contrast is fun from the first sip.
MugiThat settles it. I want those two pints now, especially with that clear-versus-hazy contrast!
Kochi Beer Laboratory, located in the 55 Bangai East area at 1-8-8 Otesuji, Kochi City, shared a July 28 post announcing a rotation of guest beers. The current lineup features DD4D's 7th-anniversary beer and a new beer from Wayfarer. Both are IPAs, but the contrast is easy to see at a glance: one pours clear, while the other leans hazy.
Rather than focusing on detailed tasting notes, the post highlights the visual difference first. For IPA fans, that kind of contrast is part of the fun. The DD4D anniversary beer offers a clean, defined look, while Wayfarer's new release brings a softer, cloudier expression to the glass.
Kochi Beer Laboratory is a convenient stop for beer lovers in central Kochi. With a 4:00 p.m. opening, it is a good place to slow down, compare styles, and spend time with a glass in hand. The pub's appeal lies in giving each beer room to speak for itself, and this tap lineup fits that approach well.
