Makuhari’s Mihama Base opens Minoh Beer Peach Weizen and Pizza Port IPA
On August 6, WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Makuhari tapped two new kegs: Minoh Beer’s Peach Weizen (early-ripening peach) and Pizza Port’s Summer Sunlight IPA, refreshing the summer lineup.
Hop BroMakuhari is looking lively today. MIHAMA BASE Makuhari tapped two fresh kegs on August 6: Minoh Beer’s Peach Weizen Wase and Pizza Port’s Summer Sunlight IPA. Full summer lineup.
MugiWhat! A double summer drop? Peach and IPA at the same time is like a festival schedule trying to ruin my ability to choose!
Hop BroFirst up is Minoh Beer’s Peach Weizen Wase. It uses Arakawa peaches from Wakayama, pureed the very day they’re harvested, with juicy fruit layered over classic weizen esters.
MugiWait, classic weizen esters? Why did this conversation suddenly turn into chemistry class? What does that actually smell like?
Hop BroBasically, think banana and clove notes. It’s ABV 5.0% and IBU 12, so the bitterness stays gentle, and the finish is dry instead of sweet.
MugiOh wow, peach but dry sounds dangerous. It walks in dressed like juice, then reveals it absolutely knows how to be beer!
Hop BroThe other keg is Pizza Port’s Summer Sunlight IPA. Mango, guava, papaya, grapefruit, Meyer lemon, plus that dank resin character, all packed into a 7.0% IPA.
MugiSeriously, dank resin character? Your hop vocabulary just wandered into a pine forest. Is that supposed to be delicious?
Hop BroVery much. It means a deep, resinous hop aroma, and the bread-like malt keeps it grounded, so you get an IPA with structure instead of a fruit bomb. There are eight beers on draft that day, takeout is available, and the 4th anniversary event runs August 21 to 23, so now I want one too.
MugiAt this point, I need a tasting flight. Start with Peach Weizen Wase or jump straight into Summer Sunlight IPA? Either way, I want to get to Makuhari right now!
Two new taps
WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Makuhari updated its draft lineup with two new beers. The pairing leans into summer: one is a fruit-forward wheat beer, and the other is a hop-driven IPA.
The first is Minoh Beer’s `Peach Weizen (Early-ripening variety)`. It uses "Arakawa peaches" from Hachiki Farm in Wakayama, turned into purée on the day they were picked. The beer combines Weizen yeast notes of clove and banana with the fresh character of peach. At 5.0% ABV and 12 IBU, it finishes dry rather than sweet.
The second is Pizza Port’s `Summer Sunlight IPA`. It brings tropical aromas that suggest mango, guava, and papaya peel, then layers in ruby red grapefruit, Meyer lemon, and a dank resin edge. With a 7.0% ABV, it is built on a light bready malt base that supports the hop expression.
The tap list
The day’s lineup includes eight draft beers in total: Heartland, London Pride, Societe’s `The Dagger`, Surly’s `Mosh Pit Hazy IPA`, and West Coast Brewing’s `Riverphilia` and `Wandering Boi`, alongside the two new arrivals.
