Good News for the Direct-Run 24-Tap Shop in Mishima: REPUBREW's "CONIX BRUT IPA" Wins Bronze at WBC 2026
REPUBREW's "CONIX BRUT IPA," served at the company-run "REPUBREW Mishima Slider House 24taps" just a five-minute walk from Mishima Station, won the bronze medal in the Experimental India Pale Ale category at the World Beer Cup 2026. This award-winning beer, recognized on a world-class stage, can be enjoyed with food inside the 24-tap shop.
Hop BroToday we've got hot news from the direct-run shop in Mishima. CONIX BRUT IPA took the bronze medal at the World Beer Cup 2026.
MugiWhoa! A bronze medal at a world competition already sounds strong just from the name! But Brut IPA sounds like it would be super crisp, doesn't it?
Hop BroExactly. It won in the Experimental India Pale Ale category. It feels like the Brut IPA path REPUBREW has been following early on was properly recognized on a world-class stage.
MugiWait, what's Brut IPA? When I hear "brut," I imagine some muscle beer with extra-strong bubbles!
Hop BroThat's not too far off. It's made to be incredibly dry by breaking the sugar content down to zero, so the crispness comes forward more than the sweetness. Strong carbonation rides on top of that, making the mouthfeel really light and brisk.
MugiWow! And the aroma being white grape and mandarin is so stylish, isn't it? A beer that smells like the produce section!
Hop BroThat's what's interesting about it. There's also a gentle piney note, like the aftertaste of cedarwood. The bitterness is clean, the finish is crisp, and you naturally reach for the next sip.
MugiWhat! So it's basically a "makes you want another one" kind of beer. Dangerous, but way too tempting!
Hop BroAnd the place you can drink it is great too. Slider House 24Tap, five minutes on foot from Mishima Station, is a direct-run shop that always keeps 24 taps on hand, among the most in the prefecture.
MugiWhoa, a 24-tap place means you can choose from so many options! But with that many, I'd probably freeze up and stand there forever trying to decide...
Hop BroLeave that to them. Because it's built around pairing, the dryness of this beer really shines when you match it with dishes like the Ashitaka beef slider burger. In an American diner-style space, being able to enjoy an award-winning beer together with food is the big draw.
MugiNice! If it comes with the beer and the dining experience, then there's basically no reason not to go. Now I really want to head out and drink that bronze-medal pint!
