Hop BroIzuya Shoten in Ebaramachi received five new beers on October 3. It’s like taking a beer trip through Shizuoka and Nagano.
MugiWhat! A Shizuoka–Nagano tasting trip with no train fare? That sounds perfect!
Hop BroFrom Shizuoka’s West Coast Brewing, there’s the hazy double IPA Full Hop Alchemist rX. That’s the pick for a big, rich hop hit.
MugiHold on—hazy double IPA sounds like a spell. What does that even mean?
Hop BroHazy means cloudy and juicy; double means more intensity and strength. Think fruit-juice-like aromas with serious hop power.
MugiOoh, tropical already! But maybe I should start with something lighter before launching into orbit.
Hop BroThen try West Coast Brewing’s American pale ale, Jog Juice w/anchovy liquid lupulin. The name is wild, but the drinking experience is comparatively easygoing.
MugiAnchovy?! Is there fish in it?! I was already planning snacks! It’s just the name, right?
Hop BroAnchovy is a hop variety, and liquid lupulin points to concentrated hop character. For a crisper profile, there’s also the West Coast IPA Star Watcher.
MugiA fish-named hop—beer really has layers! And Nagano’s Minami Shinshu Beer brings two autumnal choices, right?
Hop BroExactly. The seasonal Märzen Oktoberfest should bring toasty malt character, while Apple Hop Shinano Gold highlights apples from the Shinano Gold variety.
MugiFrom IPA to apple beer, choosing will be impossible! Just remember October 4 is closed—then let’s visit Izuya Shoten on an open day and cheers!
