BLACK TIDE BREWING teases a new collaboration with Yardley Brothers
An Instagram post points to a new collaboration between Hong Kong's Yardley Brothers and BLACK TIDE BREWING. The post outlines each brewery's strengths and says the beer will be shown at FlockFest.
Hop BroA big harbor-town teaser just landed: BLACK TIDE BREWING is hinting at a new collaboration with Hong Kong's Yardley Brothers.
MugiWhat! An overseas collab? And Yardley Brothers already sounds like a boss battle!
Hop BroHere's the thing, BLACK TIDE is a brewpub in Kesennuma, and American IPA and Hazy IPA are right in its wheelhouse with really defined hop character.
MugiOh wow! But the article says Yardley Brothers is known for barrel aging and sour styles, and that already sounds like a spell.
Hop BroBarrel aging means resting the beer in barrels to add aroma and depth. The beer isn't taking a nap, but it definitely wakes up with a stronger personality.
MugiWhat is that! So it goes into a barrel and comes out as a whole new beer? And then there's wild-fermented fruit sour too, and my beginner textbook has fully given up!
Hop BroWild fermentation uses the character of naturally occurring yeast and microbes, so the acidity and aroma get more complex. Add Double IPA and dark ale to that, and you've got a seriously heavy lineup.
MugiSo when that meets BLACK TIDE's hop-forward side, do we get a breezy session ale direction or some kind of rich flavor monster? I'm busy just imagining it!
Hop BroThe beer name is still unreleased, but if both breweries bring their strengths straight in, it could be a glass with seaside freshness and real weight at the same time.
MugiAnd it's supposed to debut as a pour at FlockFest, right? We're still waiting for updates, but my mouth is already trying to toast!
Hop BroBLACK TIDE carrying Kesennuma's local air plus Hong Kong flair is almost unfair. At this point, the only move is prepare the throat for updates.
MugiDone. The second the name drops, I'm chasing it, and once it's out I want one glass, maybe two. My urge to drink it has officially gone off the charts!
BLACK TIDE BREWING is a brewpub in Minamimachi, Kesennuma, Miyagi, where hop-driven American IPAs, Hazy IPAs, and easy-drinking session ales are part of the core lineup. In the Instagram post, the brewery is linked to a new collaboration beer with Yardley Brothers from Hong Kong.
The post describes Yardley Brothers as a brewery with a barrel-aging and sour program, highlighting Double IPA, wild-fermented fruit sours, and dark ales. BLACK TIDE BREWING is presented on the other side of the equation with American IPA, Hazy IPA, and session ale as its strengths. That contrast suggests a release that could balance hop intensity with layered fermentation character.
No final beer name is given in the post, but the style direction is clear. For BLACK TIDE BREWING, which sits in a coastal town built around recovery and community, the collaboration fits naturally with a taproom experience that emphasizes place as much as beer. The finished beer should be worth following as FlockFest approaches.
