HOP MAN taps Y.MARKET BREWING's Epoch, a Cascade-driven West Coast Pale Ale
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Chigasaki, Kanagawa, has announced a fresh tap of Y.MARKET BREWING's Epoch. The West Coast Pale Ale uses four Cascade variants and is described as offering citrus aroma, a light-medium body, and strong drinkability.
Hop BroToday, HOP MAN in Chigasaki just announced Epoch on tap, and I’m way too interested in this new pour from Y.MARKET BREWING.
MugiWait, Y.MARKET BREWING is that Nagoya brewery, right? Getting it in Chigasaki makes me want a mini beer trip!
Hop BroExactly, and it’s a West Coast Pale Ale built with four different Cascade hops.
MugiWhat is that! Four Cascade versions sounds like Cascade formed a superhero squad.
Hop BroThat’s not far off. They layered different origins and processes of Cascade to give the grapefruit and orange aroma more depth.
MugiWhoa. But West Coast Pale Ale makes me picture a sharp, bitter training beer.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part of Epoch: at 5.0% ABV, it has a light easy-drinking body, so the hops pop but it still sounds super crushable.
MugiSuper crushable is dangerous! And with 31.1 IBU, it sounds more friendly than a full-on bitter monster.
Hop BroOn top of that, as you keep drinking, you get geranium and woody notes, which makes that classic Cascade feel more layered.
MugiI’m done for. I want that slightly hazy gold in front of me before the first sip even lands... Hop bro, let’s toast at HOP MAN right now!
Hop BroIt sounds perfect for a first round or with food, so if we’re doing a beer in Chigasaki, this is the one I want.
MugiThen it’s settled! Let’s start with full citrus aroma Epoch and make the first pint count!

According to the post, Epoch is brewed with four different Cascade hops sourced and processed in different ways. The beer is described as having a slightly hazy gold color and a light-to-medium body.

The result is a West Coast Pale Ale that keeps the classic Cascade character in focus while showing a broader, more layered expression.
