Derailleur Brew Works, based in Nishinari, Osaka, has introduced “NIGHT RIDER ROUTE26 #013,” a Session IPA inspired by a night drive along Route 26.
The beer’s concept centers on a rider cutting through the asphalt with electromagnetic wheels and racing into the darkness. Its story follows Friaal, a character confronting fear of the future, loss, attachment, regret, and hope while continuing forward without brakes.
According to the brewery’s product information, the beer has an ABV of 4.5%, an IBU of 33, and an SRM of 3.5. It is brewed with malt from the United States and Germany, along with hops. The specifications suggest a beer that retains the presence of an IPA while remaining relatively light and easy to drink.
The NIGHT RIDER ROUTE26 series reflects Derailleur Brew Works’ approach of presenting each beer together with its own narrative. The series’ world includes Friaal, who lost a right arm and right leg at 14, and later lost a piano and someone important at 17. The resulting themes of phantom pain, longing, regret, and persistence are expressed through both the beer and its visual identity.
Derailleur Brew Works was established in Nishinari as a craft beer factory and creative operation centered on recreating the recipe for Nishinari Riot Ale. Its name comes from the French word for “one who goes off the track,” reflecting the brewery’s commitment to ideas beyond convention and predetermined paths.
With its story of nocturnal speed and its approachable Session IPA profile, NIGHT RIDER ROUTE26 #013 is a beer to explore through both its flavor and its narrative.
