MugiWhat, two beers at once!? Both sound interesting, but just the names already seem so strong that I'm a little scared!
Hop BroR122 is a house IPA with an ABV of over 8%. A big fruity hop aroma comes at you hard, and it's the type that hits you with serious drinkability.
Mugi"Drinkability that hits you"? What even is that!? But it does sound tasty! By the way, when you say it came out hazy, does that mean something went wrong?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. This batch of R122 has a slightly different expression than usual. Haze is a visual character, and it can even make the body feel fuller.
MugiOhhh! So the look changes how the flavor feels too. Then IRONGATE is the one with the kind of plain-looking face, but actually a real performer?
Hop BroExactly. IRONGATE is Scottish 80. It has grainy notes, nuts, smoke, caramel, and even a tea-like character, and it's the kind of beer with a quietly deep flavor.
MugiScottish 80 sounds like it would fill me up just from the name! But if malt flavor is the main attraction, is it easy to drink even for a beginner like me?
Hop BroYeah, its appeal is that it is easy to sip calmly rather than flashy, so there are days when it's actually a great first pint. And since GROW BREW HOUSE is directly connected to the brewery, it's nice that you can feel the brewer close by.
MugiWhoa, drinking while talking about beer sounds so fun! And a former lumber shop building makes it feel a little like a secret base, which I love.
Hop BroYou can also bring in food bought nearby, so taking along some snacks and comparing the beers is the best way to do it. The powerful R122 and the quietly delicious IRONGATE both make you want to try them side by side.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I fully want to go! Tonight is one of those nights where IPA fans and malt fans both end up happy!
Two beers tapped at the same time
At GROW BREW HOUSE, the brewpub in Nishi-Kawaguchi, Saitama, two new taps are now on. This time, the lineup pairs the house IPA 'R122' with 'IRONGATE,' a beer that is also a favorite on hand pump at the sister shops, Nishi-Kawaguchi Cask & Still and Toda The Malt Shovel.
R122 is a drinkable IPA with an ABV of over 8%, known for its fruity hop aroma. This batch happened to come out hazy, so it has a slightly different look from usual. It's a welcome tap for anyone looking for a beer with real body.
IRONGATE is in the Scottish 80 style. It is appealing for its calm, easygoing drinkability, while bringing through notes of grain, nuts, smoke, caramel, and even black tea. It suits days when you want to enjoy the taste of malt more than flashiness.
GROW BREW HOUSE is a brewpub connected directly to the brewery, and is known as a place where the head brewer, a former chef, keeps an eye on both beer making and food.

Since you can also bring in food bought nearby, it is fun to pair your favorite snacks with a tasting comparison of R122's strength and IRONGATE's quietly satisfying flavor.
It's a chance to enjoy two beers with very different personalities at the same time in Nishi-Kawaguchi. Whether you're an IPA fan or prefer the depth of malt, this taproom gives you a clear reason to stop by.
