On March 14, craft beer bar HOP CROWD in Mie’s Yokkaichi introduced the Ise Kadoya Beer × VERTERE collaboration Hazy IPA "Another Cut." The tap lineup also featured a selection of distinctive guest beers from Japan and abroad, making it a fun place to choose your weekend pint.
Hop BroToday’s topic is the Hazy IPA "Another Cut" tapped at HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi!
MugiWhoa! So that’s the very first collab beer between Ise Kadoya Beer and VERTERE!? That’s definitely interesting!
Hop BroExactly, and they’re putting the aroma front and center with a double-hop boost of the new Vera hop and 2025-harvest Strata.
MugiWhat! Does "2025-harvest hops" mean the flavor changes by year like wine?
Hop BroPretty close. The aroma changes depending on the harvest year, and Hazy IPA is a juicy IPA with a soft mouthfeel thanks to its haze.
MugiOhhh! So it’s not just bitter - you can enjoy tropical aromas too!
Hop BroThe guest beers that day were strong too, with a full-range lineup from Meyer Lemon Lager to Shishi-gami Oni IPA, finishing with Peanut Butter Milk Stout.
MugiA refreshing first pour, then a sweet, toasty finish - that’s a tap list where you can build your own drinking order! The kind of weekend dilemma that’s fun!
Hop BroPlus it’s on the second floor of a building in Suwa Sakae-cho and close to the station, and they’re in back-to-back event mode with a Vineria Luppolo collaboration on March 22 and the shopping district beer garden on April 5.
MugiIt’s decided! Tonight we’re starting with one Another Cut at HOP CROWD, then going on a tasting crawl!
