HOJO Brewing & Stays is Selling an Online-Exclusive Set of Five Bottles
HOJO Brewing & Stays in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, is offering an online-shop-exclusive set of five bottles. It includes one each of IPA, Bitter, Laurel Saison, New Zealand Saison, and Rye Saison, along with original goods.
Hop BroToday, we’re talking from the Ehime seaside about an online-exclusive set of five bottles. HOJO Brewing & Stays is bringing out IPA, Bitter, Laurel Saison, New Zealand Saison, and Rye Saison all together.
MugiWhoa! Five bottles? And it comes with original goods too? That feels like a lucky bag, in a good way!
Hop BroExactly, it even includes a sticker and a coaster. And HOJO Brewing & Stays is a brewery and whole-house rental inn that’s said to be the closest to the sea in Japan.
MugiToo close to the sea, maybe? So is the brewing basically happening with the sound of the waves? And a whole-house rental inn means you can stay there too, which is kind of unfair.
Hop BroDrinking draft beer in the taproom and then looking out over the Seto Inland Sea from the second floor is a pretty strong setup. Among the set, Bitter especially has that malty core that feels great.
MugiMalty? What does that even mean? Like, it tastes bready? But now you’re dropping IBU 14 on me, and it suddenly feels like science class!
Hop BroBasically, the bitterness is very gentle. With aromas like nuts, caramel, and raisins, it’s a bitter that’s easy to lean on as a food-pairing beer.
MugiOhhh! Then IPA must be the more energetic one. Hearing grapefruit aroma makes my mouth pucker already!
Hop BroThat’s the right image. And the Saison styles add citrus brightness with a peppery spice note, which makes it interesting how they’re put together as bright and spicy.
MugiA tasting side by side would really show the brewery’s personality! And being able to try them slowly at home is amazing. I want to compare the range of flavors!
Hop BroDrinking it on site while looking out at the sea would be great too, but taking it home and spending time with it sounds pretty good as well. This definitely belongs on the list of tonight’s drink candidates.
MugiYeah, just imagining the ocean view is making me thirsty... Now I want to toast with the five-bottle set tonight!
HOJO Brewing & Stays stands along the coast in Hojo, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, and is a craft beer brewery and whole-house rental inn said to be "the closest brewery to the sea in Japan." On the first floor, the taproom serves beer brewed on site straight from the keg, while the second floor offers a stay with views of the Seto Inland Sea.
What the shop is currently introducing is an online-shop-exclusive "five-bottle" set. It combines one bottle each of IPA, Bitter, Laurel Saison, New Zealand Saison, and Rye Saison, and also comes with original goods such as a sticker and a coaster. Unlike drinking the beers one by one, the lineup makes it easy to compare the range of flavors the brewery aims to express.
Among them, Bitter is built around a distinctly English-bitter maltiness. In addition to aromas reminiscent of nuts, caramel, and raisins, its bitterness is restrained at IBU 14, making it easy to pair with food. IPA is said to feature a grapefruit-like aroma, while the Saison beers are characterized by citrusy brightness and pepper-like spice, making this a lineup that reflects HOJO Brewing & Stays' balance of drinkability and individuality.
As a brewery with an oceanfront location and lodging facilities, it is a great fit not only for enjoying a drink on site but also for taking the beers home and savoring them at a relaxed pace. It is also interesting to follow the seasonal flavors and move back and forth between the core lineup and limited sets.
