The craft beer bar "BEERDOCK" in Kawasaki City has newly tapped its house-brewed American IPA "π Pai." In an Instagram post, it was introduced as a 5.5% ABV pour, made on an American malt base and lavishly hopped with six varieties, each with its own distinct character.

The aroma is shaped toward a bright, grapefruit-like direction, while the palate keeps a solid bitterness. From there, the finish drops off cleanly, making the hop profile easier to follow as you keep drinking. It has the outline you expect from an IPA, but it does not lean only into heaviness.

BEERDOCK is known as a standing-bar style venue in the Inadazutsumi area where people can enjoy craft beer. It originally came from Inadazutsumi Beer Brewery, and now it serves multiple taps in a casual atmosphere. Given that background, "π Pai" seems less like just a new release and more like a beer that clearly shows what BEERDOCK is about.
