Bia Ma Kitasenju introduces four anniversary beers, including OUR BREWING's 'Second'
In an Instagram post from Bia Ma Kitasenju, staff-recommended beers themed around anniversaries were introduced. Alongside OUR BREWING's 'Second' and NAMACHAん Brewing × CAMADO BREWERY's 'CAMA×NAMA New World IPA', the lineup featured characterful beers fitting the milestone theme.
Hop BroI thought it was interesting that the Kitasenju beer pub Bia Ma Kitasenju put together a roundup of anniversary beers. Three cans and one draft, so you can really see the shop's current "featured picks" in one go.
MugiWhoa! Four anniversary beers? That really feels like a celebration, and now I have no idea which one to drink first!
Hop BroStart with OUR BREWING's 'Second'. It's a QDH Hazy TIPA made for the brewery's second anniversary. Even though it's only lightly hazy, the aroma is strong, and it's juicy but easy to drink.
MugiQDH Hazy TIPA sounds like some kind of spell name! So basically it's delicious, but what even is it?
Hop BroSimply put, QDH means it uses a lot of hops, Hazy means it's a cloudy style, and TIPA means Triple IPA with higher alcohol. So it's strong on aroma but easy to drink, basically a reward beer.
MugiGot it! I'm also curious about the next one, CAMA×NAMA New World IPA. A collaboration between NAMACHAん Brewing and CAMADO BREWERY already sounds like an event just from the name!
Hop BroThis one is an eighth-anniversary release, and the key point is the New Zealand hops. The fresh orange character, the unique NZ hop profile, and the balance of juiciness with a crisp finish are what make it stand out.
MugiWait, it's juicy but crisp? So it's the kind of beer with a lot of body that still goes down easily, huh? That's kind of unfair!
Hop BroThere's also Tallboys × Hop Buzz's HB10 Crispy Slovenian Pilsner. It's a 10th-anniversary beer that brings together the floral character of Slovenian hops, malt toastiness, moderate bitterness, and a bit of sweetness into a clean, refreshing pilsner.
MugiAnd they even have a newly tapped draft... Smog Czech Lager sounds amazing. Just imagining the aroma shifting from bread-like to herbal is making me hungry.
Hop BroExactly. With restrained sweetness and moderate bitterness, it's easy to drink, so it's a great choice for an afternoon pint. Since they're open from 13:00 to 23:00, it really makes you want to go beer-hopping for anniversary brews in Kitasenju.
MugiWow, I want to do a side-by-side anniversary tasting so badly! Let's make beer plans for today, and Hop big brother can join the toast too!
