Repubrew, based in Numazu, Shizuoka Prefecture, is running a celebration campaign after "CONIX BRUT IPA" won bronze in the Experimental India Pale Ale category at World Beer Cup 2026. Here’s a look at the revived limited set and the bonus items.
Hop BroThis is quite the feat for Repubrew in Numazu, Shizuoka: CONIX BRUT IPA won bronze in the Experimental India Pale Ale category at World Beer Cup 2026.
MugiWhoa! Is World Beer Cup really that big of a competition? When I hear recognized on a global standard, the beer suddenly looks dazzling!
Hop BroExactly. Being recognized in an international competition that brings together breweries from all over the world means that winning bronze in an international judging is something to be proud of.
MugiBy the way, what is the Brut IPA in CONIX BRUT IPA? The name sounds kind of intense, but is it a martial art?
Hop BroHaha, it’s not about fighting. Brut IPA is a super-dry IPA that really cuts back on sweetness and brings out a crisp finish.
MugiOhhh! And it’s a collaboration with illustrator CONIX too, so just the fusion of art and beer makes it fun even before you drink it!
Hop BroAccording to the official description, it has a straw-colored liquid appearance, with aromas like white grapes and mandarin, topped with a piney cedarwood-like character.
MugiWhite grapes, mandarin, cedarwood... that’s a lot to take in! But having layers of aroma makes it sound a little advanced and interesting!
Hop BroThe numbers are interesting too: the ABV is 6.5% and the IBU is 13. The carbonation is strong, and the finish is dry, so you can enjoy the aroma and then it slips away cleanly.
MugiAnd on top of that, the commemorative campaign brings back the 6-bottle set, and the first 30 people to buy the 24-bottle set get a non-sale acrylic stand too! Today, I just want to raise a glass with this in hand!
