OGA BREWING Unveils a Can IPA Inspired by the Anime "Kerokko Demetan"
OGA BREWING COMPANY in Mitaka, Tokyo, is introducing "Kerokko Demetan IPA (Can)," a beer themed after the 1973 animated series "Kerokko Demetan." It was designed as an IPA using Citra and Saaz hops, with an ABV of 6.0% and an IBU of 45.
Hop BroOGA BREWING in Tokyo's Mitaka has released a can of Kerokko Demetan IPA. It's a collaboration inspired by that 1973 anime, and the idea is just too cute.
MugiWait, anime into beer!? Kerokko Demetan sounds so gentle just from the name, but as an IPA it suddenly feels super stylish!
Hop BroExactly. It's a beer that lets you taste the whole story, from the little romance with Ranatan to the effort to make the pond peaceful. OGA is really good at turning a world into a drink.
MugiBut hey, I hear IPA all the time, but IBU 45 what does that mean? As soon as numbers show up, it feels like science class, and my brain starts foaming!
Hop BroIBU is a measure of bitterness, and this beer is designed for a balanced bitterness. At 6.0% ABV, it has real substance, but it's not too heavy, so you can enjoy the IPA character properly.
MugiOhh! So it really brings out the character of the hops, right? Just the names make it sound bitter, but maybe it's actually easy to drink!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. Nugget and Saaz provide the backbone, and Citra adds a citrusy edge, so classic depth and bright flair coexist. The malt base is also set up with Heidelberg and Pale Ale to give it structure.
MugiWhat is this, a proper recipe but with a gentle anime doorway? That's amazing. Even people who aren't into beer could come in through the story!
Hop BroAnd on the official site, there's also a Pale Ale version. Since it's a 350 ml can and the labels and styles come in two versions, it's fun just comparing them, and definitely a tasting pair.
MugiI can't take it, I want to taste both right now! I want to slowly savor even the foam while thinking about Demetan's world!
Hop BroThen let's toast tonight with a beer from Mitaka. It's great when a nostalgic anime warms you up and a beer makes you feel a little more grown-up.
MugiI agree! A beer where you can see a story beyond the foam is exciting no matter what. This has to be delicious!
