Hop BroToday's new release news: Tokyo's Bread Ale Brewery launched Bread Ale (West Coast IPA) on March 19.
MugiWhat! A beer with the same name as the brewery? That feels like they're wearing their signboard on their back!
Hop BroThat's the exciting part. It's a West Coast IPA with a solid design at ABV 7.0% and IBU 62.
MugiWhat is that! Hearing IBU suddenly makes it sound like science class! What kind of score is IBU 62?
Hop BroIBU is a measure of bitterness, and 62 is fairly high. In other words, it's an IPA aimed at vivid bitterness and a crisp finish.
MugiWow, and it's a bread brewery too. Do they really roast baguette breadcrumbs and put them in it!?
Hop BroThey do. They use them in the brew to add nuance to the aroma and body. What's interesting is the bread-derived aroma design that overlaps with the hop citrus.
MugiWow, just imagining it makes me hungry! So can I drink it already? Cans are already on sale is amazing!
Hop BroYep, you can already buy cans, and draft will be offered sequentially as kegs are connected, so if you find it at a shop, check it out right away.
MugiAlright, decided. Let's stop by Komugino Hoshi and then toast! Today I want to experience that piercing citrus!

In the post, it highlights a "piercing citrus aroma," "vivid bitterness," and a "clean finish," showing that the beer is intended to deliver the sharply defined character typical of a West Coast IPA.
What stands out is the use of roasted baguette breadcrumbs in the brew. The design of how Bread Ale Brewery's bread element is reflected in the aroma and body is what gives this label its identity.

- ABV: 7.0%
- IBU: 62
As for serving format, cans are already on sale. In addition, draft beer will be offered sequentially depending on keg connection status.

Tokyo-based Bread Ale Brewery is drawing attention for translating its connection to bread culture into beer. This new release is not just another IPA addition, but a beer that clearly expresses the brewery's identity. It is worth checking out not only for fans of West Coast IPA centered on bitterness and crispness, but also for anyone interested in the approach of "craft beer based on bread."
