Danky Beer Store Receives Inkhorn Brewing x VERTERE Collaboration IPA “Hummingbird”
The beer pub Danky Beer Store in Sakae, Naka Ward, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, has received the collaboration beer Hummingbird from Inkhorn Brewing and VERTERE. An Instagram post announced it in-store, introducing a Hazy IPA that lets the character of both breweries overlap.
Hop BroA collaboration IPA, Hummingbird, from Inkhorn Brewing and VERTERE has arrived at Danky Beer Store in Sakae. And since it's a Hazy IPA, it's a dream for aroma lovers.
MugiWait, what is a Hazy IPA? The name already sounds fluffy, and now there's even a hummingbird, so the info is getting overloaded!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's a hazy IPA style that really brings the aroma forward. Hummingbird has tropical notes like mango and passion fruit, and the nice part is that it comes across softly sweet at first, then finishes a little dry.
MugiOh! But what does a dry finish mean? It's not like the beer dries out my throat and turns it into a desert, right?
Hop BroNot dry in the sense of making you thirsty, but more that it doesn't leave too much sweetness behind. It's soft on the palate, yet doesn't turn sticky on the finish, so it's easy to enjoy the aroma and move on to the next sip.
MugiI get it! And the hops are Cascade and Riwaka, which already sound so stylish just from the names! Isn't this an absolute traffic jam of aromas?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. With Citra Cryo and Mosaic Cryo, plus Nelson Sauvin, the structure layers citrus, tropical fruit, and white-grape-like notes. If you think of Cryo as a concentrated hop aroma extract, that's close enough.
MugiConcentrated! So it's basically the essence of aroma. It suddenly sounds scientific, but it also makes me want to drink it even more!
Hop BroOn top of that, they used sugar and lactose too, which is a nice touch because it aims for a balance of depth and drinkability. It also carries that VERTERE-like atmosphere that brings plants and birds to mind, so even the concept ties together beautifully.
MugiWow, just the fact that it's a bird-themed IPA gets me excited! And if you can drink it at Danky Beer Store, it's the kind of thing that makes you want to drop by casually in Sakae and try it!
Hop BroGuest beers with this kind of limited feel are already a bit of a reward when you happen to find them. I want to see in a glass how the character of Inkhorn Brewing and VERTERE comes together.
MugiDeal! Today we're having one Hummingbird and checking everything, from the aroma to the taste. I'll be all about the tropical fruit notes, and you, Hop-aniki, will probably be grinning over the technical terms!

Hummingbird is a Hazy IPA known as a collaboration work from Inkhorn Brewing. The tasting notes describe tropical nuances reminiscent of mango and passion fruit, with a soft mouthfeel and a slightly dry finish that does not leave too much sweetness behind.

As a joint brew with VERTERE, it is also striking how the motif evoking plants and birds connects neatly with the fruity hop aroma. At Danky Beer Store, a beer pub in the Sakae area, this kind of limited guest beer is easy to try casually. For craft beer fans, it is an arrival that makes you want to check in a glass how the two breweries' strengths come together.
