Hop BroY.Market Brewing in Nagoya is releasing Beyond the Grid on April 9, 2026. It’s a new addition to the OUR BEER series, and it should really hit the spot for West Coast IPA fans.
MugiWhoa, the title already sounds intense! I always think of West Coast IPA as something sharply bitter, is that about right?
Hop BroYeah, that impression is pretty much right. It puts firm bitterness front and center, with an IBU of 81.1 and an ABV of 6.0%.
MugiWhat’s IBU? Does a higher number really mean it’s bitter?
Hop BroBasically, it’s a rough measure of bitterness. 81.1 is a pretty bold number, but this beer is also aiming for a clean drinking profile, so it’s not just bitter for the sake of being bitter.
MugiOhh! I’m curious about the look too! Is it kind of golden?
Hop BroExactly, the color is a clear yellow gold. The body is medium with a fuller lean, so it has substance without feeling too heavy. It’s a really well-balanced approach.
MugiSubstantial but not heavy? That’s sneaky! What’s the aroma like?
Hop BroCitrus is the main note, with a dank hop aroma layered on top. It uses Simcoe, Mosaic, Citra, and Nelson Sauvin, so the hop character comes through very clearly.
MugiDank sounds kind of wet? It’s a little hard to picture, but maybe that’s what makes it addictive!
Hop BroYeah, it’s a way of describing greenery, pine, and a slightly wild hop aroma. And with four hop additions, they’ve carefully built up both crispness and aroma.
MugiFor something from Nagoya to go this hard on hops is so cool! If someone says straight-up American IPA, my throat already reacts!
Hop BroThis is exactly the kind of IPA you want when you’re in the mood for something with a sharp, defined edge. Reading about it is already making me want to drink it right now.
MugiSame here! When April 9 comes, I want to toast with a crisp, bitter pint!
Y.Market Brewing in Nagoya City will release a new beer in its OUR BEER series, “Beyond the Grid,” on April 9, 2026. The style is West Coast IPA, and the category is listed as “white to yellow.” With 6.0% ABV and an IBU of 81.1, it is designed to emphasize bitterness clearly.
The beer is introduced as a straight-up American IPA stripped of unnecessary elements. Its appearance is a clear yellow gold. The body is medium, leaning fuller, aiming for a balance that still feels substantial without being too heavy. The aroma is built around citrus, with a strong dank hop character rising clearly.
It uses US Simcoe, US Mosaic, US Citra, and NZ Nelson Sauvin hops. In brewing, the mash and fermentation processes were adjusted to pursue a crisp IPA, and hop additions were made in four separate stages. A defining feature is the way it brings out the character of freshly arrived hops from the U.S., while finishing with an uncluttered, stripped-down profile.
Y.Market Brewing is a brewery based in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture. True to a brewery that has long been sending out a wide variety of beers from its hometown of Nagoya, “Beyond the Grid” is also finished as a beer that clearly brings together hop aroma, bitterness, and a clean aftertaste. It is likely to attract attention from those seeking the sharply defined flavor of a West Coast IPA.
