WITCH CRAFT Market restocks ISEKADO cans, including Ramune IPA and KABOSU BEAT
WITCH CRAFT Market, a beer pub in Ozu, Kumamoto, announced on Instagram that it has restocked cans from ISEKADO Brewery in Mie. The lineup includes Electro Squash Sour IPA, Ramune IPA, and Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven 3x IPA, while the photo also shows Neko Nihiki and KABOSU BEAT.
Hop BroThis one is fun: Kumamoto's WITCH CRAFT Market just restocked cans from ISEKADO BREWERY in Mie, and the Instagram post looks dangerous for anyone with weak self-control.
MugiWhat! A whole wall of ISEKADO? I saw Ramune IPA in there and immediately felt like summer kicked the door open.
Hop BroPretty much. The big eye-catcher is Electro Squash Sour IPA, ISEKADO's first sour, and they've also got Ramune IPA, Ultra Heaven 3xIPA, plus Neko ni Hiki and KABOSU BEAT in the photo, so it's a seriously limited lineup.
MugiHold on, what is a Sour IPA? Sour and IPA together sounds like two styles arguing inside a tiny fridge.
Hop BroNot arguing, collaborating. It's basically a fruity tart IPA: Electro Squash Sour IPA layers passion fruit and peach-like aromas over sharp acidity, then leaves a hoppy finish.
MugiOhhh, tart but aromatic. So first you make a sour face, then suddenly you're on a tropical vacation?
Hop BroExactly. Ramune IPA is an American IPA with lemon for an easy, refreshing sip, and KABOSU BEAT uses kabosu juice from Oita, so that part of the lineup feels built for hot weather.
MugiThen what about Ultra Heaven 3xIPA? That name doesn't sound like a beer, it sounds like the final boss of a tasting flight.
Hop BroThat one really is the boss fight. A 3xIPA means extra intensity, with bigger hop impact and heavier body, so I'd start with Ramune IPA or KABOSU BEAT and save that for the finish.
MugiOkay, now I get it, the fun at WITCH CRAFT Market is choosing by the glass. It says they're closed on June 3, so I'd check the hours first and start with Ramune IPA.
Hop BroThat's the move. Check the schedule, open with Electro Squash Sour IPA, close with the 3xIPA, and you've got a lineup that makes me want a full tasting flight right now.
WITCH CRAFT Market, a beer pub in Ozu, Kumamoto, shared an Instagram post announcing a fresh restock of cans from ISEKADO Brewery in Mie. The caption says the shelves are lined up again with new arrivals and restocks, giving beer fans a reason to check the selection.
The standout mention is `Electro Squash Sour IPA`, introduced as ISEKADO's first sour in the post. Official product information describes it as a fruit sour IPA that layers hop aroma over bright tart fruit character, with passion fruit, peach, and a crisp finish. `Ramune IPA` is another easy-to-recognize pick, an American IPA brewed with lemon juice for a refreshing, soda-like impression.
The photo also clearly shows `Neko Nihiki` and `KABOSU BEAT`. The post text additionally refers to `Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven 3x IPA`, ISEKADO's well-known high-octane limited beer. Taken together, the lineup ranges from bright and sour to hop-forward and intense, which is exactly the kind of range that makes a beer pub’s bottle-and-can cooler worth scanning slowly.
The post also notes that the shop will be closed on June 3 for meetings, so it is worth checking the latest opening information before heading out.
