Baird's Yuzu Ale and CONIX Brut IPA at Beer Cellar Ichinomiya
Beer Cellar Ichinomiya, a beer pub in Ichinomiya, Aichi, announced new guest beers in an Instagram post on April 11. A fruit ale made with yuzu and a Brut IPA known for its dry finish make up a lineup that also takes food pairings into account.
Hop BroToday, a pretty interesting guest has arrived at Beer Cellar Ichinomiya in Ichinomiya, Aichi. Baird Brewing's "Temple Garden Yuzu Ale" and Repubrew × Conix's "Conix Brut IPA" are on the lineup, and this is the kind of pairing that makes tasting side by side a lot of fun.
MugiWhat, a two-beer set of yuzu ale and Brut IPA!? They already sound delicious just from the names, and they go with food too?
Hop BroExactly. The yuzu ale has the bright character you'd expect from a Fruit Ale, with ABV 6.0% and IBU 25.0. The yuzu aroma is layered with rye and oats, so it feels refreshing but still has some depth.
MugiRye and oats go into beer? This is starting to sound like you're talking about bread and breakfast.
Hop BroThey do. Rye gives it a slightly spicy edge, and oats help smooth out the mouthfeel. That's why it has complexity within all that freshness, instead of tasting like just plain yuzu juice.
MugiI see! So what about the other one, the Conix Brut IPA? Brut sounds kind of like a fancy champagne!
Hop BroThat's pretty much the idea. The sugar has been taken down hard, giving it a dry finish at ABV 6.5% and IBU 13.0. You can enjoy the hop aroma in a light, easygoing way, so it doesn't feel heavy.
MugiSo dry means it doesn't feel sticky in your mouth? That would make it easy to drink while eating too.
Hop BroExactly. The post also framed them as excellent drinking-with-food beers, and suggested white fish meunière, salmon marinated in citrus, and a cheese platter. The yuzu ale seems great with seafood, while the Brut IPA looks like a versatile palate reset.
MugiWow, yuzu ale with white fish meunière sounds like a sure hit! Even the salmon and cheese are going to show up whether they were invited or not!

MugiBeing able to compare beers from afternoon to evening is the best! Now I already want to raise a glass in Ichinomiya, and even deciding whether to start with the yuzu ale or the Brut IPA sounds fun!
