Guest Beers Arrive at Bia Ma Kitasenju: Kyoto Brewing Brett IPA and More in Stock
At the beer pub "Bia Ma Kitasenju" in Kitasenju, an announcement about guest beers has been posted. It introduces Kyoto Brewing's Brett IPA, NAMACHA'n × Brew Beast's Hazy IPA, Three Suns-related barrel-aged stout and barley wine, plus a collaboration beer by Omnipollo and Azha.
Hop BroAt Bia Ma Kitasenju in Kitasenju, there’s a pretty daring lineup of guest beers. Kyoto Brewing, NAMACHA'n × Brew Beast, and even Three Suns-related beers are here, so the whole place already feels like a festival.
MugiWhoa! It's a guest beer festival! But what is a Brett in Kyoto Brewing's "Disappeared Blanket Brett IPA"? And if the blanket disappeared, won't it be cold!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: a Brett IPA shows off the character of Brettanomyces yeast. It gives a little wildness and acidity, so it has a much fuller expression than a regular IPA.
MugiOhhh! So does "Disappeared Blanket" mean something like the aroma of wild yeast instead of fluffy softness? The mystery only deepens from the name alone!
Hop BroExactly. And this time there's also Michinoku Silky Monster. It's NAMACHA'n × Brew Beast's Herb & spice Hazy IPA, a soft but highly distinctive beer where hop aroma is layered with herbal and spicy notes.
MugiWhat is that! Herb and spice notes? The beer suddenly sounds like a cooking show. Is it something that smells airy but still tastes rich?
Hop BroExactly. A Hazy IPA is known for its soft mouthfeel. It looks hazy, the bitterness is rounded, and the aroma is pushed to the front, so it's easy to drink but still satisfying.
MugiThat makes sense! But Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout suddenly brings in a grown-up kind of depth. Does aging it in barrels really change it that much?
Hop BroIt really does. It develops the thickness that comes from barrel aging, and picks up vanilla-like notes and the aroma of whiskey barrels. The Three Suns / Vintage Nectar bottle is dark, rich, and the kind you want to sip slowly.
MugiAnd there are four barley wines? Just choosing sounds like enough to get you tipsy! It sounds sweet too, and I'm curious about the Omnipollo × Azha collaboration beer.
Hop BroThe staff are recommending that one too, as a sweet-tasting bottle. Numbers 1 through 3 sound like they're running low, so we should go while we can still compare them in Kitasenju.
MugiYeah, I want to compare beers in Kitasenju! The blanket, the herbs, the barrels, everything sounds interesting, so tonight's beer plan is set.
