Hop BroAt Chigasaki's HOP MAN, a milestone IPA from Ushitora Brewery just hit the taps. This is exactly the kind of news I can't ignore.
MugiWhat! A beer called 1000 Sen no Sake already sounds like a final boss fight!
Hop BroIt's Ushitora Brewery's 1000th brew, and the style is a Quadruple IPA. For an anniversary beer, they went all in.
MugiWait, Quadruple IPA? What is that, IPA with the difficulty set to maximum?
Hop BroPretty much an extra-powerful IPA, made with malt and a lot of granulated sugar to drive the strength way up.
MugiNo way, ABV 12.0%? One glass of that and my evening itinerary is gone!
Hop BroAnd the bitterness is pushed to IBU 100, so the edges stay sharp and punchy. The numbers are flexing.
MugiHold on, IBU 100 already made my tongue sit up straight. Are we sure this is still a beverage?
Hop BroThat's the fun part: with Citra, Mosaic, and Krush, it throws off fruit-mix juice aromas while still feeling surprisingly light on the palate.
MugiStrong, bitter, and still easy to drink? Plus that San Diego-style kind of punch? My brain is buffering!
Hop BroAnd HOP MAN keeps around 30 taps rotating, with a bottle shop and food pairings on top. That's a dangerous amount of temptation.
MugiThat is basically paradise! If I can taste Ushitora's milestone right now in Chigasaki, I have zero excuses left.
Hop BroThen it's settled, we're doing a toast to the milestone beer. I need to taste that dense aroma and hard bitterness for myself.
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Chigasaki’s Jokkenzaka area, has added Ushitora Brewery’s “1000 Sen no Sake ni Natte” to its lineup. The bar is known for rotating around 30 draft beers daily and also operates a bottle shop, making it a place where drinkers can pair beer with changing food offerings.
The newly tapped beer is a milestone release for Ushitora Brewery: its 1,000th beer batch. Brewed as a 12.0% ABV Quadruple IPA, it uses a large amount of sugar alongside malt to push the alcohol level higher. The beer is also set at IBU 100, giving it a firm and unmistakable bitterness.
According to the post, the dry hop bill includes Citra, Mosaic, and Krush. The brewery describes the result as having aromas and flavors reminiscent of mixed fruit juice, while still finishing lighter on the palate than its strength might suggest. The combination of high ABV, strong hop character, and a relatively smooth mouthfeel makes it a fitting celebratory beer for a 1,000-batch milestone.
For craft beer fans in Chigasaki, HOP MAN’s constantly changing tap list makes this kind of special release especially worth watching. It is a place where milestone beers like this can be enjoyed in the context of a broader, rotating draft selection.
