Guest Beer

CRAFT KOFU in Kofu, Yamanashi, introduced a guest beer from Uchu Brewing: TITAN. The beer is a DDH West Coast IPA with 6.5% ABV, a profile that should immediately catch the attention of IPA drinkers.

The post also shares the concept behind the beer. TITAN is presented with a space-themed story centered on a familiar solar system and a legendary IPA said to have been drunk on the mythical continent of Amber on Titan. It gives the beer a clear identity beyond the style label.

Hop-wise, the beer uses Mosaic, Simcoe, and New Zealand Superdelic. The brewer's note describes flavors of peach, tropical fruit, and citrus, with a clean bitter finish. That suggests a balance of expressive aroma and the crisp bitterness associated with West Coast IPA.

CRAFT KOFU is a beer pub in central Kofu, and guest beer updates like this are part of the appeal. TITAN looks like a straightforward pick for drinkers who want a hop-forward IPA with a sharp finish and layered aroma.
