Hop BroSo BREW CLASSIC in Kanazawa brewed "Tamayaradius" to celebrate Tamaya's 13th anniversary near Kanazawa Station. I love these kinds of local connections.
MugiWhoa! A commemorative beer can have that much drama? The fact that it's not just a limited release makes it feel kind of moving.
Hop BroAnd the style is Hazy IPA. It's 6.5% ABV, made with Pilsner, Wheat Malt, and Flaked Oats to give it a soft, hazy mouthfeel.
MugiHuh! But what exactly are flaked oats? That sounds like breakfast cereal. You put that in beer?
Hop BroGood question. Oats make the mouthfeel smoother and add a rich, viscous thickness to the body. That's one of the reasons they're used so often in Hazy IPAs.
MugiI see! So what about the hops? When I hear a Nelson-centered recipe, it already sounds delicious!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: they layer Sabro cryo on top of Nelson to aim for pineapple and lychee, plus a touch of orange. Apparently, as the temperature rises, vanilla also starts to come through.
MugiWait, the flavor changes with temperature!? Vanilla rising up makes me want to keep tasting it while I drink!
Hop BroExactly. They also adjusted the hop timing to keep bitterness down and bring it together with a smooth mouthfeel. It's designed not to get in the way even when paired with food.
MugiThat's great! It's a brewery near Kanazawa Port, and they also have the Taproom BREW CLASSIC. If I can easily grab draft beer or cans, I'd want to swing by right away!
Hop BroYeah, and because this beer is packed with the story of its ties to a local shop, it's nice that you can drink not just a new release but the story behind it too. For tonight, this is the first beer for sure.
Kanazawa brewery BREW CLASSIC has unveiled a Hazy IPA to celebrate the anniversary of a local shop.
This beer is called "Tamayaradius." It was made to commemorate the 13th anniversary of "Tamaya" near Kanazawa Station, and BREW CLASSIC's post also touches on the long-standing relationship with the shop since the brewery's early days. Before the taproom even opened, back when they were selling directly only on weekends from a corner of the brewery, the owner of Tamaya reportedly came by to buy beer. That episode shows that this one glass is not just a limited release, but part of a long relationship.
What's in the Beer
- Beer Name: Tamayaradius
- Style: Hazy IPA
- ABV: 6.5%
- Malt: Pilsner, Wheat Malt, Flaked Oats
- Hop: Nelson, Sabro cryo

The core of the recipe is a hop bill centered on Nelson, layered with Sabro cryo. It is said to bring out fruit notes reminiscent of pineapple, orange, and lychee, with hints of vanilla that gently emerge as the temperature rises. By increasing the proportion of wheat malt and adjusting the hop additions, the beer is designed to keep bitterness low and the mouthfeel smooth. The intent is clear: a drinkable Hazy IPA that goes well with food and is easy to keep drinking.
