Hop BroBreaking news: Ise Kadoya Beer’s Kagami Plant teamed up with HUB to release a limited "Nelson IPA." It was announced in an Instagram post at 20:00 on March 7, 2026!
MugiWhat! You can drink Ise Kadoya Beer at HUB?! That's basically craft beer being put on the commute home route!
Hop BroExactly. It’s an American IPA, and the standout feature is its rich, tropical hop aroma that brings to mind white grape, mango, and orange.
MugiWhat does that even mean? I always hear "the hop aroma really comes through," but what is it actually like? Does the foam talk?
Hop BroThe foam doesn’t talk, but I get what you mean. It means that the moment you bring the glass close, a fruit-like aroma rises first. It’s designed to put the first impression of the aroma ahead of the bitterness.
MugiOhhh! So even IPA beginners could easily go, "Whoa, fruity!" and get into it!
Hop BroYeah, and even though it’s limited distribution, it’s great that it’s easy to target. It’s available at HUB Tokyo Opera City, Fujisawa, Kawaguchi, HUB+82 Ikebukuro WACCA, and at 82 locations including Kanda, Shinagawa, Akasaka, Kannai, Mita, Hamamatsucho, Shinjuku Sanchome, AKIBA TOLIM, Tsukiji, Shinjuku Nishiguchi O-Ga-Dou, Higashi-Ginza, Shibuya Miyamasuzaka, Gotanda Nishiguchi, and Yokohama Nishiguchi.
MugiSo many locations! If I started a stamp rally, my liver would probably reach the finish line first!
Hop BroWhat’s great about collaborations like this is that they create a gateway to craft beer at neighborhood pubs. It feels like a brewery with historic roots in Ise, promoting world-class standards, is coming down into the everyday pint.
MugiIt’s decided! Tonight we’re going to HUB or 82 for "Nelson IPA"! White grape, mango, and orange, I’m catching them all with my nose!
Hop BroThat’s the spirit. Then let’s practice the toast line: the first thing to say is, "The aroma wins!"

This announcement is a good example of how a collaboration between a craft brewery and a pub chain can expand drinking opportunities into the city. Based in Ise, Mie, Ise Kadoya Beer continues brewing while promoting "world-class quality" in its official information. The brewery’s parent company has deep historical roots in Ise and has long been grounded in the local community while also embracing domestic and international beer evaluation standards.
Seen in the context of collaborations, this "Nelson IPA" balances "limited distribution" with a clearly distinctive aroma. For regular HUB and 82 customers, it could serve as an entry point into craft beer, while existing beer fans may find it a practical option for intentionally seeking out a drink when going out.
