CAGHIYA Brewery Introduces Father’s Day Lemon Fruit Pale Ale "Lemon It Be"
CAGHIYA Brewery in Kawasaki’s Nakahara Ward has introduced Lemon It Be, a Father’s Day fruit pale ale built around lemon juice, citrusy hops, and a light, dry finish. The beer is being offered as part of a Father’s Day limited set in the brewery’s online shop.
Hop BroI’ve got a Father's Day beer to talk about. Kagiya Brewery in Nakahara, Kawasaki is introducing a fruit pale ale called "Lemon It Be."
MugiWait, Lemon It Be is such a good name! Hand that to your dad and the whole room instantly feels more relaxed.
Hop BroAnd the recipe is serious too. Lemon juice acidity, Cascade and Centennial aroma, plus first wort hopping to build the bitterness from the ground up.
MugiWhat is first wort hopping? It sounds like something you say three times and a brewer appears.
Hop BroIt means adding hops very early in the brewing process. That helps create a lemon-tea bitterness that feels elegant instead of harsh.
MugiOhhh! So it’s not just sour, it actually hangs together. And if it has a low-sweetness build, that sounds perfect for a hot day!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a Fruit Pale Ale, 6.0% ABV, 32 IBU, with a light, dry finish, so it really fits that first-glass slot.
MugiThe moment you start throwing out numbers, your bar-manager mode fully activates! But can I handle 32 IBU without making a weird face?
Hop BroYeah, I think so. It’s pale gold and approachable, and Kagiya runs CAGHIYA TAP ROOM in Musashi-Nakahara, so that local, everyday drinkability is part of their style.
MugiAnd there’s even a Father's Day set online? That’s way too considerate. Buy it for dad, then conveniently stand next to him with your own glass.
Hop BroIf you chill this properly and crack it open in the afternoon or after work, it’s basically first-pour material. Now I really want one.
MugiSame! It looks like a gift beer, but it’s secretly wrecking my self-control. I want it ice cold right now!
A seasonal release for Father’s Day
CAGHIYA Brewery, a small craft brewery in Nakahara Ward, Kawasaki, is highlighting a Father’s Day seasonal beer called Lemon It Be. The brewery produces and sells its beers by hand, and has built a local following through its approachable, flavorful ales and its direct taproom business in Musashi-Nakahara.
Lemon, citrus hops, and a clean finish
Lemon It Be is a fruit pale ale designed around the fresh acidity of lemon juice. The brewery pairs that with the citrus notes of Cascade and Centennial hops, then adds Tettnanger and First Gold through first-wort hopping to build a gentle bitterness reminiscent of lemon tea. The result is meant to stay light on the palate, with restrained sweetness and a dry finish.
