Hop BroToday I want to talk about Beer O'clock in Chiba pouring BREW CLASSIC's new tap headliner, Super Mandrill.
MugiWhat! Super Mandrill sounds less like a beer and more like a boss battle!
Hop BroIt’s an IPA at 6.5%, built on a crisp finish while carrying soft haze and a lot of juicy fruit character.
MugiWait, crisp and hazy together? That is commuter-train levels of information!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part: the WLP008 yeast softens the texture, so it stays sharp without feeling too harsh.
MugiWLP008? That sounds like a secret agent codename!
Hop BroBasically, it’s the yeast strain, and here it’s the soft-mouthfeel specialist doing the quiet heavy lifting.
MugiOhhh, and citrus, tropical fruit, pineapple, peach, passion fruit? That’s a full-on fruit traffic jam!
Hop BroExactly, and Beer O'clock goes further by pairing it with a shirasu skillet omelet with dried tomato and basil.
MugiTiny fish, tomato, basil, eggs... that’s basically a savory flavor blanket for the IPA!
Hop BroBeer O'clock is one of those places where chasing guest kegs is half the fun, so this feels like a catch-it-on-tap beer.
MugiI’m sold. After hearing all that, first round is decided and I want this poured immediately!
BREW CLASSIC's Super Mandrill arrives as a new tap
Beer O'clock, a beer pub in Chiba's Fujimi district, has added BREW CLASSIC's Super Mandrill as a guest beer. The beer is listed as an IPA at 6.5%. According to the post, it is built around a crisp finish, with a soft mouthfeel and gentle haze from WLP008, plus layered fruit character that suggests citrus, tropical fruit, pineapple, peach, and passion fruit.
What fits Beer O'clock well is that the beer is meant to be enjoyed with food, not just on its own. The suggested pairing is a skillet omelet with shirasu, sun-dried tomato, and basil, a combination that should work nicely with the beer's fruit-forward profile and clean finish.
For drinkers who enjoy following guest tap rotations, this is the kind of update worth watching at a pub like Beer O'clock, where the tap list itself is part of the appeal.
