Hop BroToday I want to introduce Nara Brewing's Hazy IPA "CHARM," featured at Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa. On April 11, it's open from 10:00 to 22:00, so it's strong for dropping in from daytime all the way into the night.
MugiWhoa, dagashi, beer, and coffee? That's a lot of information! Even though it's a three-pillar shop, adding a Hazy IPA on top of that sounds way too fun.
Hop BroAnd "CHARM" is designed with a fruit-forward approach, combining Peacharine and Nelson Sauvin with Citra. It's aiming for aromas that suggest white peach and passion fruit.
MugiPeacharine? What is that! It sounds like the name of a peach, but is that really a hop?
Hop BroYes, it's a hop variety. In simple terms, it's a material that can bring out a peach-like impression, Nelson Sauvin gives a white grape-like character, and Citra adds bright citrus flair. So it becomes a three-part aroma trio.
MugiOhhh! And with 6.5% ABV and 18 IBU, it sounds like it would be easy to drink with restrained bitterness.
Hop BroExactly. With the soft mouthfeel typical of a Hazy, it's the kind that leans light and juicy rather than pushing bitterness hard.
MugiAnd if it's open from daytime through the night in Shimosuwa, it's the kind of place that makes you want to linger over some dagashi!
Hop BroChiitoko Shoten also has coffee, not just beer, so you can use it depending on your mood. Drinking a Hazy IPA in a place like this makes the whole atmosphere taste good.
MugiI completely want to drink it now! Today in Shimosuwa, I'm in the mood to have a glass of CHARM.
