Mikkeller single hops!

A few months back, I warned that more Mikkeller single hop ales were on the way. Now that I have just sampled the Mikkeller 10. From the initial 10 single hop beers it is about time for the next set to start.

Personally, the two that I am looking forward to the most are Citra and Sorachi Ace.

So now I need East Kent Goldings and these new five to complete the series.

What about you? Which of these five are you looking forward to?

Hitachino Nest – Nipponia

Let’s talk more Japanese beer!
Even they are getting on the locavore bandwagon!
“Kiuchi Brewery succeeded in reproducing ‘Kaneko Golden,’ the first beer malt in Japan. This Nipponia is brewed using only this malt.

We use ‘Sorachi Ace’ as the hop, one which was once breeding in Hookaido and now is cultivated in Washington D.C.

The color Nipponia is gold, worthy of the name, and the flavour is like a lemon produced by Sorachi Ace.”
