Been pumping the iron for years—pushing the proverbial envelope. The behind the curtain micro management, resourcefulness and attention to detail have been something to behold from afar.

At long last we get to tandem with one of our favorite spots—and let me be the first to say that hanging with Shibata-san and talking shop is wayyyyy too much fun. The collabo is also very collaborative—taking hints from Oni Densetsu’s hazy grain comp, and having a visit for direct hop selection action, this one is both decidedly WCB and yet has an awesome edge = a cool experience for any of our haze-crazed regulars. Fruity and fun is the name of the game having a legit Hop Legend in the house made this one rad. Grab it before it’s gone, or before we chase it down proper 😉
