What is "DD4D IPA"?

About this beer

If you get lost, this one. A classic American West Coast IPA that uses plenty of hops. It is characterized by a citrus aroma from the hops, a refreshing scent like grassland, and a pleasant bitterness. The slightly sweet aftertaste of barley is also addictive. You can enjoy this beer on its own or paired with richly flavored dishes.

Why "DD4D IPA"？

Origin of name

We have made West Coast IPA, which originated on the West Coast of the United States, a staple so that you can continue to drink IPA as a classic staple. The name is a combination of the brand name and IPA, and is a straight “DD4D”. IPA”. Other staples include “Don Jalapeño” and “DAILY”. DOSE” is one of the reasons why I wanted to keep it simple.

Beer’s Story

Development story

Craft beer, which is full of diversity, uses various secondary ingredients, but I wanted to include at least one straight beer in the standard. When we visit a new brewery, the first thing we order is an IPA. It is a beer style that tests the brewery's ability. DD4D members also like IPA, so we aim to make a delicious IPA that both customers and staff will love.

Brew Hacks

Commitment to manufacturing

It's a simple beer style that doesn't use any secondary ingredients, so the quality and quantity of hops and brewing techniques are directly visible.
Since we use a lot of hops, it is important to control oxygen (to prevent the beer from deteriorating).
In addition, by adding a large amount of sugar (sucrose) that yeast can decompose, you can increase the degree while suppressing the sweetness.
The higher the degree, the better the hop aroma and the more IPA-like.

Captain's Comment

A word from our captain

Speaking of craft beer, West Coast IPA. I would like to master this beer more and more, although it is simple but deep. If you have a request to use this kind of hop, please feel free to suggest it. I will use it as a reference for next year's recipe! I love curry, and curry and IPA go really well together. Everyone should try it!
