We teamed up with our friends at Minoh Beer in Osaka for this one - a dank/fruity kettle sour layered with peach/passionfruit/pineapple, dry-hopped with Freestyle Waimea and Rakau. For the naming we wanted to get something related to monkey/osaru (the Minoh mascot) etc. it just so happened that on brew day we had several 90s hip-hop fans (of different persuasions), and thus the Beastie Boys reference. Art-wise, Minoh tends to do collabs or seasonals with something hanging or attached to their mascot’s neck etc., so we went with a bit of bling bling to connect it to the naming and give it a touch of that Hop Dude summer influence. Brass Monkey drinks dry and dank, with aromas and flavors that fluctuate and linger for a moment on the palate before pushing you to pick up the glass for one more sip. The perfect tart treat for a humid summer evening.
