Kings Cross-based Two Tribes has launched a series of variants of its session IPA Metroland, each inspired by the team’s favourite cities.

Available as a can boxset, the brewery has complemented the original London Metroland with 4.2% NYC, 3.9% Rio and 4.0% Tokyo.

Christoffer Tuominen, head brewer, explained: “ For New York I wanted to pay homage to the classic American IPA so we’ve used caramel malts to fill out the body and pushed the hops for more bitterness to get that oh so satisfying and moreish Seville orange flavour that just invites you for a second sip.

“With Rio my thoughts instantly went to Ipanema and the yellow colour of the Brazilian national teams home strip. So we set out to make a yellow and tropical beer that would be a real quencher on the beach.

“It uses a malt base that’s very close to an American wheat ale to make it super soft and yellow. We finished it off with some galaxy hops to evoke flavours of pêssego and maracujá. 

Tokyo is inspired by the legendary Izakayas in Omoide Yokocho. What you really want to be drinking with all the savoury treats served up is something dry and refreshing.

“Brewed with rice for a dry finish and hopped with Azacca and Summit producing flavours of intense but refreshing citrus with floral side notes of pineapple. It’s great on its own or with a meal.”
