Toki Brewery unveils three new beers, including Over Clock v1.0
Toki Brewery in Sado, Niigata, introduced three new beers in an Instagram post on June 16: its first Double IPA, Over Clock v1.0, plus Elixir v2.1 and the collaboration beer Currying v1.0. The release highlights both recipe choices and playful naming.
Hop BroBig news just landed from Sado: Toki Brewery has released three new beers all at once.
MugiWhat! Three at once? I'm already excited and I haven't even opened a can yet!
Hop BroFirst up is Over Clock v1.0, Toki Brewery's first Double IPA at 8.0% ABV and 68 IBU, built to hit with serious intensity.
MugiWait, what is double mash? That sounds like having breakfast twice!
Hop BroBasically, it's a way to make the wort richer. Then they dry-hopped it with CryoCitra, CryoIdaho7, and Mosaic for dank aroma plus tea-like and berry-like notes.
MugiWhoa, computer-core name on the outside, full hop-powered boss mode on the inside. That's kind of amazing!
Hop BroThen there's Elixir v2.1, a blonde-style ale with a revised base malt bill to spotlight Elixir hop notes like tangerine and passion fruit, with firm carbonation for an easy-drinking finish.
MugiThat has healing-item energy all over it! I want it for the name alone, and the crisp finish makes it sound super crushable.
Hop BroAnd Currying v1.0 is a collab with CurryShop B. near Niigata Station, a spice ale brewed with cinnamon, ginger, clove, cardamom, fennel, and Assam, clearly designed for curry pairing.
MugiWhat! It's basically a drinkable spice rack! The second you say 'made for curry,' my stomach starts applauding.
Hop BroThat's the charm here: craft and playfulness living together. The brewing is precise, but the names still wink at you with Over Clock, Elixir, and Currying.
MugiI've decided: I want all three. I want to wrestle with Over Clock, reset with Elixir, and let Currying win the match next to a plate of curry!
Toki Brewery, based in Sado, Niigata, introduced three new beers in an Instagram post on June 16. The lineup includes Over Clock v1.0, the brewery's first Double IPA; Elixir v2.1, a blonde-style ale; and Currying v1.0, a spice ale made with a curry shop partner.
The lineup
- Over Clock v1.0: A Double IPA at 8.0% ABV and 68 IBU. The brewery says it tried a double-mash approach, then dry-hopped with CryoCitra, CryoIdaho7, and Mosaic. The result is described with dank notes, plus tea-like and berry-like aromas, and a strong bitterness.
- Elixir v2.1: A refreshed version that changes the base malt to bring out more of Elixir hop's tangerine and passionfruit character. The beer is framed as a bright, easy-drinking ale with fruitiness, acidity, malt character, and lively carbonation.
- Currying v1.0: A collaboration with CurryShop B. near Niigata Station. Built as a spice ale, it uses cinnamon, ginger, clove, cardamom, fennel, and Assam tea, aiming for a beer that works alongside curry.
The naming also reflects Toki Brewery's style. Over Clock points to overclocking, Elixir references the game item, and Currying plays on curry and currying from programming. The post shows a brewery that likes to connect brewing technique, software language, and drinkability in the same release.
