MugiWhat! Coffee and stout is already a win! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a Coffee Stout, 5% ABV and 330 ml. And it wasn’t just "mixed together" either they really went into recipe development, all the way down to malt design and hop selection.
MugiMalt design sounds like a sudden science class! So what exactly is so impressive about including hop selection too?
Hop BroSimply put, they’re layering hop aroma on top of coffee’s bitterness, acidity, and aroma without making them clash. On top of that, they use a generous amount of caramel malt to create a smooth mouthfeel and a sweet finish.
MugiOhh, so it’s not just "bitter" - it’s something that pairs well with dessert too! Definitely a chocolate cake beer!
Hop BroExactly. I like that they’re thinking about after-dinner pairings. Also, because it’s unfiltered, sediment can appear, but that’s something you can enjoy as part of the flavor too.
MugiSediment means the stuff that settles at the bottom, right? That might be surprising at first, but if you know, it actually makes you seem like a connoisseur! How’s the sale set up?
Hop BroThere are single bottles, 6-packs, and 12-packs, plus mixed sets with popular labels. There are also free-shipping sets, and orders will be shipped in refrigerated delivery starting on or after February 12, in the order they were received. It’s limited quantity, so sales end when it’s gone.
MugiWhat, I need to hurry! If it’s tied to the Nasu Boulder Project for regional revitalization, then drinking it is also a way to support the area... I want to open that Coffee Stout right now!
Hop BroAgreed. Tonight, let’s get dessert ready and wait for that sweet finish. This one from Nasu Garden Brewery is definitely the kind of beer that makes you want to drink it.
On the Instagram account operated by Nasu Garden Brewery (Tochigi), the start of sales for the collaboration product "Coffee Stout" was announced. The partner this time is roaster Hitsuji Coffee. The post emphasized that the recipe development went beyond simply combining coffee and beer, extending into malt design and hop selection as well.
Product Highlights
- First collaboration product: Coffee Stout
- Alcohol content: 5%
- Volume: 330 ml
- Approximate best-before date: about 90 days from shipment
- Unfiltered production, so sediment may be present
The flavor design aims to layer hop aroma over the bitterness, acidity, and aroma derived from coffee. Caramel malt is used heavily to give the beer a smoother mouthfeel and a sweet finish, making it a design that should also pair well with desserts after a meal.
Sales Configuration and Shipping
Sales will be offered not only as single bottles, 6-bottle packs, and 12-bottle packs, but also as mixed sets with existing popular labels. The post also announced sets including products that won awards at the world's five major competitions in 2025, as well as combination sets with three popular items from the online store. Delivery will be by refrigerated shipping, and orders will be shipped in sequence as soon as they are ready on or after February 12. Because quantities are limited, sales will end once stock runs out.
Brewery Background
Through its "Nasu desu na" brand, the brewery operates in conjunction with the "Nasu Boulder Project," which aims to promote the appeal of the Nasu area and revitalize the region. The official website also states a policy of using part of the revenue from craft beer for local initiatives, so this collaboration appears to be a release that balances a "locally rooted context" with "technical collaboration between specialists."
