VERTERE to release SOLSO FARM collaboration pack on July 17
VERTERE, the Okutama-based brewery behind Beer Cafe Batele, has announced three new beers, led by a SOLSO FARM collaboration called Macranthos. The release is set for July 17 at 12:00, with two companion beers arriving alongside it.
Hop BroI can't stop thinking about VERTERE's three new beers. Okutama's VERTERE, the team behind Beer Cafe Vertere, is dropping three releases including a SOLSO FARM collab at 12:00 p.m. on July 17.
MugiWait, a SOLSO FARM collab means beer with a plant-focused farm market? That already sounds like something I want to drink on a balcony.
Hop BroThe centerpiece is Macranthos by name and it's an American Pale Ale. At 5.5% ABV and 30 IBU, it layers citrus, flowers, herbs, and even a fresh-cut grass kind of aroma.
MugiHold on, 30 IBU means what exactly? Is that one of those numbers that makes beer suddenly look intimidating?
Hop BroIBU is basically a bitterness guide. Around 30 usually means not a face-punch bitter bomb, more like a gentle edge riding alongside the light malt.
MugiOhh, fresh-cut grass aroma sounds scary for one second, but you mean herbal and breezy. So it's like someone turned a park into something delicious.
Hop BroAnd the same drop includes Solandra in the lineup, an American IPA at 6.5% ABV and 20 IBU. It's the fruit-forward one, and it sounds lighter on its feet than the IPA label suggests.
MugiWhat is that, an easygoing IPA? I was expecting a bitter gym bro, and instead it shows up carrying a basket of fruit.
Hop BroThen there's Melilotus as well, a Belgian Pale Ale at 5.5% ABV and 12 IBU. That's where the spicy nuance comes in, so the three beers split up plant, fruit, and spice impressions.
MugiAnd the collab pack setup is Macranthos x2, Solandra x1, and Melilotus x1, right? Get a few friends over and suddenly you're hosting a full debate night.
Hop BroVERTERE is really good at aroma-first recipe design. You can feel the balance between natural atmosphere and drinkability, and honestly I want to taste them side by side the minute they launch.
MugiThat's it, I'm waiting for noon on July 17. I'm starting with Macranthos, and you absolutely look like you're opening all three.
Release Details
VERTERE, the brewery based in Okutama, Tokyo, has announced three new beers at once. The centerpiece is `Macranthos`, a collaboration with SOLSO FARM, the farm market operated by DAISHIZEN in Kawasaki. The release is scheduled for July 17 at 12:00, and the beer will also be offered as part of a SOLSO FARM collab pack.
`Macranthos` is an American Pale Ale with 5.5% ABV and 30 IBU. According to the brewery’s description, it layers aromas reminiscent of citrus, flowers, herbs, and freshly cut grass over a light malt character and gentle bitterness. The result is positioned as a fresh, plant-like pale ale with a bright aromatic profile.
Two other beers arrive alongside it: `Solandra`, an American IPA at 6.5% ABV and 20 IBU, and `Melilotus`, a Belgian Pale Ale at 5.5% ABV and 12 IBU. The SOLSO FARM Collab Pack contains two bottles of Macranthos, one Solandra, and one Melilotus, with each beer expressing a different facet of the same botanical theme.
For VERTERE, which has long been associated with the Beer Cafe Batele name in Okutama, this release fits neatly with the brewery’s nature-forward identity. The lineup is straightforward, but the flavor direction is clear: aromatic, approachable, and built around the connection between beer and the plant world.
