BLACK FOX BEER's "The Dark Era" release event at MoyaMoya Base in Sapporo
BLACK FOX BEER will hold a release event for the first entry in its new collection, The Dark Era, at MoyaMoya Base in Sapporo on June 20. The lineup highlighted in the post includes two cacao-driven beers: Cacao Porter and CacaoCrown.
Hop BroThere’s an event in Sapporo worth tracking: on June 20, Moyamoya Base is hosting the The Dark Era release.
MugiWait, that sounds intense! Final boss beer vibes already. Is this a drink or a battle?
Hop BroIt’s the first BLACK FOX BEER collection, and it’s bringing two cacao beers: Cacao Porter and CacaoCrown.
MugiCacaoCrown sounds cool, but first: what is porter? Black beer always looks weirdly advanced!
Hop BroPorter is a dark style built on roasted malt, and Cacao Porter at ABV 6.0 leans into an easygoing dark beer profile.
MugiWhoa, okay! But IBU 15 sounds like a math problem. What am I being tested on?
Hop BroIBU is the bitterness scale, and 15 means soft rather than punchy. It’s also a collab with a popular Niseko chocolate shop, so the cacao husks leave a roasty cocoa finish.
MugiThey’re using cacao husks too? That’s efficient and delicious. So this has dessert pairing energy, right?
Hop BroExactly. Cacao Porter sounds great with sweets, and CacaoCrown highlights the series with an upcycled cacao idea using husks that never became chocolate.
MugiThat’s amazing, turning leftovers into luxury. Also, cacao husk sounds so fancy I want to pretend I knew it already.
Hop BroIt just means the cacao shell. And tasting the launch of a new series at Moyamoya Base in central Sapporo makes me want both pours immediately.
MugiSame. On June 20, I need a side-by-side tasting of Cacao Porter and CacaoCrown before my curiosity files a complaint.
Release event in Sapporo
BLACK FOX BEER announced the first release in its collection, The Dark Era, with a launch event at MoyaMoya Base in Sapporo on June 20. The venue is a beer pub located in Chuo Ward, Sapporo, which makes it a convenient stop for tasting a new release in the city center.
The two beers introduced
The post highlights two beers: `Cacao Porter` and `CacaoCrown`. `Cacao Porter` is a porter with ABV 6.0 and IBU 15, created in collaboration with a popular chocolate shop in Niseko. It uses cacao shells generated during chocolate production and is described as having a roasted, aromatic cacao finish, with sweet-style pairings recommended.
`CacaoCrown` is brewed using cacao husks that never quite became chocolate, repurposed through upcycling. In the post, it is presented as a luxurious beer built around the cacao used in the project, giving the series a second angle on the same ingredient.
Why it stands out
With a theme built around cacao, the release offers a clear contrast between roasted porter character and the more ingredient-driven profile of the upcycled beer. For beer fans, the event at MoyaMoya Base is a chance to catch a limited release in a dedicated beer-pub setting and compare how BLACK FOX BEER interprets the same cacao concept across two different beers.
