Hop BroToday I want to talk about FUN LAGER, the new release from Manchin Brewery in Hokuto, Yamanashi. It’s a pretty culture-heavy collab with Tomoo Gokita and Somewhere in Tokyo.
MugiWait, a triple collaboration? For a beer? That already sounds more like an art opening than a drink release!
Hop BroExactly. It’s Manchin Brewery x Tomoo Gokita x Somewhere in Tokyo, and the style is a lager-style beer. It feels like the art concept is landing through a clean, easy drink.
MugiLager makes me think super crushable, but IBU 22? What is that? A secret code? A beer password?
Hop BroIBU is basically a bitterness scale. At 22, it should feel more gently crisp than aggressively bitter. And with ABV at 5.0%, it sounds nicely approachable too.
MugiOhh, so it’s easygoing strength. I love that the art might look serious, but the beer itself sounds friendly.
Hop BroThat’s the nice part. Manchin Brewery is good at connecting Hokuto’s local vibe with culture, and this time they’re showing the collab context too. It’s not just 'new beer' and done.
MugiWhat is that, like a drinkable exhibition? I feel like opening the can would make me sit up straight and appreciate it properly!
Hop BroAnd they’re directing sales through Instagram’s profile link, with a related collab page live too. So this is a go check it now kind of release.
MugiI’m done for, I want one tonight. Hop, you handle the serious aroma-analysis face. I’ll handle the loud 'wow, this is good!' part.
Hop BroFair enough. But I bet after the first sip we’ll both just want to toast before saying anything technical. FUN LAGER feels like one you have to drink and find out.
