RIOT BEER announced a release party for FRUIT GOSE w/ Meyer Lemon at RIOTBEER KATSUNUMA BASE on Saturday, July 11 at around noon. The Setagaya brewpub’s malt-forward house style sets the stage for a summer-leaning sour.
Hop BroBig one today: RIOT BEER is tapping the Katsunuma BASE release of “FRUIT GOSE w/ Meyer Lemon” around noon on Saturday, July 11.
MugiWait, Meyer lemon in beer? That already sounds like summer vacation in a glass!
Hop BroYep, and this is a fruit gose pour, so you can expect tartness and juicy citrus right up front.
MugiWhat is that, what even is gose? It sounds less like beer and more like a boss battle.
Hop BroSimple version: it's a lightly salty sour. Bright acidity, a touch of salt, and a clean snap at the end.
MugiWhoa. But RIOT BEER is known for malt-forward character, right? Doesn't that fight with the sour part?
Hop BroThat's the cool part. With a plush malt base, the lemon can pop without making the beer feel thin.
MugiSo it's not just sharp, it also has real body underneath? That's annoyingly overachieving.
Hop BroAnd the post introduces it as a beer brewed together, which makes it extra special since it was brewed at Katsunuma BASE and poured there too.
MugiSo you're basically drinking the whole backstory with it? That is unfairly cool.
Hop BroExactly. Try it next to the regular lineup and RIOT BEER right now comes into focus fast. I'd order this first.
MugiThen it's settled, I want a pint now. Tart lemon, fruit, malt, summer, done.
RIOT BEER’s Instagram post announced a release event for FRUIT GOSE w/ Meyer Lemon. The beer will be opened at RIOTBEER KATSUNUMA BASE in Koshu, Yamanashi, starting around noon on Saturday, July 11. The post describes it as a beer that was brewed together, which makes the release feel closely tied to the brewery’s Katsunuma operation.
RIOT BEER is a brewpub in Kinuta, Setagaya. On its official site, the brewery says it started as a small brewery tucked into a residential neighborhood and highlights a malt-forward approach. In that context, this Meyer Lemon fruit gose reads as a seasonal beer built around acidity and fruit character, with a profile that should fit summer drinking well.
Beyond the release itself, the post also reinforces what makes RIOT BEER distinctive: a neighborhood brewery with a clear house identity, plus a second base that connects the beer to its place of origin. For drinkers, that means there is a story behind the glass, not just a tap list.
