Manchin Brewing announces a six-can subscription that can be canceled starting the following month, shipping Hokuto flavors month by month
In an Instagram post at 19:22 on March 7, 2026, Manchin Brewing (Yamanashi) announced a craft beer subscription plan that can be canceled starting the following month. The service delivers a six-can set once a month for JPY 3,900 including tax, pairing two staple beers with four rotating selections, including new releases.
Hop BroToday’s highlight is Manchin Brewing in Hokuto, Yamanashi! They’ve launched the "Manchin Brewing Craft Beer 6-Can Set Subscription" on Instagram. Once a month, you get six cans for JPY 3,900 including tax, and it’s 30% off the regular price.
MugiWhat? Six cans for JPY 3,900 and 30% off? What is that, and isn’t a subscription usually super restrictive?
Hop BroThat’s the strong part: you can cancel starting the following month. It’s designed to be easy to keep going, with two regular beers plus four rotating selections each month.
MugiOhhh! Which two regular beers are they? Are they easy for beginners to drink too?
Hop BroThe regulars are NEW COLONY (FARMHOUSE ALE) and WHOLE HIGH WORLD (AMERICAN PALE ALE). For March, SCHWARZ, DAIKON FARMHOUSE ALE, DISKOSICK, and POWERED BY SUN are also included, so the range runs from black beer to yuzu lager.
MugiThat’s a lot of info! It says the ABV range is 4.5% to 6.5%, but what’s ABV? Is that some kind of spell?
Hop BroIt means alcohol by volume. At 4.5% to 6.5%, it’s easy to compare beers from light to more substantial. And the local ingredients are interesting too, like the farmhouse ale made with Akeno’s Asao daikon radish, or the yuzu lager made with pesticide-free yuzu from Yamanashi.
MugiBeer made with daikon? Yuzu lager? You could go on a Hokuto trip right from the fridge!
Hop BroExactly. Manchin Brewing is based at MANGOSTEEN HOKUTO and does "craft beer 2.0" with Mt. Kayagatake’s underground water and local fruit and vegetables. The setup is smart because you get the comfort of the staples while naturally running into new releases.
MugiAll right, then let’s toast with that this month! I’ll take the yuzu lager first, and Hop-bro gets the daikon ale! ...I want to drink it already!
Manchin Brewing announced acceptance for its "Manchin Brewing Craft Beer 6-Can Set Subscription" on Instagram. According to the post, the price is JPY 3,900 including tax, which is 30% off compared with regular purchase. To make it easy to continue, the plan can also be canceled starting the following month.
Each month’s lineup consists of the two regular beers below, plus four beers selected by the brewery, for a total of six cans:
- NEW COLONY (FARMHOUSE ALE)
- WHOLE HIGH WORLD (AMERICAN PALE ALE)
For March, the featured beers are SCHWARZ, DAIKON FARMHOUSE ALE, DISKOSICK, and POWERED BY SUN, giving the set a wide range that spans from black beer to yuzu lager. With an ABV range of 4.5% to 6.5%, the lineup is designed for side-by-side tasting enjoyment.
What stands out in particular is the use of local ingredients. The post introduces a farmhouse ale made with Akeno’s specialty Asao daikon radish, as well as a lager made with pesticide-free yuzu from Yamanashi Prefecture. By including both staples and seasonal elements, the subscription seems to offer a practical way to avoid missing out on releases while naturally discovering new beers.
Manchin Brewing is a brewery located at MANGOSTEEN HOKUTO, a mixed-use site in Akeno, Hokuto City, Yamanashi. Alongside the liquor store and event space Manchin Saketen and the gyoza eatery Manchin Bao, it brews with underground water from Mt. Kayagatake and local fruit and vegetables, promoting a "craft beer 2.0" concept centered on regional character. This new subscription can be seen as a practical entry point for bringing that local flavor into everyday refrigerators.
