Choryo Sake Brewery announces August variety set B with three beers
Choryo Sake Brewery in Koryo Town, Nara, is offering a new craft beer set, “August Variety Set B” with six bottles. The lineup pairs SUMMER ALE, Krush/Mosaic HAZY IPA, and Rice Lager, two bottles each, with shipping starting on August 20.
Hop BroNara's Choryo Shuzo is putting out August New Release Set B. It has two each of SUMMER ALE, Krush/Mosaic HAZY IPA, and Rice Lager, so it's built for a proper tasting run.
MugiWait, a 3-beer 6-bottle set? That is way better than any summer reward I've ever had!
Hop BroAnd the headline pour is SUMMER ALE, using next-gen European hops with a summer-focused aroma design.
MugiWhoa! But thiol release technology? What is that? It sounds like a finishing move!
Hop BroBasically, it's like an aroma switch that unlocks hidden hop character. It helps citrusy, white-grape-like notes pop out more clearly.
MugiOkay, got it! Then what about Krush and Mosaic? That already sounds like a festival duo!
Hop BroHAZY IPA is that cloudy, juicy style that's all about expressive hop aroma. This one leans hard into the fragrant side, so aroma fans are going to love it.
MugiNice! So is Rice Lager the chill one? If it's not too bitter, I could crush that.
Hop BroThat's the charm. It uses Nara-grown rice, and a soft rice sweetness drifts in at the end. Since the hop and malt edges stay restrained, it's easy to keep drinking.
MugiSo even within Choryo Shuzo, there's a real range for comparison. And the sake-brewery background makes me even more curious!
Hop BroChoryo Shuzo started in 1963, launched CHORYO Craft Beer in 2021, and keeps pushing monthly releases. This set also starts shipping after August 20 and deliveries run through September 8.
MugiAt 3,740 yen tax included, my brain is already doing a cheers in advance. SUMMER ALE first, or Rice Lager to warm up? I want this now.
Hop BroDebating the order is half the fun. I'm already at open all three levels, so let's lock in the set and get them ice cold.
