Hansharo Beer Brewing releases Kyou mo Manten in carbonated and Nitro versions
Hansharo Beer Brewing, based in Izunokuni, Shizuoka, has released its Beer Girl collaboration Hazy IPA, Kyou mo Manten, in two versions: a standard carbonated release and a Nitro version. The beer centers on passion fruit and the PINK hop.
Hop BroThis one really caught my eye: Shizuoka’s Hansharo Beer is releasing something fun. Their Beer Girls collab Hazy IPA, Kyo mo Manten, is coming in both a carbonated version and a Nitro version.
MugiWait, the same beer in two versions? The name already sounds cheerful, and now I have to pick between fizzy and nitro too? That feels unfair!
Hop BroExactly, and the base is a fruit-forward Hazy IPA. Passion fruit takes the lead, and the new hop PINK layers in berry-like and tropical aromas.
MugiWhoa, that new hop PINK sounds intense! Is it actually pink, or is the name just trying way too hard to be cute?
Hop BroCute name, serious business. It’s a highly expressive aroma hop that pushes juicy berry and tropical character right to the front.
MugiOkay, then what is the DIPHOP method? That sounds less like brewing and more like a wrestling move with entrance music.
Hop BroNo wrestling required. It’s a way to maximize hop aroma without making the beer feel too bitter, so the fruitiness comes through clean and bright.
MugiSo then what changes in Nitro? Is it just fancier foam, or am I about to need a whole new beer dictionary?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Nitrogen makes it silkier, with finer foam and a softer mouthfeel than regular carbonation. I totally get why they call it a reward beer for a tiring night.
Hop BroAnd the backstory matters too. Built with drinkers’ input, it came out of planning sessions and brewing work that included beer fans from the start.
MugiThat makes me want it even more! A reward-style Hazy IPA sounds perfect after work, and now I really want to compare both versions side by side.
Hop BroThere’s only one correct move now: open both and compare. I want to taste the difference in aroma and texture from Hansharo Beer right away.
Collaboration background
Hansharo Beer Brewing is a microbrewery in Izunokuni, Shizuoka. This release builds on Kyou mo Manten, a collaboration with Beer Girl, and is being offered in two versions: a standard carbonated edition and a Nitro edition.
The project began with planning sessions involving beer fans and moved on to a brew day at Hansharo Beer Brewing’s own brewery. That process gave the beer a participatory character, with drinkers helping shape the final concept.
Flavor design
The base beer is a Hazy IPA centered on passion fruit. It uses the latest hop variety, PINK, along with DIPHOP techniques to create a fragrant, juicy profile with tropical and berry-like notes.
The Nitro version replaces carbon dioxide with nitrogen gas, creating finer bubbles and a softer mouthfeel. The brewery describes it as a reward-style Nitro Hazy IPA for the end of a busy or tiring day.
A Hansharo Beer Brewing beer
Based in a city known for the Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace, Hansharo Beer Brewing often pairs local identity with careful brewing detail. Kyou mo Manten follows that approach, offering a comparison between the regular carbonated version and the Nitro version that changes both texture and finish.
