Hansharo Beer Brewing introduces limited "Kyou mo Manten Nitro" with Beer Girl
Hansharo Beer Brewing has introduced "Kyou mo Manten Nitro," a limited collaboration beer with Beer Girl, the web magazine and community devoted to beer. The release turns a passion-fruit-led Hazy IPA into a Nitro version, packaged in 350 ml cans and 10 L kegs.
Hop BroThis one really caught my eye: Hansharo Beer's collab. They teamed up with Beer Girls for Kyo mo Manten Nitro, and the name already sounds like a winner.
MugiWait, Kyo mo Manten Nitro sounds like an energy drink. That's actually a beer?!
Hop BroVery much a beer. It's a passion fruit Hazy IPA, then finished in Nitro form, so it's juicy but much softer on the palate.
MugiI've heard of Hazy IPA, but Nitro style? What is that, like the fluffy top on canned coffee?
Hop BroPretty close, actually. Nitrogen bubbles are much finer, so instead of sharp fizz you get a creamy texture and a slower fruit finish.
MugiWhoa! Then I saw the DIPHOP method and Pink in the article, and suddenly I felt like I'd wandered into chemistry class!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It's basically aroma-first hopping, using Pink with Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic Cryo, Sabro Cryo, and Simcoe to stack up berry and tropical character.
MugiThat lineup is ridiculous! Like a fruit basket made of hops, but the finish is still gentle? That's not fair.
Hop BroAnd the 350ml can is shake then hard pour to bring out that smooth Nitro foam. There's also a 10L keg for hand-pump service, plus a shrimp-and-celery pairing and even a song recommendation for the night.
MugiI can already picture it... an unwind-at-night beer is exactly my weakness after work.
Hop BroSame here. For Hansharo Beer to make a collab this calm and plush, yeah, I want a glass now.
Hansharo Beer Brewing, based in Izunokuni, Shizuoka, has introduced its limited beer "Kyou mo Manten Nitro," a collaboration with Beer Girl. The beer is built on the original "Kyou mo Manten," a Hazy IPA led by passion fruit, and then finished with nitrogen gas to create a softer texture and a finer, creamier head.
Hop bill and construction
The brewery highlights the use of the latest hop variety "Pink" together with its DIPHOP process, aiming for a bright, juicy profile with notes reminiscent of berries and tropical fruit. The product page also lists Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic Cryo, Sabro Cryo, and Simcoe in the hop bill, which adds depth to the fruit-forward character. It is available as a 350 ml Nitro-filled can and also in a 10 L keg format for hand-pump service. As with many Nitro beers, the brewery recommends shaking the can before a forceful pour to bring out the smooth foam.
Tasting notes
Official tasting notes describe a hazy, bright orange appearance. Aromas of passion fruit, grapefruit, and mango lead the nose, while the palate is described as tropical, juicy, and lively. The Nitro finish adds a creamy, smooth mouthfeel that stretches the fruitiness into a gentle finish. The brewery even suggests a food pairing of shrimp and celery stir-fry, along with the song "Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta Nara," reinforcing the beer's calm, end-of-day mood.
Hansharo Beer Brewing is known not only for its core lineup, but also for a wide range of limited releases. This collaboration fits that approach well: a locally brewed Hazy IPA designed less as a loud statement and more as a rounded, satisfying beer for the end of the day.
