Niigata-based Gangi Brewing announced the collaboration beer "SREEP" to mark the third anniversary of Pizzer Citraba in Arai Yakushi-mae, Tokyo. An English Pale Ale brewed with domestic lemon and Ceylon tea leaves, it will be available in 15L kegs and 330ml bottles.
Hop BroBreaking news: Gangi Brewing is dropping "SREEP" as a 3rd-anniversary collab with Pizzer Citraba in Arai Yakushi-mae!
MugiWhoa! The name is cute, but the collab sounds serious! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s an English Pale Ale with domestic lemon and Ceylon tea leaves. The theme is a recipe inspired by lemon tea.
MugiWhat!? Tea and beer actually work together?
Hop BroThat’s the clever part: ABV 4.5%, IBU 18, EBC 17. The bitterness is gentle, the color isn’t too heavy, and it’s balanced so you don’t tire of drinking it.
MugiWait, are IBU and EBC going to be on the test?
Hop BroBasically, IBU is the bitterness meter, and EBC is the color-depth meter! It even has a trick where the tea aroma opens up as the temperature rises.
MugiOh wow! Cold brings out lemon, and a little warmth brings out tea. It’s like a two-stage transformation in the glass!
Hop BroThe malts are Golden Promise, Munich, Crystal150, and Brown Malt, and the hops are Kent Golding. They’re layering in bread- and nut-like aromas with gentle citrus to make it a food-friendly beer for pizza.
MugiSo it comes in both 15L kegs and 330ml bottles, right? That basically guarantees, both at home and in restaurants, "Pizza please" and "SREEP please"!
Hop BroIt’s also great that a Niigata brewery is celebrating an anniversary in Tokyo. This is definitely one you’d want to drink together and follow the temperature changes all the way through!
MugiDecided! First glass, drink it down fast. Second glass, take your time with the aroma. I want SREEP right now!
Gangi Brewing announced the release of its limited new beer "SREEP" in a post dated March 8, 2026 at 15:26. The beer is positioned as a collaboration project brewed to celebrate the third anniversary of the Tokyo pizzeria Pizzer Citraba in Arai Yakushi-mae.
Beer Design
The style is English Pale Ale (with Ceylon tea leaves and lemon). Its specs are ABV 4.5% / IBU 18 / EBC 17, suggesting a beer designed to be easy to keep drinking. The post describes it as a "recipe inspired by lemon tea," with the base malt character intentionally kept light. Another highlight is a design that brings out tea-like nuances as the beer warms.
The ingredients include Golden Promise, Lighthouse Munich, Crystal150, Brown Malt, and Kent Golding hops. As adjuncts, domestic lemon and Ceylon tea leaves are combined to build layers of bread- and nut-like aroma, gentle citrus character, and malt richness.
Serving Format and Enjoyment
It will be sold in 15L kegs and 330ml bottles. The comments emphasize both drinkability on its own and compatibility as a food-pairing beer, making it a pint clearly intended to go with meals centered on pizza.
This release was brewed by Niigata-based Gangi Brewing to coincide with the anniversary of a restaurant in the Tokyo area. As a cross-regional collaboration, it is a release that also captures where craft beer stands right now.
