Mannchin Shoten / MANGOSTEEN, a standing-drink liquor shop in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, featured "SUPER SUPER DRY," a new release from MANGOSTEEN BREWING LAB in Hokuto, Yamanashi. This post presents it as the second collaboration with Sasazuka Bowl, and the style is LAGER. With ABV 4.5% and IBU 14, the numbers alone already convey how light it is to drink.

This beer is designed around a rice lager base with a small amount of rice added. The post explains that this makes the body lighter than a 100% malt beer, results in a very dry and clean finish, and leaves a subtle citrus note and graininess in the aftertaste. It is positioned as an approachable option even for drinkers who feel fatigued by the heavy flavors of hazy IPAs and double IPAs.

Mannchin Shoten is a standing-drink style shop that combines a liquor store, bar, deli, lounge, and general goods store, and it carries a wide range of MANGOSTEEN craft beer, mezcal, and natural wine. Because it offers such a broad selection of drinks to enjoy on-site, a dry lager like this should pair well with food and become an easy everyday choice.

The post also notes that there will be no keg sales, only canned products. It is useful information for anyone who wants to follow MANGOSTEEN's new lager, whether for in-store enjoyment or through online channels.
