Hop BroI came across this: 104 BREWERY has started bottle sales in Toki, Gifu Prefecture. The "No. 9" that won silver at JGBA2026 was announced on Instagram on April 3 as available "from today."
MugiWhat! The silver-winning "No. 9" can be drunk at home!? That sounds like the kind of thing that sells out right after winning!
Hop BroExactly, and it’s also clearly marked as available on the EC site and in limited quantities. With these kinds of releases, the first people to notice win. It’s basically a buzzer-beater race.
MugiIf it’s limited, that means you panic before even buying it...! By the way, Hop, why is it called "No. 9"?
Hop BroBecause 104 BREWERY is the kind of place that really cares about numbers in brewing. They fine-tune everything by the digits: ingredients, amounts, temperature, water quality, and pressure. Even the brand name has a pretty science-minded feel.
MugiWhat, they manage temperature and pressure by numbers!? That’s not just beer, that’s deliciousness born in a lab!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. They’re based in Tsumukicho, Toki City, Gifu Prefecture, and they’ve even installed an all-electric facility powered by solar generation. There’s also a dining space where you can drink beer fresh from the source, so the whole on-site experience is designed into it.
MugiWow! Being able to drink it fresh on the spot is like the dream of a brewery tour! And the fact that you can also buy it in bottles for home is so thoughtful!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is strong too. It includes 104 Ale and 104 HAZY, Alt, Lemon White, and Coffee Porter, and among them "No. 9" really stands out as the award-winning one.
MugiI see, so it’s one of the award-winning beers. The style isn’t mentioned in the article, but it definitely has that "we'll let the contents do the talking" aura.
Hop BroThe price is said to be a bit high, but it makes sense that they'd still recommend buying early. A freshly awarded beer you can slowly enjoy at home is pretty luxurious.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I want to drink it now! With the excitement of the award and the limited availability, I can practically hear the beer calling!
Hop BroThen tonight, let's raise a glass to this powerhouse from Toki City. The moment you open No. 9, I bet even the "number obsession" will taste delicious.
MugiAgreed! A silver award with limited quantities is special before you even take a sip. Today, I’m going straight for the beer!
