Mizonokuchi Brewery Releases a Three-Beer Set Featuring a Collaboration IPA and Anniversary Lager
Mizonokuchi Brewery, based in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, has listed a limited three-beer set online featuring free.la, DAIKANKI, and Cozy Hazy. The lineup brings together a collaboration West Coast IPA, an anniversary hoppy lager, and a hazy pale ale in one package.
Hop BroI’ve got a good one today: Mizonokuchi Brewery put together a three-beer pack with a collab IPA, an anniversary lager, and a hazy, and the lineup is seriously solid.
MugiWhat! A limited three-pack all at once? That’s exactly the kind of thing a craft beer beginner wants!
Hop BroExactly. The set includes free.la, the first-anniversary beer DAIKANKI from Taishu Shokudo Mizonokuchi Brewery, and Cozy Hazy.
MugiThose names already sound powerful! Especially free.la. It somehow sounds like an IPA that has perfect hair.
Hop BroIt really goes for it. free.la is a West Coast IPA using Simcoe, Mosaic CRYO, and Citra CRYO, built around ripe citrus aroma and a clean, sharp bitterness.
MugiHold on, Mosaic CRYO suddenly sounds like science class. What is CRYO? Did the hops train in a freezer?
Hop BroBasically, it’s a super-concentrated hop format that makes it easier to pull out bright aroma without as much green, leafy character. And IBU is the bitterness scale, so 68 means free.la leans firmly bitter.
MugiOhhh! Then what about DAIKANKI? A Hoppy Lager means it’s a lager, but the hops are still showing off? Greedy, I respect it.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. DAIKANKI drinks lighter than their regular lager, and the lemon-lime aroma from Motueka makes it especially good with food.
MugiAnd then Cozy Hazy rounds it out? Nice balance. If it has tropical aroma and stays easy to drink, I want to start bold with the IPA, eat with the lager, and drift off happily with the hazy.
Hop BroThat’s the perfect route. Side by side, you get IPA, food-friendly lager, and aroma-forward hazy, basically a complete tasting flight in one set. No wonder the online page shows it sold out.
MugiNow I’m doomed, because my brain is fully in I need a beer mode. I already want to chase whatever limited release Mizonokuchi Brewery does next!
Kawasaki-based microbrewery Mizonokuchi Brewery has put a limited three-beer bundle on its online store. The set includes free.la, a collaboration beer with Machida's Sake to Sakana Freela; DAIKANKI, the first-anniversary beer for its second venue, Daito Shokudo Mizonokuchi Brewery; and Cozy Hazy. The product page currently shows the set as sold out.
Founded in spring 2022, Mizonokuchi Brewery describes itself as a small brewery built around the idea of creating warm, enjoyable spaces in Mizonokuchi where people gather around beer. This release reflects that approach well: three beers, three styles, and three different ways to enjoy the brewery's range.
The three beers
- free.la
A anniversary beer for Sake to Sakana Freela in Machida, Tokyo. It is a West Coast IPA with 8.5% ABV and 68 IBU. Brewed with Simcoe, Mosaic CRYO, and Citra CRYO, it is described as having ripe citrus aromas and a crisp, lingering bitterness.
- DAIKANKI
The first-anniversary beer for Mizonokuchi Brewery's second location. This Hoppy Lager comes in at 6.5% ABV and 36 IBU. It leans drier and fresher than the brewery's regular lager, with a finish built around Motueka's lemon-and-lime character.
- Cozy Hazy
A Hazy Pale Ale at 5.7% ABV. Using Mosaic, Kohia Nelson, and Mosaic CRYO, it is designed for tropical aromatics and an easygoing drinking experience. The brewery notes its use of a hop blend featuring passionfruit character.
Taken together, the set covers a hop-forward IPA, a food-friendly lager, and a aroma-driven hazy ale. For fans who want to see how Mizonokuchi Brewery balances boldness and drinkability, this is a compact snapshot of what the brewery is doing right now.
