Mizonokuchi Brewery releases DAIKANKI Hoppy Lager 3-pack for second-shop anniversary
Mizonokuchi Brewery, based in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, has released a three-bottle set of DAIKANKI - Hoppy Lager to mark the first anniversary of its second location, Taishushokudo Mizonokuchi Brewery. The beer features bright lemon-lime notes from Motueka and is positioned as a food-friendly summer lager.
Hop BroI’ve got my eye on a first-anniversary set from Mizonokuchi Brewery in Kawasaki. It’s a three-bottle pack of DAIKANKI - Hoppy Lager made to celebrate their second spot, Taishu Shokudo Mizonokuchi Brewery.
MugiWhat! A three-bottle release means I can throw the anniversary party at home, right? Even the name sounds like good vibes!
Hop BroExactly. The style is Hoppy Lager, so you get the crisp drinkability of a lager with bright hop aroma layered on top. It’s built for summer.
MugiWhoa! But hoppy lager sounds like a lager crashed into a hop festival. My brain is setting up food stalls already!
Hop BroBasically it’s a light but fragrant lager. It goes down easy, then the hop aroma sneaks up and says hello.
MugiWhat is that! And the article mentioned Motueka hop extract. Is that a spell? Or some tropical juice?
Hop BroNot a spell. Motueka is a hop variety known for lemon and lime character. They finish this beer with HopKief Motueka, so it goes full citrus mode right at the end.
MugiOhhh! So that’s why they say it’s great with any dish. Fried food, grilled fish, summer snacks, all of it sounds fair game!
Hop BroThat’s it. At 6.5% ABV it still has some punch, but 36 IBU keeps the bitterness in check, and Simcoe plus Centennial give it a food-friendly balance.
Hop BroAnd I like the story here. A local brewery celebrating its second shop with beer makes this feel like a neighborhood toast kind of release.
MugiI love that! Turning a local milestone into a citywide cheers is just too fun. Now I really want one!
Hop BroSame here. Chill down DAIKANKI - Hoppy Lager, put some food on the table, and I’m fully at the pour it now stage.
