Hop BroToday’s topic is Shinkichi Brewery in Takasaki, Gunma releasing a 10th anniversary beer on July 23, and honestly, it’s a pretty big one.
MugiWait, the name is Tariki? That sounds intense! Like, “not my power, your problem” in beer form?
Hop BroThat’s part of the charm. It’s also brewed in 2022, so this is a matured release they intentionally let rest before selling it.
MugiWhoa, hold on, aged beer? What is that? I thought beer was supposed to be crushed fresh and fast!
Hop BroWith dark styles like this, aging softens the edges. Bitterness and alcohol settle down, and the whole thing gets deeper and rounder.
MugiOkay, but you just casually dropped royal stout like I’m supposed to know it. Is this beer wearing a crown or what?
Hop BroBasically, it’s a rich dark beer. Roasty aroma, big body, lots of depth, and this one sits at ABV 8%, so it definitely has presence.
MugiEight percent! So we’re talking serious body here. The kind you sip slowly and suddenly sit up straighter, right?
Hop BroExactly. And it’s a 750ml bottle for 4,000 yen before tax, with only 30 bottles total, and just one per person.
MugiThat’s basically a treasure hunt in Takasaki! People are going to spot it and instantly turn into stealth mode collectors.
Hop BroAnd the fact that it’s storefront only somehow makes it even better. If I get one, I’d want to let it open up slowly and savor it.
MugiThen it’s settled! For the July 23 release, I want to grab a bottle of Tariki and drink the anniversary mood right along with it!
A limited dark beer for a 10th anniversary
Shinkichi Brewery announced on Instagram that it will release a special beer to mark the 10th anniversary of its izakaya, Izakaya Shinkichi. The shop opened in the summer of 2016, and this summer it enters its 11th year. To celebrate the milestone, the brewery will sell Tariki, a royal stout brewed in 2022, starting on July 23.
In the post, the brewery says that in recent years it has focused on making beers that improve with aging. Tariki follows that idea and is positioned as a limited anniversary release. With 8% ABV, it is a substantial stout built for a slower, fuller drinking experience.
The release is tightly restricted. It will be sold in 750 ml bottles for 4,000 yen before tax, with only 30 bottles available and one bottle per person. Sales are limited to Shinkichi Brewery only. For beer fans visiting Takasaki, this is the kind of small-batch, brewery-only release that shows the character of a local brewpub very clearly.
