MAHOWBREW, the Naha-based Okinawan brewery in Tsuboya, has listed V.I.T.R.I.Ø.L VII on its official shop page on July 1. The seventh beer in its IPA series is a DDH IPA built around Stalljen Kveik, with a fruity fermentation profile and layered hop character.
Hop BroToday's new release is V.I.T.R.I.Ø.L VII from Okinawa's MAHOWBREW. It's the seventh entry in their IPA series out of Tsuboya, Naha, and the name already sounds like a spell.
MugiWait, that spell-like name is an IPA? And it's already on volume seven? That is dangerously collectible.
Hop BroAnd not just any IPA, it's a DDH IPA. ABV 7.5%, IBU 58, built to push aroma forward so hop fans will lock in immediately.
MugiHold on, that's too many acronyms! DDH, IBU... why is my beer suddenly giving me homework?
Hop BroDDH means double dry hopping. They add hops in two stages after fermentation, so instead of just bitterness you get a big rush of peachy, mango-like aroma.
MugiOhhh! Then what in the world is Stalljen Kveik? Please tell me that's not a boss battle.
Hop BroThat's the yeast, and it's a Norwegian farmhouse strain. It comes from a farm in Hornindal, and warm fermentation can throw off mango, pineapple, and orange character.
MugiNo way! So the yeast is the tropical fruit specialist now? And then they pile on Motueka Cryo, Nelson Sauvin, and Tango too? That's an all-star lineup.
Hop BroExactly, that's MAHOWBREW. With two-stage dry hopping plus whirlpool additions, they stack citrus and tropical notes, then finish dry and sharp with an FG of 1.006.
MugiFG 1.006 still sounds like spaceship math, but does it basically mean easy, crisp drinking? Because that sounds perfect in the heat.
Hop BroThat's basically it. It hit their official shop on July 1 as COMING SOON, and honestly I want a glass as soon as it drops because it feels very MAHOWBREW.
MugiI'm done for, I want this right now. The second it launches, we're checking for peachy aroma and mango vibes with a proper toast.

About the Brewery
MAHOWBREW operates from Tsuboya, a district closely associated with Okinawa's traditional pottery culture. The brewery has positioned itself as one that explores a wide range of styles rather than relying on a fixed core lineup, with an emphasis on quality and expression. V.I.T.R.I.Ø.L VII fits that approach: a hop-forward IPA shaped by a distinctive Kveik yeast character and a clearly defined, dry finish.
