Minoh Beer has unveiled Tea Bitter, a new beer in its “tea bitter” series. The release is based on a classic UK-style bitter and uses high-quality Earl Grey tea leaves, giving the beer gentle malt-driven body, soft bitterness, and a bright bergamot aroma.

According to the brewery’s Instagram post, online sales begin at 5:00 p.m. on June 12. The post also notes that availability at WAREHOUSE should be checked separately, and that the beer is also being tapped and sold through the brewery’s regular retail and restaurant partners.

Minoh Beer is a brewery born in Minoh City, Osaka. On its official website, the brewery says its motto is to “brew beer that brews people,” and that it aims to make everyday local beer rather than something special only for occasional moments. It also emphasizes its commitment to unfiltered, unpasteurized beer made in harmony with the natural environment of Minoh.

Tea Bitter fits neatly into that philosophy. Rather than pushing intensity, it seems designed to layer tea character onto a calm, balanced bitter profile that works well with food. It is a straightforward but thoughtful release, and one that reflects the brewery’s preference for beers suited to everyday drinking at the table.
