VERTERE Releases IPA Pack and Sour Pack Featuring Eight Beers
Okutama-based brewery and beer café VERTERE has released two new mixed packs: the IPA Pack, featuring four IPA styles, and the Sour Pack, featuring four sour beers. The lineup offers drinkers a chance to compare a broad range of hop profiles and ingredients.
Hop BroVERTERE, the beer café from Okutama, released its IPA Pack and Sour Pack at noon on September 4. Each has four beers, making for a seriously fun tasting session.
MugiWhat? I can try four different IPAs all at once? My taste buds may get lost before I find a favorite!
Hop BroThe IPA Pack includes Rhoeas, a West Coast IPA; Magnolia, a DIPA; Osmunda, a Hazy IPA; and Iris, a Cold IPA. It is perfect for comparing IPA personalities.
MugiWhat are all those styles? There are too many kinds of IPA! What is a DIPA—an IPA for two people?
Hop BroNot for two people—close, though! DIPA means Double IPA: more hop aroma, bitterness, and body. Think of it as a hop-powered upgrade.
MugiWow! Comparing Rhoeas's crispness, Osmunda's softness, and Magnolia's intensity sounds like falling straight into the hop rabbit hole!
Hop BroThe Sour Pack is adventurous too: Liponesco, a Black Currant Sour; Nox, a Sour IPA; Pieris, a minty Lime Sour Saison; and Beta III, a Beets Sour Saison. It is an acidic curveball collection.
MugiBeets in beer?! Hearing that it uses beets from Ome makes me want to drink it with a bright-red-juice expression!
Hop BroExactly. Beta III uses those beets, while Liponesco uses pomegranate juice. The acidity works with the fruit and vegetables, so it is more than simply sour: it is a sour led by ingredients.
MugiVERTERE has taprooms in Okutama, Eifuku, Tachikawa, Yokohama, and Daikanyama, right? IPA for a hop shower today, sour refreshment tomorrow—I want to taste both packs!
VERTERE, the brewery and beer café based in Okutama, Tokyo, has released two new mixed packs. The IPA Pack brings together four IPA styles, while the Sour Pack features four sour beers.
The IPA Pack includes Rhoeas, a West Coast IPA; Magnolia, a DIPA; Osmunda, a Hazy IPA; and Iris, a Cold IPA. The selection covers a wide range of IPA expressions, from crisp bitterness and a clean finish to fuller hop intensity and a softer, more aromatic profile. Magnolia, a Double IPA, is positioned as the most substantial option in the set, with a stronger presence of hop aroma, bitterness, and body.
The Sour Pack includes Liponesco, a Black Currant Sour; Nox, a Sour IPA; Pieris, a Lime Sour Saison with mint; and Beta III, a Beets Sour Saison. Liponesco uses pomegranate juice, while Beta III incorporates beets grown in Ome, giving the pack a strong focus on fruit, vegetables, and other distinctive ingredients.
Based in Okutama, VERTERE is known for brewing beers across a broad range of styles and for exploring varied ingredients. In addition to its Okutama taproom, the brewery operates taprooms in Eifuku, Tachikawa, Yokohama, and Daikanyama.
Released on September 4 at noon, the two packs offer an accessible way to compare VERTERE’s approach to both hop-forward IPAs and tart, ingredient-driven sour beers. Drinking the beers side by side should make the differences in aroma, acidity, bitterness, and finish especially clear.
