Minoh Beer rereleases Vit Natt IPA with Sweden's BREWSKI
Minoh Beer, based in Minoh City, Osaka, is reviving Vit Natt IPA, a Hazy IPA created with Sweden's BREWSKI. The recipe from the original release returns after four years, with sales starting on July 18.
Hop BroToday's headline is a four-year comeback. Minoh Beer is bringing back the Hazy IPA 'Vit Natt IPA,' its collab with Sweden's BREWSKI, starting July 18.
MugiWait, Minoh Beer x BREWSKI already sounds powerful! If it's coming back, was the first release a hit?
Hop BroExactly. The key is that balanced Minoh style. They keep their classic backbone, but even in an overseas collab it stays easy to keep drinking.
MugiWhoa! But what is a Hazy IPA? Is it just an IPA that's all blurry? Like me before coffee?
Hop BroCrude, but not totally wrong. It uses Citra and Azacca hops, so you get grapefruit and orange on top of mango and passion fruit vibes.
MugiWhat is this, a tropical fruit festival? And it's still an IPA without feeling too heavy? That's cheating.
Hop BroThat's where oats and wheat malt come in. They give the beer a soft texture, so it stays juicy but still light on its feet.
MugiHold on, what is wheat malt? Why does this suddenly sound like a bakery barged into brewing?
Hop BroIt's grain that's been sprouted and prepared for brewing, and it helps create a smooth, silky mouthfeel. Add oats and the aroma blooms while the beer stays easy to drink.
MugiOkay, nice. But what does Vit Natt mean? It sounds like the title of a very stylish Nordic drama.
Hop BroIt means 'white night' in Swedish. The name matches the pale hazy color and that northern summer mood. Online sales start July 18 at 5 p.m., and WAREHOUSE starts July 22.
MugiWow, the name is emotional too. And if bars and bottle shops are pouring it as well, I might run into this beer before I even finish searching.
Hop BroThat's the right attitude. a white-night pint sounds pretty perfect right now. I'll chill the glass, and you camp the online shop.
A return after four years
Minoh Beer, based in Minoh City, Osaka, is bringing back Vit Natt IPA, a Hazy IPA born from a collaboration with Swedish brewery BREWSKI. The beer returns with the recipe that was well received at its first release, making this a revival release after four years.
Minoh Beer is known for brewing with classic styles as its foundation while also producing a wide range of seasonal beers. That approach is reflected here as well: even in a cross-border collaboration, the brewery focuses on balance and drinkability.
The beer uses Citra and Azacca hops. Expect citrus notes reminiscent of grapefruit and orange, layered with tropical aromas such as mango and passion fruit. Oats and wheat malt give the beer a smooth mouthfeel, resulting in a Hazy IPA that balances juiciness with a light, easygoing finish.
"Vit Natt" means "white night" in Swedish. The name evokes the pale, hazy color of the beer and the summer scenery of Northern Europe.
Sales information
- Online shop: From 17:00 on July 18
- WAREHOUSE: From July 22
The beer is also being poured and sold at participating restaurants and liquor shops across Japan. It is a collaborative release that reflects Minoh Beer's sense of balance and its long-running commitment to approachable, everyday beer.
