Grand Line Brewing Releases Three-Way Collaboration Golden Stout 'MORE GRIND'
Grand Line Brewing in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, will release a new triple-name beer, 'MORE GRIND,' in collaboration with Gangi Brewing (Niigata) and ONE MORE BEER (Tokyo). With a golden appearance and a stout flavor, this distinctive beer will be sold nationwide from May 23.
Hop BroYokosuka's Grand Line Brewing is teaming up with Gangi Brewing and ONE MORE BEER to release 'MORE GRIND'. Just being a triple-name project already gives it event vibes.
MugiWhoa! Even though it's a three-company collaboration, the name is neatly unified into one! It sounds powerful, and now I'm really curious about the beer!
Hop BroWhat's more, the style is a Golden Stout. It looks golden, but tastes like a stout, which is kind of a delightful bait-and-switch.
MugiWhat?! Stouts are supposed to be dark and heavy, so what do you mean it's golden? It's basically a beer in a costume!
Hop BroThe trick is that it brings out coffee and cacao aromas while keeping the color from getting too dark. So the look is light and bright, but the inside is a proper stout, which makes the contrast really interesting.
MugiOhhh! So with 5.0% alcohol, it has enough body without feeling too heavy? That's a really nice balance!
Hop BroExactly. And the name 'MORE GRIND' even carries the intent of crushing existing hierarchies. They also dropped the "A" from the label, which gives it that vibe of making their own standards. Very stylish.
MugiWhoa, the name itself is bold! If it even has a grind spirit, then it's not just a collaboration, it's got a strong message too!
Hop BroThe fact that it's being unveiled at NIIGATA COFFEE FESTIVAL 2026 is great too. It's in Nagaoka, on May 23 and 24, 2026. Bringing a coffee-like beer to a coffee event feels like they really get it.
MugiThis is making me want to look for it at beer bars across the country! And if it has coffee and chocolate-like aromas, I can probably drink it too. I want to toast right now!
A golden look with the flavor of a stout
Grand Line Brewing, which is based in Yokosuka and proposes new ways to enjoy craft beer, has announced a new collaboration beer, 'MORE GRIND'. This time, the partners are Gangi Brewing (Niigata) and ONE MORE BEER (Tokyo). As a triple-name project by three companies with different personalities, it will be released on May 23, 2026.
The beer style is Golden Stout. Unlike the “black stout” one might imagine from the product name and appearance, it has a vivid, golden shine to its exterior, while the flavor brings out coffee and cacao aromas. With an alcohol content of 5.0%, it is designed to balance lightness with drinkability.
The intention behind the name
The name 'MORE GRIND' combines the idea of a coffee grinder with the meaning of “crushing” rigid industry hierarchies and existing values. The label design also combines the alphabet elements of the three companies, while deliberately leaving out the letter “A,” expressing a stance of creating a new standard with their own hands rather than accepting one decided by someone else.
Gangi Brewing is a brewery that began brewing in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture in August 2023, and it promotes the idea of “drinkability without drinking fatigue.” ONE MORE BEER, meanwhile, is participating as a brand with its own distinctive message. This collaboration is said to be a spontaneous project that started from a personal connection.
Unveiled at a coffee event
The release will be showcased at 'NIIGATA COFFEE FESTIVAL 2026', held on May 23 and 24, 2026. The venue is Aore Nagaoka, the City Hall Plaza in Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture, and in keeping with an event centered on coffee, the beer also incorporates flavors reminiscent of coffee and chocolate.
Grand Line Brewing is a brewery that has been proposing next-generation craft beer experiences from Yokosuka. This 'MORE GRIND' looks set to embody that approach through collaboration. It will be rolled out sequentially at beer bars, dining establishments, and liquor shops nationwide.
