T0KI Brewery Releases Mano v3.1 β and Code
T0KI Brewery in Sado, Niigata, has announced two new beers: Mano v3.1 β, a Japanese Sake Lager made with sake as a subtle accent, and Code, a West Coast IPA featuring four expressive hop varieties.
Hop BroToki Brewery in Sado has released two wildly different beers at once: “Mano v3.1 β” and “Code.”
MugiWhat? A beer with sake and an IPA together? That’s an enormous flavor gap!
Hop BroFirst, Mano v3.1 β is a Japanese Sake Lager. It builds on pilsner, wheat pale, and sour beer, with sake as a hidden touch.
MugiHidden sake? Do we get tiny cups with the beer? My imagination is lost!
Hop BroPut the tiny cups away for now! It does not become sake; it aims for a dry, refined finish with a layer of Japanese nuance.
MugiNice! It is 7.0% ABV, yet designed with a dry, satisfying body. That sounds great with Japanese food.
Hop BroExactly! The brewery suggests serving it in a wine glass with Japanese dishes. NovaLager yeast is a hardworking fermentation helper for that clean profile.
MugiEven the yeast has a cool name! So is Code an IPA hop reunion?
Hop BroYep. Code is a 6.0% West Coast IPA, built with HBC682, Galaxy, Vic Secret, and Citra LUPOMAX: four hops in harmony.
MugiLUPOMAX sounds like a finishing move! What is that intimidating hop name?
Hop BroHa! It is a hop product made to showcase aromatic compounds. Code aims for bright, juicy fruit aromas like stone fruit, mango, and pineapple.
MugiMano in a wine glass with food, Code with tropical-hop aromas… I want to visit Toki Brewery and drink them at that moment!
T0KI Brewery in Sado City, Niigata, has announced the release of two new beers: “Mano v3.1 β” and “Code.” The pair takes distinctly different approaches, combining Japanese sake culture with lager brewing in one beer and showcasing hop-driven American craft beer character in the other.
