MugiWhoa! Just a monkey dad is enough to make me want it! Minoh Beer really knows how to have fun.
Hop BroExactly, but the contents are no joke. It’s a Father’s Day revival of the dark lager they used to brew as a regular beer.
MugiDark lager sounds kind of like black beer, but is it heavy? I automatically picture something 'bitter and strong'!
Hop BroGood question. This one is less about bold roast and more about biscuit-like toastiness, with a subtle sweetness from the barley too. And because it’s a lager fermented and matured slowly at low temperature, it has a really clean finish.
MugiOhhh! So even though it’s dark, it’s not super intense. Smooth bitterness sounds kind of sophisticated, which I like.
Hop BroExactly. The noble hop aroma also comes through, giving it a clean bitterness and a refreshing aftertaste. The specs are 5.0% ABV, IBU 28, and brown in color.
MugiIBU 28 means moderate bitterness, right? Just hearing the number makes it sound like a science experiment!
Hop BroThat’s more or less the idea. The ingredients are just malt and hops, and it’s unfiltered. The best drinking temperature is 5 to 8 degrees Celsius, so it’s meant to be enjoyed not ice-cold, but with the aroma intact.
MugiMinoh Beer has such a classic foundation, but they also do yuzu, local fruits, wild yeast, and all that too, right? It feels serious and playful at the same time, which I love!
Hop BroThat’s exactly what makes Minoh Beer feel like Minoh Beer. This seasonal release will roll out to restaurants and liquor retailers from around May 26, and the official online shop will start on May 27 at 5:00 p.m. It’s the kind of beer you’d want for a Father’s Day gift, or just for your own evening drink.
MugiWow, it really gives off the feeling of a beer to sip slowly. It’s the kind of thing you’d want to taste yourself before giving it as a Father’s Day gift!
Hop BroThat’s really what it comes down to. Tonight, I’m in the mood to open a Papa-Zaru Lager and really take my time with that biscuit-like aroma.
Minoh Beer (Minoh City, Osaka) will release a Father’s Day-themed seasonal beer, 'Papa-Zaru Lager.' It is a recurring product that appears every year around this time, and the package features a father monkey wearing a necktie. Inside, however, is the dark lager that Minoh Beer used to brew as a regular beer.
This beer is characterized by the savory expression of its malt and the clean drinking impression typical of a lager, achieved through slow fermentation and maturation at low temperatures. The description highlights a biscuit-like toastiness, a subtle sweetness of barley, and the layered aroma of noble hops. Its flavor is described as having 'a smooth texture along with a clean bitterness and a refreshing aftertaste.' Rather than flashiness, it is crafted to emphasize a calm, well-balanced drinking experience.
The specs are 5.0% ABV, IBU 28, and brown in color. The ideal drinking temperature is 5 to 8 degrees Celsius, and it is unfiltered. The ingredients are only malt and hops. While preserving the drinkability of a lager, it is designed to also deliver the depth associated with a dark beer.
Minoh Beer is a local brewery born in Minoh, and in addition to classic styles, it also makes beers using yuzu and nearby fruits, as well as beers brewed with wild yeast and sake rice koji.

Sales begin sequentially at around May 26 for restaurants and liquor retailers, and the official online shop will start selling it from 5:00 p.m. on May 27. It will also be available as an easy choice for Father’s Day gifts. This is a release worth paying attention to as a gentle dark lager that pairs easily with everyday meals.
