Mizonokuchi Brewery Launches Limited Three-Beer Set Featuring NOKUCHI ALE
Mizonokuchi Brewery, based in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, has introduced a limited three-beer set pairing its flagship NOKUCHI ALE with two 4th-anniversary beers, DUSK[19:01] and DAWN[04:59]. The set is priced at 2,280 yen and was assembled in response to strong customer demand.
Hop BroI’ve got my eye on Mizonokuchi Brewery’s 3-beer set today. It bundles NOKUCHI ALE with the 4th anniversary beers DUSK[19:01] and DAWN[04:59], so you can taste them all at once.
MugiWhat, three styles in one go? A flagship and anniversary releases together sounds unfairly fun!
Hop BroAnd it’s a limited bundle release for 2,280 yen. It’s listed on their online store, and apparently they made it because people kept asking for a mixed set.
MugiNice! Flagship plus anniversary beers in one lineup really feels like a snapshot of the brewery right now. That comparison flight energy is strong.
Hop BroFirst up, NOKUCHI ALE is an American Pale Ale with a gentle mouthfeel but a clean finish. It brings bright citrus-like flavor, sits at 5% ABV and 21 IBU, and pours a clear golden color.
MugiHold on, what does IBU 21 mean? You said that way too casually, like it was a beer report-card score.
Hop BroIt’s basically a bitterness indicator. Higher numbers usually mean stronger perceived bitterness, so DUSK[19:01], the American IPA at 8.0% ABV and 74.8 IBU, is built much richer, but still meant to stay drinkable through balance.
MugiOhhh, then DAWN[04:59] being a Session Hazy IPA sounds like the total opposite! Only 3.0% ABV, light to drink, and made with new yeast and hops? That’s like a brewery lab notebook in a can.
Hop BroExactly, and DAWN aims for a sweet fruity impression. Pairing a dusk-themed beer with a dawn-themed one is a nice touch too. It feels very true to a microbrewery that started in spring 2022 and cares about building community through beer.
MugiIt has the comfort of a classic and the thrill of anniversary experiments, so I want a tasting session now. If we open this set, we’re absolutely grinning after the first sip.
Mizonokuchi Brewery, a microbrewery based in Mizonokuchi, Kawasaki, Kanagawa, has presented a limited three-beer assortment set, "NOKUCHI ALE / DUSK[19:01] / DAWN[04:59]," through its online store. The set is priced at 2,280 yen and brings together the brewery's flagship beer with two anniversary releases in one package.
What's included
NOKUCHI ALE
The flagship American Pale Ale is designed with a delicate, gentle entry and a clean finish. It highlights bright citrus notes and a clear golden color. The beer clocks in at 5% ABV and 21 IBU, and uses Centennial, Cascade, and Mosaic CRYO.
DUSK[19:01]
This American IPA was brewed to mark the brewery's 4th anniversary. It is positioned as a richer take on the brewery's regular IPA. At 8.0% ABV and 74.8 IBU, it has a firm presence, but the balance of malt depth and bitterness keeps it approachable. The hop bill includes ADHA1631, Colombus, Chinook, and Centennial.
DAWN[04:59]
The second anniversary beer is a Session Hazy IPA and serves as an experiment in new yeast and hop choices the brewery had not used before. At 3.0% ABV, it stays light and easy to drink, while still carrying a fruity sweetness. Vista, Strata-CGX, and Citara-CRYO are among the hops used.
Founded in spring 2022 after training at a Tokyo brewery, Mizonokuchi Brewery has focused on building a beer-centered community in the Mizonokuchi area. Its stated aim is not just to make good beer, but to create warm, enjoyable moments for people who gather around it. This set reflects that idea well: a core pale ale, a more assertive IPA, and a lighter hazy session beer together give a clear view of the brewery's range and its anniversary milestone.
