t0ki brewery releases two Kodo collaboration beers for Earth Celebration 2026
Sado-based t0ki brewery will begin early sales of two collaboration beers, "Live" and "env," on August 21 for Earth Celebration 2026. The beers will be available at the event venue and select stores on Sado Island.
Hop BroBig one today: Toki Brewery's new collab is dropping two beers for Kodo's Earth Celebration 2026, with advance sales starting August 21.
MugiWait, two collab beers at once? And they're selling them at the venue and shops around Sado Island? My travel plans are becoming beer plans.
Hop BroThe lineup is Live v1.0 and env v2.0. Live is a Session IPA at 4.5% ABV and 28 IBU, so it's built to stay bright and easygoing.
MugiHold on, 28 IBU sounds like a robot serial number. Am I drinking this or taking an exam?
Hop BroIt's just a bitterness gauge. Around 28 means approachable, and with Columbus, Mosaic, and Idaho 7-family hops, they're aiming for juicy stone-fruit and grapefruit vibes.
MugiOhhh, and they even reworked the base malt setup so the hop aroma shows up more? That is sneaky in the best possible way.
Hop BroThen there's env v2.0, a gose with ume and shiso at 4.0% ABV and 13 IBU. It's an upgraded version of last year's env, with more plum aroma and a firmer salty edge.
MugiBe honest, ume-and-shiso gose sounds like a spell from a kitchen wizard. What even is gose?
Hop BroBasically it's a tart-and-salty style. Here they use plum from Kodo Village plus Sado-grown shiso and salt, and the shiso even gives it a faint reddish tint.
MugiAnd Live plus env turning into Live environment is such a nerdy flex. Festival beer with a software joke? I'm sold.
Hop BroExactly, it's an Earth Celebration tie-in that connects the event to local ingredients in a very Toki Brewery way. I'd absolutely want this fresh at the venue.
MugiNow I need a Sado Island toast. I'll start with env, you grab Live, and then we swap because obviously both are getting opened.
Release overview
Sado-based t0ki brewery in Niigata has announced two collaboration beers for Kodo's Earth Celebration 2026. The lineup includes "Live v1.0," a Session IPA, and "env v2.0," a gose brewed with plum and shiso. Both beers will be available from August 21 in early sales at the Earth Celebration venue and at participating stores on Sado Island.
Live v1.0
"Live v1.0" is a Session IPA at 4.5% ABV and 28 IBU. Brewed with Columbus, Cryo Idaho 7, Idaho 7, Mosaic, and CIP076, it is designed to deliver juicy, refreshing aromatics reminiscent of stone fruit and grapefruit. The base malt was also changed from last year to bring the hop aroma forward more clearly.
env v2.0
"env v2.0" is a Gose w/Ume, Shiso at 4.0% ABV and 13 IBU. Using Tetnanger, the beer is a refreshed version of last year's well-received "env." This year's recipe emphasizes plum aroma and a firmer saline edge, with shiso added for a faint reddish hue. Part of the plum comes from Kodo Village, and the shiso and salt are both sourced from Sado.
Naming
The two beers are connected through the phrase "Live environment," a playful reference to "production" or "live" conditions in computing. It is a fitting concept for a release tied to an event, while also reflecting t0ki brewery's Sado-rooted, seasonal brewing style.
