RIO BREWING & CO.

The beer brewing project launched by our representative, Ryohei Sugawara, in Brussels, Belgium, has started in Gotanda, Tokyo, with the establishment of the brewery and restaurant 'RIO BREWING & CO. Tokyo Brewery.' We aim to create a restaurant brewery rooted in Gotanda, using brewing experience from Belgium and yeast introduced by friends who are brewers in Belgium, as well as hops from around the world. The beer is fermented in storage tanks cooled to 1°C at the brewery, then directly kegged and served in a stress-free, pristine condition. At RIO BREWING & CO. Tokyo Brewery, we will brew and serve Belgian-style beers.

To celebrate the New Year, we brewed a special beer with two types of dry hopping using RIO's Saison beer. In addition to fruity yeast aromas, two hop flavors reminiscent of citrus fruits and meadows spread across the palate.

A collaboration beer between Celis Brewery, which created Hoegaarden White, and Rio Brewing Co. This hazy IPA is brewed with malt, wheat, and oats, and infused with a large amount of aromatic hops. Cactus fruit and grapefruit juice, along with aromatic hops and yuzu from Tokushima, are added at different stages of fermentation and aging. The hazy color is enhanced with the red hues of grapefruit and cactus fruit, resulting in a drinkable, fruity IPA with a punchy alcohol presence!

To celebrate the anniversary of Bel Oeuf Toyosu and Bel Oeuf Tokyo Arts Theater, Rio Brewing's first triple was brewed at Rio Brewing Co. Tokyo Brewery. The initial gravity (sugar content before fermentation) was increased, and honey MIEL was added for fermentation with two types of Belgian yeast, followed by dry hopping during maturation.

The initial gravity (sugar content before fermentation) was increased, and honey MIEL was added for fermentation with two types of Belgian yeast, followed by dry hopping during maturation.

A winter limited brew, this fruit beer uses Belgian white yeast that evokes fruity aromas and acidity reminiscent of citrus fruits and peaches. It features a refreshing acidity derived from pink grapefruit, combined with the fruity aroma from the Belgian yeast and a spiciness from coriander, making it a recommended aperitif.

[Pierre Celis 5.5%] The last white beer challenged by the god of white beer, Pierre Celis, following Hoegaarden White and Celis White. Compared to Celis White, its spicy and full-bodied flavor surpasses that of any other white beer. This beer uses yeast from the Saint Bernardus brewery, making it a true collaboration between Mr. Celis and this brewery.

[ Rio Brewing & Co. 6%] This beer, with an alcohol content of 5%, is crafted without spices to express the beauty of Japanese delicacy, similar to beers commonly consumed in Japan. It is made with wheat malt and dry hopping, designed as a product for Japanese people to pair with meals. As the name 'Hatsujin' suggests, it is a dish meant to be enjoyed as the very first beer with your meal.

[Huyghe Brewery 5%] A beautifully cloudy white beer brewed by Huyghe Brewery, known for Delirium. It features a sweetness reminiscent of bananas and is perfect for refreshing drinking, in contrast to Delirium. Now that it is getting warmer, it is the perfect time to enjoy! It is also great for comparing white beers.

[Janderan Brewery 6.5%] A testament to friendship brewed in collaboration with Janderan Brewery. A white beer that maximizes the aroma of hops without using any spices.

[Huyghe Brewery 8.5%] This beer, meaning 'hallucinations caused by alcohol addiction', has a high alcohol content but is so easy to drink that you might see pink elephants, dragons, and crocodiles appearing before you. Compared to draft beer, it has a strong body, making it great for tasting comparisons.

[Huyghe Brewery 9%] Brewed by Huyghe Brewery to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution. Compared to Delirium Tremens, it has a reddish hue and body that evokes the taste of blood and guillotine. Despite the surreal brand name, the flavor is authentic. With that flavor, let's hope it doesn't lead to anything drastic, as the name Guillotine suggests.

[Van Steenberge Brewery 10.5%] Compared to Pilate 9%, it has a slightly reddish hue and a sweet aroma reminiscent of pears. Especially in the large bottle, the sweetness and alcohol sensation feel integrated like honey. This beer has been loved at Bel Oub since its importation.

[St. Bernardus Brewery 8%] There exists a beer made at a monastery in West Flanders, Westvleteren, which is often called the best in the world, and this brewery was established to carry on that recipe. This Tripel, which began brewing there, has an orange color with a floral, fruity flavor, and a hint of bitterness that captivates people.

[Huyghe Brewery 9%] Ostend, known for its Belgian specialty 'small shrimp', faces the North Sea. The nearby town of Idesbald is named after 'Saint Idesbald', who served as the abbot in this area in the 9th century. It features a sweetness reminiscent of pine and a slight acidity.

[Bosteels Brewery 8%] The recipe using barley, wheat, and oats was discovered at the Carmel Monastery and recreates a traditional recipe that was used over 300 years ago. The sweet flavors and aromas reminiscent of pine and pear blend together in a special glass. The taste from the large bottle is also excellent.

[Lulu Brewery 8.4%] A small brewery run by three people. They received yeast from the Orval Monastery, located about 20 km away, and incorporate labor-intensive brewing methods such as direct fire mashing and opening the top of the fermentation tank to create a unique flavor. Currently, the most famous Belgian beer critic, Tim Webb, includes this beer in his top 10 beers alongside Taras Boulba and Ixelles Bitter. The coexistence of bitterness and sweetness is superb.

[Kazoo Brewery 9%] The label features the Turnhout Bell Cherry, said to be the oldest town in Belgium. This is the newest beer from Kazoo Brewery, and it is truly a triple at 9%. It uses four types of hops, and the aroma strongly evokes passion fruit.

[De Ranke Brewery 8.5%] This is the first beer they brewed seriously, which started as a hobby. Using high-quality hops from Poperinge, it is finished with dry hopping, where hops are added during fermentation, resulting in a rich aroma and flavor that feels like enjoying the hop flowers themselves. The infusion of fresh hops also brings a hint of astringency due to the tannins. We invite you to enjoy the essence of this beer in a large bottle.

[De La Seine Brewery 4.5%] A surreal story from Gogol's novel 'Captain Burba', where a father, a soldier on the Russian side, falls in love with the daughter of the enemy Polish and tries to kill his son who betrays him. A beer brewed with a wish for peace, so that such stories do not happen in Belgium, where the federal system of Flanders and Wallonia continues. Although it has a lower alcohol content (4.5%) than Japanese beer, it maximizes the aroma of hop flowers and bitterness.

[De La Seine Brewery 6%] The place where Mr. Bernardo first started this brewery is said to be along the Zene River, where natural fermentation yeast resides, in a region where lambic brewers gather. In this area, it is colloquially referred to as the Jine River. It has an orange-like hue, a mellow bitterness from the aroma hops, and a faint sweetness that can be felt within. This is the representative beer of this brewery and also the first beer that was announced.

[Contreras Brewery Alc. 6.5%] A brewery that has been operating quietly for about 200 years near Ghent. A beer that emphasizes the flavor of hops through dry hopping. The aroma, bitterness, and sweetness of the hops are in exquisite balance!

[Rio Brewing & Co. 6.5%] Using a special brewing method that involves soaking the skin of yuzu from Kochi Prefecture in a large amount of dry hopping for fermentation and aging, this beer expresses the aroma of yuzu lightly while utilizing two different types of Belgian yeast, in line with the concept of Hatsujin but distinct from it.

[De Ranke Brewery 6.5%] A strong bitter blonde beer created by two weekend brewers who started as a hobby, as the name suggests. Brewed using fresh Hallertau hops from Watou and Poperinge to the fullest extent. Even the most discerning Belgian beer critic, Tim Webb, rated it with five stars, the only blonde beer to receive such a rating. The flavor changes due to bottle conditioning, and there is a noticeable difference in taste between the large and small bottles. Be sure to try it in the large bottle to experience its full flavor.

[Lulu Brewery 7%] A beer first brewed by the young brewer Mr. Gregory. Located in the Luxembourg province of Belgium, adjacent to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and about 20 km from Orval Abbey. Early on, it incorporated Orval yeast and used Amarillo hops. This beer has a honey-like aroma and offers a remarkable taste that starts with a honey sweetness and gradually reveals bitterness. A masterpiece from Belgium's Luxembourg province.

[Belgobier Brewery 6.5%] The name Luppo comes from the Latin word for hop, 'Lupulus', and it was given this name because it is brewed using various different hops.

[Bosteels Brewery 8%] Mr. Kwak, who ran a brewery and an inn, noticed that the passengers of the carriages stopping by the inn were unable to free their hands to drink while riding, so he devised this glass to allow them to drink while on the move. It is said that he distributed his beer to everyone. It has a deep reddish-brown color and is a beer with a long-lasting finish of roasted sweetness.

[St. Bernardus Brewery 8%] The St. Bernardus Brewery is located just a 10-minute drive from the border with France. Among Pater, Perior, and Abt, it is the most balanced dark brown ale. It has a sweetness reminiscent of hazelnuts and bananas, with a spicy and long-lasting finish that lingers in the nose.

[Saint Bernardus Brewery 10%] Known to beer enthusiasts and critics as one of the best beers in the world. Brewing began in 1946 with a recipe given by the 'Saint Sixtus Abbey', which brews the beer known as 'Westvleteren Abt', said to be the best beer in the world. It has an aroma reminiscent of ginjo sake, a rich body, and a spicy, long finish that convinces you of its premium quality. Perfect as the last drink. This beer's essence is found in the large bottle.

[Huyghe Brewery 8.5%] Brewed in 1999 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Delirium Tremens, this beer, whose name means 'alcohol addiction of the night', is perfect for drinking late at night. The roasted malt aroma, sweetness reminiscent of orange, pineapple, and tropical fruits, along with a subtle acidity, is wonderful.

[Van Steenberge Brewery 10.5%] The bell tower group of Belgium is recognized as a World Heritage site, and Gouden Draak has been towering over the bell tower of the ancient city of Ghent in East Flanders, Belgium, since the year 1111, overlooking Ghent. This beer has a momentarily soft mouthfeel, but its rich body and brandy-like flavor balance are outstanding, rivaling any other beer.

[Lulu Brewery 6.5%] Originally started with the intention of brewing only Lulu Blonde, this brewery has evolved to create a rich brown ale using Orval yeast, aiming for a deeper flavor. Incorporating techniques unique to small breweries, such as opening the top of the fermentation tank, it has developed a taste that is unlike any other. The moment it touches your lips, you can sense the roasted malt's toastiness and a floral aroma, which smoothly passes down your throat along with a hint of bitterness.

[De Ranke Brewery Alc.9%] Noir means 'black' in French, and Dottigny is the town where De Ranke Brewery is located. Dottigny is part of the French-speaking Walloon region of Hainaut, and the Dutch-speaking people from the north wanted to brew a beer rooted in that town, leading to the creation of this beer. This is the first dark beer they brewed, emphasizing fresh hop flowers. It is a product where the floral aroma and the roasted malt scent blend exquisitely.

[De La Seine Brewery/Rio Brewing & Co. 4.5%] After three years of planning, the world's first Belgian Chocolate Stout brewed in Belgium. Co-brewed with brewer Bernardo. Available only at the renowned establishments 'Mouden Lambic' in Japan and Brussels. Uses chocolate malt instead of chocolate, resulting in a rich malt flavor with a refreshing bitterness from three hop additions. A beer that serves as a bridge between Belgian culture and Japan.

[Shire Brewery Alc. 8%] The beer with the most volume from the Shire Brewery, which has been in operation since 1850 for six generations. It has a woody aroma reminiscent of hazelnuts, which may differ from traditional Scotch ales in that regard. A full-bodied beer with a wonderful balance of bitterness that comes later. It pairs well with meat dishes, blue cheese, and nuts.

[Verhaege Brewery 5.4%] The label features a cow pulling this tool used for plowing fields. It uses a brewing method passed down in West Flanders, aged in oak barrels for about a year and a half. This results in a well-balanced red beer with a sweet and sour flavor reminiscent of grapes.

[Rodenbach Brewery 5%] A Flanders red aged in oak barrels in the town of Roeselare, West Flanders. A typical red beer blended with young and matured beers.

[Rodenbach Brewery 6%] A Flanders Red aged for over 20 months in large oak barrels. It evokes large grapes and grape skins, allowing you to experience both tannins and acidity simultaneously.

[De Ranke Brewery 7%] A blend of beer using lambic from the Girardin Brewery and yeast that was used before being acquired from the Rodenbach Brewery, proposing a new style of lambic that has never been seen before by De Ranke Brewery. A genuine blended lambic that can be enjoyed even by those who are not fond of the intense sourness of lambic. This creates De Ranke Creek by soaking cherries for more than six months.

[De Lanke Brewery 7%] Based on Girardin Brewery's lambic and Flanders red beer, real cherries are soaked for more than six months. This is an authentic fruit lambic that showcases the strong acidity of the lambic and the natural tartness of the cherries. It is a product that makes one think about the future of lambic.

[Lulu Brewery 5.2%] Estival means summer. What is needed for a beer to be enjoyed in the summer is not just a smooth finish, but also the brewer's passion. This challenge with a low alcohol content achieves the perfect balance of moderate body, sweetness, and bitterness, while simultaneously quenching people's thirst. It is an interesting summer beer brewed without the use of spices, which is a hallmark of his craft.

[Janderlan Brewery 6.5%] A small, small brewery located in the gentle hilly area on the way from Brussels to Liège. The saison beer brewed with dry hopping, where hop flowers are soaked during fermentation, is unique, with a refreshing taste that quenches the thirst and a floral, light aroma that is superb.

[Janderan Brewery 7%] 'Cense' means farm in French. It has a light reddish hue and is a saison beer created after Four Saison. In addition to four ingredients, spices are used, and it is said to be a beer that can be experienced through all five human senses, hence the name Five Sense. The same amount of hops as Four Saison is used, and dry hopping is similarly performed, but a different recipe with a change in the type and blend of hops is utilized.

[De Ranke Brewery 5.5%] Located west of Brussels in the Belgian province of Hainaut. This province is characterized by vast agricultural land, and many Saison beers originated from being brewed for consumption during farming activities. The De Ranke Brewery, located in the town of Dottigny in Hainaut, has also started brewing a new Saison beer. It retains the unique hop flavor of De Ranke Brewery while incorporating the rich body of a Saison beer. It has been sampled during test brewing, and we look forward to seeing how its flavor and color will evolve!

[Hugh Brewing 3.6%] A refreshing encounter of white beer and apple. Perfect for quenching your thirst on a sunny afternoon.

[Hygge Brewery 3.6%] Is raspberry sweet and sour like life?

Lindemans Creek is a fruit lambic brewed by Lindemans Brewery since 1809. Initially, they produced a dry fruit lambic with strong acidity, but in the 1970s, they pioneered the sweet fruit lambic by adding fruit juice to lambic, with Creek being the first of its kind. Since then, they have continued to create various fruit lambics. Lindemans Creek is blended with cherry juice, characterized by its bright red color. It is a beer that matches the sweet aroma of cherries with the acidity of lambic. While it has a strong sweetness, the acidity is also felt simultaneously, providing a robust drinking experience.

[Rindemans Brewery 2.5%] Pecheresse is a pioneering beer that adds peach juice to lambic, influencing many breweries today that brew fruit beers. It is a beer that we highly recommend, especially for those who are not fond of beer.
