MugiWhat! A tomato beer? A beer where tomatoes are the star? That's a little hard to picture!
Hop BroExactly. It's a wheat beer made with tomatoes from Mishans Farm & Midori Farm and Seibei Farm on Iwashijima.
MugiWhat is that! When I hear Weizen, it suddenly feels advanced. How is a wheat beer different?
Hop BroWeizen uses a lot of wheat malt, so the mouthfeel is soft, and when you add the tomato's refreshingly tart acidity, it really hits the spot on a hot day.
MugiWow! And it won a silver award at the International Beer Cup 2021, so it's not just a gimmick.

MugiWhat, lemons, mikan, and even IPA? It's packed with the flavors of Onomichi. If you were to compare them, one day wouldn't be enough!
Hop BroWhat's more, it runs for a full month from June 1 to June 30, so you can take your time enjoying the Iwashijima tomato season with food.
MugiJust hearing about it is making my mouth water! I want to toast right now and try it with tomato dishes!
