Hansharo Beya, a craft brewery based in Izunokuni, Shizuoka, has announced Keyaki Coast IPA, a collaboration beer brewed specifically for the Keyaki Hiroba Beer Festival.

The beer is a West Coast IPA, a style associated with assertive hop character, crisp bitterness, and a clean finish. Unlike a regular year-round offering, Keyaki Coast IPA was created for this particular festival and will be sold as a special event release. The name “Keyaki” refers to Keyaki Hiroba, which appears in the festival’s name.

For festivalgoers, the beer’s appeal lies not only in its style but also in its setting. A beer brewed for a specific event can make the tasting experience feel closely connected to the venue and occasion. Fans of classic, hop-forward IPAs may find it especially appealing, while drinkers more familiar with hazy styles can use it as an opportunity to explore a clearer and more bitterness-driven expression.

Hansharo Beya is operated by Kuraya Narusawa in Izunokuni, Shizuoka. The company has been involved in operating a sake brewery, tea fields, and a teahouse, as well as introducing visitors to the Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace. It established Hansharo Beya as a craft beer producer in 1997. The Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace later became part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution in 2015, giving the brewery a strong connection to the area’s industrial and cultural history.

The original announcement does not list the beer’s alcohol content, IBU, price, production volume, or detailed sales period. Buyers should check official updates from Hansharo Beya and the Keyaki Hiroba Beer Festival for availability and purchasing information.
