Hop BroToday I want to talk about Akita’s new release, the debut of Shiroboshi Ale. Sales start on Saturday, September 27, 2025, and it’s drawing a lot of attention.
MugiWait! Is that the basketball one? Just hearing Happinets official beer gets me excited!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a beer announced by Akita Akr Beer, styled as a White Ale, and it’s a light, easy-drinking brew at 4.5% alcohol.
MugiWhat is that?! What’s a White Ale? Does that mean it’s white? There’s no milk in it, right?!
Hop BroNo milk in it! It’s the kind that gets its natural haze from wheat, and while it uses hops and peaches from Akita Prefecture, the design puts citrus and spice in the spotlight. The peach aroma is kept restrained, so it’s easy to drink.
MugiOhhh! And if it’s meant for watching games, then the carbonation is a little stronger so you can drink it straight down!
Hop BroThat’s right. It starts with draft pours at Beer Bar Akr and the Brewery Shop, early bottled release in early October, expanded availability at retailers from October 17, and then draft service at home game venues from October 18 onward. It’s a phased sales schedule.
MugiWait, the article says Restaurant Platz in the spotlight, but is that the place making it? I’m a little confused!
Hop BroGood catch. The brewing is done by Akita Akr Beer, and Platz is more like the beer pub in Akita City’s Omachi area that’s in the middle of the buzz. Before you go, checking the latest availability is a must.
MugiGot it! It’s the answer for both game days and everyday toasts, and now I want a pint right away! Hop bro, come with me!
