Hop BroWinter news is here: Nobara Homestead Brewery's online-exclusive six-bottle set, "Awayuki no Asa"! It's a seasonal release available only from December 12 to December 31, 2025.
MugiWhoa! Even the name is dreamy. What's in the six bottles?
Hop BroTwo bottles of CHLOE (Sauvignon Blanc Pomace Saison), two bottles of WILLOW (Rose Pomace Wild Ale), and two bottles of Barbizon (Saison). All 330 ml, and it's positioned as the season's "last set" for the year-end.
MugiWhat? "Pomace" sounds like a spell. And the difference between a saison and a wild ale is making my brain foam over!
Hop BroPomace means grape skins and pulp left after pressing. CHLOE uses Sauvignon Blanc pomace from Sail the Ship Winery in Ueda City, while WILLOW is made with pomace from rosé grapes from Ro_vineyard in Tōmi City. That's why the fruit character and acidity stand out, giving you a wine-like finish even though it's beer.
MugiOhhh! So it's the best of both beer and wine!? Then what's Barbizon's role?
Hop BroBarbizon is the set's structural backbone. It's Nobara's standard saison, brewed with organic malt and ancient wheat from Omishimura in Shinshu, and it's a beer they've been developing since the brewery's founding.
MugiIt feels like a Nagano all-star lineup of farming and fermentation! It'd be great as a gift, and I want to stock up for myself too!
Hop BroShipping is worth checking too: the final shipment of the year is December 18, 2025, and shipping resumes from January 5, 2026. Also, they'll be at MATSUMOTO CHRISTMAS MARKET 2025 at Hanadokei Park on December 14 from 10:00 to 16:00.
MugiA snowy year-end morning with "Awayuki no Asa" sounds perfect... Let's hit buy now and toast with CHLOE together first!
Nobara Homestead Brewery announced the winter online arrival of its assortment set "Awayuki no Asa" on Instagram. In the post, it is positioned as the season's last set, with thanks to 2025, and the lineup is presented as something to accompany snowy mornings and holiday-time moments.
Set contents (330 ml each)
- CHLOE - Sauvignon Blanc Pomace Saison - 2 bottles
- WILLOW - Rose Pomace Wild Ale - 2 bottles
- Barbizon - Saison - 2 bottles
Sales are handled through the online shop, with orders shipped out sequentially. The schedule is as follows.
- Sales period: December 12, 2025 to December 31, 2025
- Final shipment date of the year: December 18, 2025

What stands out in this lineup is its connection to wine producers in Nagano. CHLOE is made using Sauvignon Blanc pomace from Sail the Ship Winery in Ueda City, while WILLOW incorporates pomace from grapes used for rosé at Ro_vineyard in Tōmi City. Both are described as beers built around fruit character and acidity derived from pomace, making this a seasonal proposal in the Nobara style that crosses the boundary between beer and wine.
In addition, the core standard beer Barbizon is a Saison brewed with organic malt and ancient wheat from Shinshu's Omishimura. Introduced as a beer nurtured since the brewery's founding, it serves as the backbone of the set as a whole. This six-bottle set brings Nagano's agriculture and fermentation culture into winter drinking occasions. It is also a release worth checking out as a stocking option or gift choice for the year-end and New Year season.
The post also announced that the brewery will be exhibiting at MATSUMOTO CHRISTMAS MARKET 2025, to be held at Hanadokei Park on December 14, 2025 from 10:00 to 16:00.
