Shinobazu Brewery Hitsuji Ice, a microbrewery in Taito Ward, Tokyo, has announced a new beer through its official Instagram account. The post introduces the release as a new product, adding another beer to the brewery’s in-house lineup.

Located near Shinobazu Pond on Nakacho-dori in Ueno 2-chome, the brewery combines a working brewing operation with a restaurant specializing in lamb dishes. Its name reflects the founders’ affection for both Shinobazu Pond and sheep.

The brewery’s regular beers include Hitsuji Ice, an American pale ale brewed with Nelson Sauvin from New Zealand and Mosaic from the United States, as well as Shinobazu YELL ALE!, a hazy IPA with citrus aromas and moderate bitterness. Beer enthusiasts will be watching to see how the new release differs from these established offerings.

The tap lineup normally includes four regular beers along with several other house-brewed selections. Guests can also pair the beers with lamb dishes featuring cuts ranging from familiar favorites to less common parts. The Instagram post does not specify the new beer’s name, style, alcohol content, or start date. Readers should check the brewery’s official Instagram or contact the venue for the latest availability information.
