Unlock Brew Base to Begin Serving New Saison on March 15
Unlock Brew Base in Saitama announced that it will begin serving its new beer, "Cours Saison - Cool Saison -" starting March 15. The style is Saison, the ABV is 6.5%, and it is built around the idea of maximizing the power of fermentation without adding anything unnecessary.
Hop BroThere’s hot news around Kasukabe: Unlock Brew Base is releasing a new Saison.
MugiWhoa! What is the new one? Sounds strong just from the name, is it Cool Saison?
Hop BroOfficially it’s Cours Saison - Cool Saison -. The style is Saison, ABV is 6.5%, and service starts on March 15.
MugiHmm, I keep hearing about Saison, but what does a dry finish actually taste like?
Hop BroIt’s all about a white-pepper-like spice and a sharp edge, with a fermentation-led design that brings out the yeast phenols.
MugiPhen... phenols!? Suddenly it’s a science lab! My brain has turned into a craft beer laboratory!
Hop BroIn other words, it’s subtraction instead of addition, and as the comment says, it maximizes the power of fermentation.
MugiI love that! And you can drink it at the shop too, right? Brewing in the adjacent workshop is pure romance!
Hop BroExactly. And it’s only a 7-minute walk from the east exit of Kasukabe Station, so it’s easy to go on release day.
MugiI heard the taste changes with temperature and glassware, so starting with the brewery’s served condition is the right call!
Hop BroExactly. For the first pour, I want the brewery’s own conditions. Keep an eye on the March 15 service start.
MugiIt’s settled! This weekend, let’s go on a Saison pilgrimage and have a freshly poured pint together!
Saitama's Unlock Brew Base announced a new beer in an Instagram post (March 14, 2026 at 21:01). The release is "Cours Saison - Cool Saison -". According to the post, service begins on Sunday, March 15.
Key points of the new "Cours Saison"
- Style: Saison
- ABV: 6.5%
- Flavor direction: A spicy character reminiscent of white pepper, with a crisp, dry finish
In the comments, it is described as "maximizing the power of fermentation without adding anything unnecessary," suggesting a Saison built around the character of malt and yeast. Rather than flashiness, it is the kind of beer that seems likely to reveal its shape more clearly with each sip.
Unlock Brew Base also introduces itself on its profile as a "craft beer shop" while brewing its original beers in the adjacent workshop. It also clearly states that it is a 7-minute walk from the east exit of Kasukabe Station, making it easy to enjoy a freshly poured pint on site.
Saison is a style whose impression can change depending on temperature and glass choice. The new Cool Saison is one you will probably want to try first in the condition provided by the brewery. Beer fans looking for a weekend tap opening should keep an eye on the March 15 service start.
