MugiWatermelon in beer?! And at a special 500-yen price? My summer-festival budget approves!
Hop BroIt uses local Tokumitsu watermelon, one of Ibusuki’s specialties, for a gentle aroma and mellow sweetness.
MugiDoes that make it juice-like? Is it a beginner-friendly beer too?
Hop BroThat’s the charm: it has fruit-beer friendliness, but finishes with a clean, refreshing finish and real beer-like crispness.
MugiWhat exactly is a fruit beer? Do they drop in whole watermelons?
Hop BroNot quite—I don’t think anyone wants a watermelon growing out of their glass! It’s beer brewed with fruit for fruit-driven flavor and aroma.
MugiWhew! So it gets the watermelon sweetness and crisp beer character—the best of both worlds!
Hop BroThe brewery also occupies a former Tokumitsu Elementary School, making it a brewery born from a school. That local story is part of the flavor.
MugiThey brew beer at an old school?! That sounds like grown-up field trip material. I want to see Haiko Kitchen Mugi to Niwa too!
Hop BroIt pairs its beers with Kagoshima ingredients, too. But the ale is available in limited quantities, so check stock and opening hours before visiting.
MugiLet’s sip Ibusuki summer from a glass, then! I’m ready to toast with Watermelon Ale right now!
A Taste of Ibusuki’s Summer
Ibusuki Brewery has announced a special offer for its seasonal Watermelon Ale. Available in limited quantities, the beer will be sold for 500 yen including tax.
The ale is made with Tokko watermelon, a local specialty of Ibusuki. It offers a gentle watermelon aroma and mild sweetness, followed by a clean and refreshing finish. Its approachable fruit-forward character makes it an easy introduction to craft beer, while the crisp finish keeps the beer refreshing rather than overly sweet.
Although summer has passed, the beer is designed to bring back memories of Ibusuki’s warm season with every sip. Because supplies are limited, the offer may end once the available stock has sold out.
A Brewery Rooted in a Former School
Ibusuki Brewery is located in Yamagawa-Okaji-ga-mizu, Ibusuki, Kagoshima, on the site of the former Tokko Elementary School. The historic school building has been renovated into a craft brewery and the restaurant “Mugi to Niwa.”
The brewery creates beers inspired by Ibusuki’s climate and seasonal ingredients, including IPA, lager, and fruit-based seasonal releases. At the adjacent restaurant, visitors can also enjoy local Kagoshima ingredients alongside the brewery’s beers.
Watermelon Ale reflects the brewery’s focus on connecting local produce with approachable craft beer. Visitors are encouraged to check current stock, sales details, and business hours with Ibusuki Brewery before visiting.
