Yellow Beer Works in Fukushima City is releasing 'Super Berry Good! Na A! Kuma!' as a collaboration with BEERKICHI and yuyaboys. The beer is a 4% milk smoothie sour ale built around blueberries and ice cream, with a release notice set for June 23 at 2:00 p.m.
Hop BroToday's story is Yellow Beer Works in Fukushima teaming up with BEERKICHI and yuyaboys on 'Cho Berry Good! Na A! Kuma!'.
MugiWait, what! That name is loud in the best way. 'A! Kuma!' already sounds like a party before the can is open!
Hop BroAnd the style is a Milk Smoothie Sour Ale, a collab brewed with blueberries and ice cream.
MugiWhat is that even! That style name is so long, is this beer or dessert in a glass?
Hop BroBasically both. It pushes fruit forward, then uses milky body to round out the tartness into a sweet-tart build.
MugiWhoa, so you get blueberry zing plus ice-cream softness in one treat-yourself flavor?
Hop BroExactly, and that's very Yellow Beer Works. They're a farmer-run brewery leaning on their own crops and local fruit, so the Fukushima ingredient game is strong.
MugiThat resume is doing too much! And if Instagram called it a long-awaited collab, my hype is already fermenting!
Hop BroIt sits at 4% ABV and easy, so even with all that richness it might drink smoother than you'd expect.
MugiThat's dangerous! It walks in looking like dessert and suddenly the 350ml can is gone before I blink!
Hop BroThe release notice went up at 2 p.m. on June 23, and with BEERKICHI plus yuyaboys, it's the kind of sweet-sour balance I'd need to taste for myself.
MugiI'm done for, I can taste the berries already. This is officially a need-it-now beer for both of us!
Yellow Beer Works, based in Oozaso, Fukushima City, is a brewery run by a rice-farming family and has long incorporated homegrown rice, vegetables, and local fruit into its beers. The newly announced 'Super Berry Good! Na A! Kuma!' is presented as a collaboration with BEERKICHI and yuyaboys, and the brewery described it on Instagram as a long-awaited team-up.
According to the product page, the beer is a Milk smoothie sour ale at 4% ABV. It is brewed with blueberries and ice cream, aiming for a profile that combines bright fruit character with a milky, rounded body. The beer is packaged in 350 ml cans, and the stated best-before date is October 29, 2026.
Yellow Beer Works has built its identity around local ingredients and seasonally changing releases. In that context, this collaboration fits naturally into the brewery's fruit-forward sour beer lineup. The key question for drinkers will be how the brewery balances berry-driven acidity with the dessert-like richness suggested by the ice cream addition.
