Sakamichi Brewing introduces six new releases from California's Unsung Brewing
Sakamichi Brewing in Tachikawa, Tokyo introduced six new beers from Unsung Brewing, an independent brewery in Anaheim, California. The lineup spans lager, pilsner, IPA, and sour styles, and includes award-winning beers.
Hop BroTachikawa's Sakamichi Brewing is introducing California's Unsung Brewing all at once, and it's interesting that they lined up six beers ranging from lager to sour.
MugiWait, six kinds? The lineup is so luxurious that I don't even know where to start drinking!
Hop BroThe first one that catches my eye is LUMINO. It's a Mexican Lager at 4.8%, a crisp style made with corn and Pilsner malt, and it even won a bronze at the GABF.
MugiCorn in beer? And the name Pilsner malt sounds like some kind of magic spell!
Hop BroBasically, Pilsner malt is the pale, crisp foundation, and corn helps lighten the mouthfeel. So it's clean and easy to drink, but still has real depth.
MugiI see! Then what about CLAW BURST? A silver medal at the World Beer Cup 2025 already makes it sound strong, so I'm curious!
Hop BroCLAW BURST is a West Coast Pilsner built on 100% Pilsner malt with Nelson Cryo and Mosaic layered in. The hop aroma really comes through, but the Pilsner base gives it a sharp finish.
MugiWait, a Pilsner with that much hop character? West Coast Pilsner feels almost like a cheat code, but in a fun way!
Hop BroThat's what's so current about it. And J.A.R.V.I.S. is a DDH Hazy IPA with Citra, El Dorado, and Rakau, while Metaplex goes all in on Mosaic alone. It's great because you can enjoy both the hazy, cloudy side and the aroma-focused side separately.
MugiI want to finish with DISRUPTO, the fruit sour! That plum and blueberry sweet-tart vibe sounds like the kind of beer you'd immediately want another of.
Hop BroAnd with a popular DDH Hazy DIPA like CARINA in the mix too, this introduction really leaves nothing out. It's packed with the fun of side-by-side tasting, and honestly, this is the kind of lineup that makes you want to drink them all together.
