Hop BroToday’s new item: Tokyo’s THIS Brewing has teased “Carrot Ale 🥕...!”
MugiWait, Carrot Ale? Does that mean carrot is the star of the beer!?
Hop BroExactly. It was announced in an Instagram post at 17:04 on March 19, 2026, and right now the main primary source info is the title.
MugiI see! So it’s an ale, but the detailed flavor specs are still a secret?
Hop BroThat’s right. With carrots, the key will probably be the adjunct approach.
MugiWhat? The adjunct approach? That suddenly turned into a science class!
Hop BroSimply put, it’s a brewing method that adds ingredients alongside malt and hops to bring out their character, and this one seems aimed at highlighting the aroma and flavor of carrots.
MugiMakes sense! That fits THIS Brewing’s idea of “THIS = the here and now” too!
Hop BroExactly. Based at its brewery and taproom in Yushima, it’s also used ingredients like yuzu and Earl Grey, and it’s really good at balancing experimentation and drinkability.
MugiWhether it’s a limited release or a canned release, I can’t stop imagining pairings for spring meals!
Hop BroLet’s check for updates, and when it’s released, let’s toast first. It’s a beer I want to drink right now!
THIS Brewing’s new Instagram post was titled “Carrot Ale 🥕...”.
The details of the post text are restricted depending on the viewing environment, and at present the primary source information we can confirm consists mainly of the title and posting time, but it suggests a release that puts vegetable-derived character front and center. In the craft beer market, the use of fruit and herbs has become widespread, but a label built around carrots is still rare, making this a highly attention-grabbing theme.
On its official About page, THIS Brewing promotes the idea of “THIS = the here and now,” and takes the stance of changing recipes from time to time to deliver beers that can be enjoyed only in that moment. Its lineup also includes labels that make use of ingredients such as yuzu and Earl Grey, reflecting a brewing style that aims for a balance between experimentation and drinkability.
Based at its brewery and taproom in Yushima, Tokyo, the brewery has continued to propose new releases with a local sense of distance and immediacy. Whether this “Carrot Ale” will be offered only as a limited release or will also be available in cans remains to be seen, but anticipation is rising, including for pairing ideas suited to early spring tables.
