Hop BroA fresh keg just hit Susukino Ale STAND in Sapporo: Kuriyama Craft's 'Natsumatsuri. 2026.' It's pouring at COCONO SUSUKINO as a summer-ready pick.
MugiWhat! Natsumatsuri. 2026 already sounds like festival music in a glass. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThe style is Session IPA. You get that bright hop aroma, but the body stays light and the finish is crisp.
MugiWait, what does session even mean? Why does this beer sound like it's joining a band?
Hop BroBasically, it's an easygoing IPA. The alcohol feel and palate fatigue stay lower, so it works even on a hot day.
MugiOhhh, so if I want big hop aroma without a heavy punch, this is exactly my lane.
Hop BroExactly. The clean bitterness makes it great as a first glass, and it also holds up nicely with food.
MugiThat rules! A stop for this during a city walk and summer heat might just surrender on the spot.
Hop BroAnd it's limited release only, so waiting is risky. Talking about it already has me wanting a pint.
MugiSame here, I want one now! You too, right, Hop Bro? Susukino cheers, locked in.
Located on the basement floor of COCONO SUSUKINO at Minami 4-jo Nishi 4-chome in Sapporo, Susukinoyell STAND is a beer pub focused on craft beer from Hokkaido. Its newest addition is Kuriyama Craft “Natsumatsuri.2026,” which the shop’s product page describes as a Session IPA suited to the summer season.
The beer’s appeal is straightforward: it keeps the aromatic hop character associated with IPA, while dialing back the weight so it drinks more easily. The official description highlights a fresh aroma, a crisp finish, and a light profile that works well in hot weather. For drinkers looking for an IPA that stays lively without becoming tiring, this is an approachable option.
Poured into a glass, the beer is expected to show a bright aromatic lift followed by a firm but balanced bitterness. That makes it a natural fit for a first pint, or for pairing with food over a longer stay. In a venue like Susukinoyell STAND, where craft beer is part of the daily rhythm, it also reads as a practical summer choice for anyone moving through Susukino and wanting something refreshing but still beer-forward.
Kuriyama Craft “Natsumatsuri.2026” is currently on sale in limited quantities. If you are looking for a summer Session IPA in Sapporo, this is one to note at Susukinoyell STAND.
