Sakaduki Brewing to launch tequila-blended Heat Stroke on August 6
Sakaduki Brewing in Tokyo's Adachi Ward shared its August 2 tap lineup and announced a Thursday, August 6 release for Heat Stroke, a new passion-fruit beer brewed with fruit from the Ogasawara Islands and blended with tequila at more than 9% ABV.
Hop BroNorth Senju has a good one coming: Sakazuki Brewing is tapping Heat stroke on August 6.
MugiWait, beer with tequila blended in? That escalated from patio drink to beach party fast!
Hop BroYep, Heat stroke is a passion fruit beer made with Ogasawara-grown passion fruit, and this year's version pushes past 9% ABV.
MugiOver 9% and named Heat stroke? That's reckless in the funniest way. But what does blended mean here?
Hop BroIn this case, it means the beer gets tequila character layered in for more aromatic depth, not just extra booze.
MugiSo it's juicy passion fruit plus tequila edges? That's basically a tropical hazard sign and I want it immediately.
Hop BroWhich is why they're serving 200ml in-house and 300ml in the taproom, a smart serving format for something that strong.
MugiThat's actually considerate. And the food pairing is on Thursday this week, right? That makes it feel like an event.
Hop BroExactly, and the August 2 tap list has fifteen beers: shy girl, Hibi Tantan, Komorebi, Stardust, the whole 15-beer lineup.
MugiFifteen? I'd need a strategy board. And if Jikan Dorobo is almost sold out, my weekend procrastination is over.
Hop BroPlus Sakazuki Lab is running barrel swaps, summer festival week, and IPA plans, so North Senju is basically summer beer central right now.
MugiThen we're going. I need that first sip of the tropics with food on the side before someone else beats us to it.
Sakaduki Brewing, a brewpub in Kitasenju, Adachi Ward, Tokyo, has shared its tap lineup for August 2 and the schedule for this week's releases. The board features 15 beers, including shy girl (Bohemian Pilsner), Hibi-tantan (American Pale Ale), Komorebi (fruit beer), and Stardust (Hazy IPA). Toki-dorobo is also listed as nearly sold out.
The main upcoming release is Heat Stroke, set to open on Thursday, August 6. This 2026 passion-fruit beer uses fruit delivered from the Ogasawara Islands, and this year's version is blended with tequila and pushed above 9% ABV. Sakaduki says the beer will be served in 200 ml pours in the bar, with 300 ml pours in the taproom, reflecting its higher strength. The brewery describes the beer as a dense, tropical, juicy expression of passion fruit with tequila helping sharpen the profile.
Food pairing service will also run that day, and unlike the usual setup, it will be held on Thursday. Sakaduki Brewing has built its name on house-brewed beer and food pairings in the Kitasenju area, with a steady stream of seasonal and limited releases. Its sister spot, Sakaduki Lab, is also lining up August events, so the neighborhood's beer calendar is set to stay busy through the month.
