MugiWhoa! That name sounds romantic! What kind of beer is it? Is it on the sweeter side?
Hop BroIt’s a Hazy Pale Ale with an ABV of 5.5%. The key points are its lemon-and-lime-like aroma, juicy tropical-fruit character, and a balance of satisfying body and drinkability.
MugiWhat is that? ABV and drinkability just hit me like a spell!
Hop BroABV means alcohol by volume. 5.5% is neither too heavy nor too light. Drinkability means it goes down smoothly, so it’s easy to enjoy during a meal or on its own.
MugiAh, I get it! So it’s a versatile type that works with dinner or as a single relaxed pint!
Hop BroExactly. It’s also an evolved version of the 2025 "Hoshizaki Yukinoshita," updated to a Hazy style this time. The local love behind the inspiration from Tsukuba City's flower, "Hoshizaki Yukinoshita," is pretty hot too.
MugiTurning a local flower into beer feels like having Mount Tsukuba inside the glass. So emotional...
Hop BroSales begin on March 14 as cans at the Tsukubasanroku Brewery bottle shop and the Beer Cafe in front of Dōhō Park, with tap pours scheduled to roll out at the same locations. This is absolutely a field-trip-worthy release!
MugiDeal! Let’s buy the cans, drink it on tap too, and have a "Hoshizaki" experience with that lemon-lime aroma! I want to toast right now!
