A limited spring beer arrives

At the beer pub "Tsuki to Taiyo BREWING Main Store" on Minami 3-jo Higashi in Chuo Ward, Sapporo, EIGHT HOP BEER – Spring Edition has started being served. According to an Instagram post, this beer is the result of a collaboration between GEAR8, Tsuki to Taiyo Brewing, and Atelier Pengu.

What kind of beer is it?

Spring Edition is the second release in a series that designs flavor with an artwork as the starting point. The post explains that, inspired by the work "Jellyfish," it was crafted in a light, fantastical direction. As for the flavor impression, it is described as having a fresh drinkability, gently expanding floral aromas, and hop aromas reminiscent of red fruit, creating a profile that feels bright and springlike.

How to enjoy it at Tsuki to Taiyo BREWING Main Store

This announcement says that canned beer went on sale at Tsuki to Taiyo Brewing Main Store, and draft beer is available at both the main store and the miredo location. As a beer pub in central Sapporo, it is the kind of place where you can stop by after work for just one drink, or use it as a base for comparing different beers.

The shop is one of Sapporo's standard spots for enjoying craft beer casually. Whenever guest beers rotate or limited releases are announced, the character of the shop and the expression of the guest beer overlap, adding one more reason to visit.

The background so far

This series continues from EIGHT HOP BEER – Winter Edition, released in winter, and this Spring Edition is a seasonal release that follows that flow. The post also mentions that the project was originally sparked by the response to EIGHT HAZY IPA.

As a beer where art, design, and craft beer intersect, this is a release worth checking out this spring at Tsuki to Taiyo BREWING Main Store.
