Hakone's GORA BREWERY PUBLIC HOUSE Launches Three New Canned Beers
The brewery restaurant GORA BREWERY PUBLIC HOUSE in Hakone-Yumoto announced a new canned beer lineup on Instagram. The three styles are stout, NZ pilsner, and W IPA, offering a take-home way to enjoy the character of its in-house brewing.
Hop BroGORA BREWERY PUBLIC HOUSE in Hakone-Yumoto has launched a new canned beer lineup. What’s great is that you can take home the character of its in-house brewing just as it is.
MugiWait, canned beer in Hakone!? Take-home cans sound perfect as souvenirs from a trip!
Hop BroThe three new beers are GORA STOUT, HIKA, and GREEN MONSTER. They’re being introduced as a stout, an NZ pilsner, and a W IPA.
MugiWhat? NZ pilsner? How is that different from a regular pilsner?
Hop BroSimply put, it uses New Zealand hops, so it tends to have a more vibrant, fruity aroma. It’s a clean-drinking style with a bit of personality layered in.
MugiOh, I see! HIKA sounds crisp too, like it’d be easy to drink!
Hop BroAnd GORA STOUT is 5.0% ABV, while GREEN MONSTER is 8.0%, so the range makes for a really fun tasting lineup. You can ease into it with the stout and then go harder with the IPA.
MugiWhoa, GREEN MONSTER at 8.0% is pretty strong! But with that name, it already sounds like the hops are running wild!
Hop BroA big part of the appeal is that the place brews with 100% Hakone natural water. On top of that, it has open-kitchen grilled dishes and menu items using local ingredients, so it shines not just as beer on its own but as part of a meal.
MugiAnd if it’s convenient from Hakone-Yumoto Station, you can stop by before or after sightseeing! I already want to drink it with the steam rising around me...!
Hop BroBeing able to have one drink at the shop and another in a can on the way home is part of the breadth of GORA BREWERY. Today, I already feel like opening up a stout and an IPA side by side.
The brewery restaurant GORA BREWERY PUBLIC HOUSE in Hakone-Yumoto announced a new canned beer lineup on Instagram. In the post, the three beers "GORA STOUT," "HIKA," and "GREEN MONSTER" are listed and introduced as a stout, an NZ pilsner, and a W IPA, respectively.
- GORA STOUT: Stout / Alc. 5.0%
- HIKA: NZ Pilsner / Alc. 5.5%
- GREEN MONSTER: W IPA / Alc. 8.0%
Following the GORA BREWERY that began in Gora in 2017, the restaurant opened in 2024 inside HAKONATURE BASE. In addition to brewing with 100% natural Hakone water, its appeal lies in a lineup that combines grill dishes from the open kitchen with menu items that make use of local ingredients. The press release says that, in addition to the original beers available in the shop, bottled and canned craft beers will also be offered, and this new canned lineup is positioned as an effort to broaden that sales channel.
Its location, which is easy to access from Hakone-Yumoto Station, is another strength, making it convenient to stop by before or after sightseeing or outdoor activities. With the addition of cans to take home, alongside a pint enjoyed in the restaurant, there is now an even wider way to experience the flavors of GORA BREWERY.
