Kagiya Brewery releases Tomorrowland, a circular beer made with upcycled used hops
Kagiya Brewery, based in Kawasaki, is offering Tomorrowland, a craft beer brewed with upcycled used hops, through the Newoman food-loss program MeGuru To, Kurasu. The release brings a circular brewing idea to Yokohama as well as Kawasaki.
Hop BroI’ve got a good one today: Kagiya Brewery from Kagiyajozo released the circular beer “Tomorrowland”.
MugiWhat! A circular beer? And that futuristic name is doing a lot of work already!
Hop BroHere’s the key part: they reused spent hops that would normally be tossed after aroma use in brewing.
MugiNo way! I thought hops clocked out after one shift. And what is an upcycled ingredient supposed to mean?
Hop BroIt just means giving used ingredients a new role. In this beer, they’re brought back as “Hop Gururiko” material for another brew.
MugiThat’s adorable and efficient. So this is from a Kawasaki-based brewery in Nakahara Ward, right?
Hop BroExactly, and they entered it in NEWoMan’s food-loss themed project “Meguru to, Kurasu.” which makes the concept even stronger.
MugiOkay, now I’m in. It runs from August 8 to September 9, 2026 too, so there’s time to hunt it down!
Hop BroYou can find it across selected NEWoMan stores in Yokohama, Shinjuku, and Takanawa, plus 2416MARKET in Yokohama. The style isn’t specified in the article, which honestly just makes me want to taste and figure it out.
MugiA beer with flavor and a backstory? That’s unfairly strong. If I can drink my way into the loop, I absolutely want a Tomorrowland.
Kagiya Brewery, based in Nakahara Ward, Kawasaki, makes craft beer with a flexible, experimental mindset. Tomorrowland takes hops that would normally be discarded after brewing and gives them a second life as an upcycled ingredient called Hop Gururiko. The beer is built around a simple idea: materials do not have to end their journey after one use.
Tomorrowland is being presented in MeGuru To, Kurasu., a food-loss-themed program organized and operated by STABLES. The event runs from August 8 to September 9, 2026, across selected stores in NEWoMan Yokohama, Shinjuku, and Takanawa. Kagiya Brewery is participating alongside GORA BREWERY, Yokohama Beer, REVO BREWING, and MIURA brewery, extending a Kawasaki-born project into a wider regional network.
The beer is also on sale at 2416MARKET on the 6th floor of NEWoMan YOKOHAMA, right by Yokohama Station. For drinkers, that makes Tomorrowland easy to connect with both as a beer and as a story about how overlooked ingredients can be turned into something worth tasting again.
Kagiya Brewery has long emphasized making beer with freedom and creativity, through its direct shops and taproom presence in areas such as Musashi-Kosugi, Nakahara, and Jiyugaoka. Tomorrowland carries that approach into sustainability, offering a release that is as much about circularity as it is about flavor.
