Izumo Brewing Releases a Myth-Themed Three-Beer Set Nationwide
Izumo Brewing Co. in Izumo, Shimane, announced a limited-edition three-beer set in its "Mythology Series," timed to Kamiari-zuki, the month when the gods are said to gather. In 2025, the set will be available for nationwide shipping through the official BASE online shop, expanding purchase opportunities for fans who cannot visit in person. It is a seasonal product that layers Izumo mythology with local ingredients, very much in keeping with the brewery's style.
Hop BroToday’s topic is this! Izumo Brewing Co. is going to release a limited "Mythology Series" three-beer set nationwide to coincide with Kamiari-zuki.
MugiWhat! You can buy the Izumo brewery's stuff nationwide!? I always thought you had to go there in person!
Hop BroExactly. In 2025, it’ll be available for nationwide shipping through the official BASE online shop. It was announced on the official blog on November 5, 2025.
MugiWow, the name "Mythology Series" already sounds powerful! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroAs a style, it’s designed as a seasonal craft ale three-beer set themed around mythology, and the feature is that it uses Izumo's natural ingredients as adjuncts.
MugiAdjuncts!? What’s that, did class suddenly turn into science?
Hop BroIt means ingredients added besides malt and hops. In the past they’ve used rice, green bamboo, sea salt from seaweed ash, cedar, and even sake lees, so they’re expressing the mythology theme through flavor.
MugiWhat! So it’s not just the label that’s mythological, the contents are mythology too! A lineup themed around Kushinadahime, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, and Yamata no Orochi sounds like it would be amazing to compare side by side!
Hop BroAnd this brewery is especially good at pushing limited flavors through small-batch brewing. They have shops near Izumo Station and in front of Izumo Taisha, and they’ve been connecting tourism with craft beer experiences.
MugiBeing able to enjoy the story and the liquid together sounds amazing... I’m starting to want to have a "Kamiari-zuki toast" with the Mythology Series tonight!
Izumo Brewing Co. announced the rollout of its "Mythology Series" three-beer set on its official blog on November 5, 2025. The article explains that the project is timed to Kamiari-zuki, the season when the gods are said to gather, and that this year's release can be ordered nationwide through the official BASE online shop.
Designing a Beer You Can "Drink"
The series is characterized by its combination of Izumo's natural ingredients and the world of mythology. In previous introductions to the series, three labels themed around figures and beings from Izumo mythology, such as Kushinadahime, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, and Yamata no Orochi, were released, each using regionally rooted ingredients such as rice, green bamboo, sea salt from seaweed ash, cedar, and sake lees. Rather than being just a limited label, the appeal of the project lies in how even the ingredient design is grounded in mythological context.
Brewery Background
The company is a microbrewery based in Izumo, Shimane Prefecture, with the slogan, "Beer that makes the world say 'OH!' from Izumo." Making use of small-batch brewing, it has continuously taken on limited flavors and experiments with different adjuncts. In addition to a stand near Izumo City Station, it also operates a shop in the area near Izumo Taisha Shrine, connecting a sightseeing route with a local craft beer experience.
This new nationwide shipping option can be seen as a move that opens up the limited Kamiari-zuki experience, long enjoyed mainly on-site, to people outside the region. For beer fans interested in Izumo mythology, the set should offer a chance to enjoy the story and the liquid at the same time.
