Y.Market Brewing to Release New Honey-Scented "Bee With You" on March 19
Y.Market Brewing in Aichi and Nagoya will release its new Honey Wheat Ale, "Bee With You," on March 19, 2026. It is a beer that balances honey-like nuance with the soft drinkability derived from wheat, making it easy to pair with meals.
Hop BroA new Bee With You release is coming from Y.Market Brewing in Nagoya, and it drops on March 19, 2026.
MugiWhat! The name is too cute! A honey-scented beer sounds like it could end up like a sweet juice, though?
Hop BroThat’s where they’re smart about it. The style is Honey Wheat Ale, with US Citra and Nelson Sauvin, an IBU of 4.17, and an ABV of 6.5%.
MugiWhat is that! IBU 4.17 sounds like a test score, but what happens when it’s low?
Hop BroIBU is the bitterness index, and 4.17 is pretty mild. So this is the kind of beer that emphasizes aroma and texture.
MugiOhhh! And Bee is the bee, like Be with you, so they even worked in a name pun. That’s amazing!
Hop BroApparently they visited a meadery before development to refine how to use honey, and instead of pushing sweetness forward, they made it a honey that adds depth. That’s tasteful.
MugiI want to know what it looks like too! A lightly hazy yellow gold with a fuller body sounds like it really drinks well!
Hop BroThe wheat and yeast add phenolic spice, with clove-like and mandarin-like notes, plus layered herbs and citrus, making it a long-finish beer.
Hop BroSince it’s designed to go with food and conversation, I’m already in the mood to raise a glass right now on release night.
MugiThat settles it! I’m definitely going out to drink it on March 19. Let’s toast with Bee With You!
Y.Market Brewing (Aichi) unveiled its new beer "Bee With You" on its official website and announced a March 19, 2026 release. True to the brewery's approach of continuing to make craft beer in Nagoya, the beer is characterized by a design that aims for a balance between drinkability and individuality.
The style of this release is Honey Wheat Ale. The beer category is wheat, the hops used are US Citra / Nelson Sauvin, and its specs are IBU 4.17 and ABV 6.5%. From the numbers alone, it is clear that the beer is geared toward suppressing bitterness while letting aroma and mouthfeel do the talking.
The tasting notes mention a lightly hazy yellow gold color, a fuller body, phenolic aromas produced by the wheat and yeast, and a spiciness created by layered herbal and citrus aromas. In addition, there is a citrus character reminiscent of clove and mandarin orange at the center, with a long finish. Rather than putting honey at the forefront, the beer uses it as an element that adds depth.
As for the development background, the starting point was the idea of wanting to brew a beer with honey. It is said that visiting a meadery just before recipe design provided the push to express the appeal of honey through beer. The product name is a play on "Be with you" and the bee "Bee." It also carries the intention of being enjoyed together with food and conversation.
For people who want both substantial drinking satisfaction and lightness, or those who want to explore a new expression built on the approachable character of a wheat ale, this is one to check out on release day.
