DD4D Brewing to Release Three Azur Lane Collaboration Beers on September 5
DD4D Brewing, based in Matsuyama, Ehime, will launch three Azur Lane collaboration beers from September 5. The release is tied to AZURLANE MUSI9:FES., scheduled for September 5 and 6, along with original goods and event-only perks.
Hop BroI need to talk about these three collab beers. DD4D BREWING from Matsuyama, Ehime is dropping an Azur Lane set on September 5, 2026.
MugiWait, all three at once? And it lines up with AZURLANE MUSI9:FES. on September 5 and 6? That's basically a festival ambush for my wallet!
Hop BroYep, it's the fourth collab round. DD4D started in 2019, and this Azur Lane project has been running since 2023, so they clearly mean business.
MugiBut hang on, Sakura Islands (Owari) is a Wood-Aged Rice Lager? Rice plus wood sounds like my kitchen lost a bet!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It has smoky cherry wood character on top of a clean rice lager, with citrusy and herbal hop notes and a gentle sweet rice finish.
MugiWhoa! Then Royal Navy (Scylla) mentions Nelson Sauvin. Is that a hop, or some admiral with a cape?
Hop BroA very talented admiral, basically. That hop pushes white-wine aromas, then berry, passion fruit, lime, and grapefruit, with a firm West Coast bitterness.
MugiOkay, so Kingdom of Tulipa (De Zeven Provinciën) is the pilsner option for people like me? But Aramis and Lubelski sound like wizard spells.
Hop BroNot spells, just hop names. It's a clean easy drinker with floral and spicy notes, then a biscuit-and-honey finish, so it's probably the friendliest entry point of the three.
MugiAnd they're 350ml cans at 1,000 yen each, right? Plus draft beer, gelato, T-shirts, and more at Sankaku Hiroba in Shinjuku Sumitomo Building? My budget is sweating.
Hop BroIt gets worse, in the best way. There are bonus stickers too: one with draft beer, and three character stickers if you buy six cans, two of each beer. Limited quantities, so no hesitation.
MugiThen it's settled. Let's do a full tasting flight. I'll start with Sakura Islands, you grab Royal Navy, and we'll both end up saying the pilsner makes the lineup complete!
DD4D Brewing, operated by JAPANDEMIC COMPANY, will release three collaboration beers and original goods to coincide with AZURLANE MUSI9:FES. on September 5 and 6, 2026. Founded in 2019 and based in Matsuyama, Ehime, DD4D is a craft brewery that has been working with Azur Lane since 2023. This marks the fourth collaboration between the two.
The lineup
- `Sakura Islands (Owari)`
- Wood-Aged Rice Lager / 5.0% / IBU 25
- Brewed with rice alongside malt, this beer leans into a Japanese-inspired profile. It combines a clean finish with citrus- and herb-like hop aroma, a hint of smoky oak from sakura wood, and a soft sweetness from the rice.
- `Royal Navy (Scylla)`
- West Coast IPA / 6.5% / IBU 35
- Built around Nelson Sauvin, this IPA uses hops generously. The aroma brings white wine and berry notes, followed by passion fruit, lime, and grapefruit flavors, with a firm bitterness underneath.
- `Kingdom of Tulipa (De Zeven Provinciën)`
- Pilsner / 5.0% / IBU 20
- A crisp pilsner featuring Aramis and Lubelski hops. Floral and spicy aromatics lead into a clean drink, with biscuit and honey-like malt notes lingering on the finish.
All three beers come in 350ml cans and are priced at 1,000 yen each, including tax. Sales begin on September 5, 2026. At the event venue, Sankaku Hiroba in Shinjuku Sumitomo Building, DD4D will also offer draft beer, canned beer, gelato, and collaboration goods such as T-shirts, acrylic keychains, and glasses.
There are also purchase bonuses. Draft beer buyers receive a collaboration sticker, while customers who buy all three canned beers in a set of six total cans receive three character stickers. Both offers are limited in quantity and available while supplies last.
