Hop BroKyoto's 52’s Brewing Exploration announced its new “New Grisette” on Instagram at 4:06 p.m. on February 25, 2026!
MugiWhoa! A new release is here! Even the name “Grisette” sounds stylish!
Hop BroAnd the design is solid. The style is Grisette, with ABV 3.5% and IBU 25. It’s low-alcohol, light, but still keeps some hop character in the balance.
MugiWait, what’s IBU? And what kind of beer is a Grisette!?
Hop BroIBU is a measure of bitterness. At 25, it’s in that range of “not too bitter, but not lacking either.” Grisette is a dry, easy-drinking style, in short, the kind you can keep knocking back!
MugiOhhh! So it’s basically the beer version of lightweight running shoes! Sounds like you could go for a run after drinking it!
Hop BroThat comparison is actually pretty accurate. What’s even cooler this time is that it’s the third collaboration, a joint project billed as ONKYO × Kinopo × 52’s Brewing.
MugiWhat! It even includes an audio brand!? One drink has the information density of a live venue!
Hop BroThat Kyoto-born, cross-local-culture approach is what makes 52’s feel like 52’s. The key point this time is that it puts more weight on being genuinely easy to drink rather than flashy.
MugiAnd with the low ABV at 3.5%, it’s got that “sessionability” thing where you don’t stop at just one glass!... I just wanted to say that!
Hop BroOh, congratulations on your vocabulary debut. Then tonight, let’s make it a relaxed, long-enjoyment session with New Grisette!
MugiDeal! I’m already mentally lined up for New Grisette! Let’s go toast!

Grisette is a style often appealing for its light mouthfeel and dry impression.

The post also states that “this batch is lower in alcohol and even easier to drink,” showing that the intended design and drinking occasion are aligned.
Based in Kyoto, 52’s Brewing Exploration continues to communicate across local culture and craft beer through collaborations like this. “New Grisette” is likely to draw attention from drinkers who enjoy craft beer in everyday settings, as a beer focused on real drinkability rather than flashiness.
