Hansharo Beer Releases Limited "Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Beer" in Collaboration with Ramen Yangu
Hansharo Beer has released a limited beer, "Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Beer," in collaboration with the popular ramen shop Ramen Yangu in Mishima, Shizuoka Prefecture. Inspired by the shop's signature "Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Ramen," it is a low-alcohol, refreshing lemon beer.
Hop BroHere it is, Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Beer from Hansharo Beer and Ramen Yangu. A limited beer tied to ramen already sounds so drinkable just from the name.
MugiWait, a beer that goes with ramen!? And the name comes straight from Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Ramen? Now I'm already hungry!
Hop BroThe style is American Pale Ale with Lemon. They're layering citrus by using hops like Citra and Simcoe, then adding lemon too.
MugiSo many hops! HBC586 and Strata too? That sounds like a code name, but is it basically a treasure chest of hops?
Hop BroExactly, and because they infuse both the lemon flesh and peel in two stages, it isn't just sour - it gets that freshly squeezed brightness too.
MugiWow, that sounds so refreshing! At 4.5% ABV and 12 IBU, it's light and easygoing, so you could keep sipping it with a meal!
Hop BroEven in the tasting notes, the appearance is a cloudy lemon yellow. The aroma has a grapefruit-like citrus quality, and when you drink it, there's even a lemon-tea-like richness.
MugiWait, a lemon beer with lemon-tea vibes too!? So it's not just plain sourness - it actually has body!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. Since it was designed to pair with Ramen Yangu's signature bowl, it's built around food-pairing versatility, whether you drink it on its own or with a meal.
MugiI see! A collaboration between a popular shop in Mishima, Shizuoka, and Hansharo Beer in Izu no Kuni - it really feels like a local limited edition project!
Hop BroAnd it comes in 10L and 15L kegs, plus 330ml bottles, so if you spot it, check it out right away. This is definitely one you want with a beer alongside ramen.
MugiYeah, I want to pair it with lemon ramen tonight and open a beer too! Let's make it the perfect evening with a bright citrus pairing!
Hansharo Beer has released a limited beer, "Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Beer," created in partnership with the popular ramen shop Ramen Yangu in Mishima, Shizuoka Prefecture. The concept is a "refreshing beer that pairs with ramen," inspired by the shop's signature item, "Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Ramen." It has been crafted as a low-alcohol beer designed so the fruity character of lemon can be enjoyed lightly and easily.
This beer is an American Pale Ale with Lemon. It uses Citra, HBC586, Strata, Lemon Drop, and Simcoe hops, with lemon added as an adjunct. In addition, by infusing the beer in two stages with lemon flesh and peel, it brings out citrus aroma, a pleasant tartness, and a fresh character reminiscent of freshly squeezed fruit. Alcohol content is 4.5%, and IBU is 12. It will be available in 10L and 15L kegs, as well as 330ml bottles.
Tasting notes describe the appearance as a "cloudy lemon yellow," with an aroma of bright yellow citrus reminiscent of lemon and grapefruit. The flavor opens with lemon-derived fruitiness and acidity, followed by a richness that evokes lemon tea. It was also designed with Ramen Yangu's "Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Ramen" in mind, so it looks well suited as a beer to enjoy with food.
Hansharo Beer was founded in 1997 in Nirayama, Izu no Kuni City. Drawing on ideas rooted in the local area, the brewery continues to expand the ways people enjoy craft beer. This collaboration is also noteworthy as a limited local project shaped by a neighborhood restaurant and a brewery each bringing its own character to the table.
