And Beer announces a new beer release from its Katsunuma brewery on Instagram
And Beer announced the release of a new beer on Instagram. Although the post offered limited details, the brewery continues to regularly release seasonal house-brewed beers centered on its Katsunuma brewery in Yamanashi and its base in Koenji.
Hop BroAnd Beer put out a new release announcement on Instagram. The brand and style are still a mystery, but these kinds of “more to come” posts are exciting, right?
MugiWhat! It’s already getting people talking even though the name and style are still unrevealed!? That makes me even more curious!
Hop BroThat’s one of And Beer’s strengths. It started as a brewery from Koenji, and now it keeps putting out seasonal beers based around its brewery in Katsunuma, Yamanashi.
MugiKatsunuma is usually seen as wine country, but does beer fit there too? Craft beer in a famous wine region sounds almost too stylish, doesn’t it?
Hop BroIt does fit, actually. In 2025, brewing was consolidated at the new factory in Ozate, Katsunuma Town, where they’re refining their house craft with local ingredients and a strong sense of seasonality.
MugiBut wait, what does “put on tap several times a month” mean? Is the beer being streamed like cable TV?
Hop BroCute way to put it. It means the taproom keeps getting new beers from fresh barrels and tanks, so every visit brings a different pour. That’s the strength of being able to drink beer with a different face every time.
MugiThat’s awesome! And you can also enjoy it at the directly operated Olla shop in Asagaya, right? Beer and food pairings are basically irresistible!
Hop BroExactly. And Beer is also known for its wood-barrel-aged ROUND TRIP series. Because it’s matured in barrels passed on from wineries, it develops that depth that comes from time.
MugiWhoa, a barrel already has that much romance! And if this new release might be a beer that feels like Katsunuma, I won’t be able to resist drinking it!
Hop BroRight? There aren’t many details yet, but that’s exactly why the anticipation keeps building. While we wait for more news, I think this is one we’ll want to confirm at the taproom.
MugiYeah, I’m completely in the mood for a drink today! Let’s go check the new beer’s true identity with a frothy pint!
And Beer announced on Instagram, "New beer released!!!..." While the post text did not reveal the brand or style details, it conveys that the brewery is continuing to introduce new brews.
And Beer is a microbrewery founded in 2017 in Koenji, Tokyo, and it currently operates a brewery in Katsunuma, Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture. According to its official website, in 2025 it consolidated its brewing operations at a new factory in Ozate, Katsunuma Town, and has been developing house-made craft beer that emphasizes seasonality and ingredients from a region known for wine.
One of the company's defining traits is the close connection between its taproom and its brewing operation. The Koenji taproom is said to put new beers on tap several times a month, making each visit a chance to encounter a different expression of beer. Including its directly operated Asagaya shop, olla, the company has expanded places where people can enjoy beer and food pairings.
And Beer is also known for its wood-barrel-aged "ROUND TRIP" series. By using wooden barrels passed down from wineries, the brewery brings out the depth and complexity that emerge over time, reinforcing a strong sense of affinity with Katsunuma as a place. This new release is also worth watching as a beer that reflects that approach.
