Hop BroI’ve got a good one today: Nara Brewing just announced the first shipment stores for its 8th anniversary Hazy IPA, CAMOUFLAGE.
MugiWait, the name CAMOUFLAGE? Is the beer hiding from me now? Because I absolutely would lose that can.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. CAMOUFLAGE is built on the original first-batch recipe, then polished up for Nara Brewing’s eighth anniversary.
MugiOkay, but Hazy IPA sounds like a science quiz. What does it actually taste like?
Hop BroBasically, hazy means cloudy. Yeast and proteins give it that soft, misty look, and the heavy hop use makes it juicy while the finish stays light.
MugiWhat, so it’s a juicy-but-light IPA? That sounds way too easy to crush in summer.
Hop BroExactly. They rebuilt the first recipe, so you get strong hop character and easy drinkability in a very Nara Brewing kind of way.
MugiSo how do I get it? Are those initial shipment shops already starting to receive it?
Hop BroAs of July 18, shipments to retailers nationwide have started, from Iwate all the way to Fukuoka. Store arrival dates and stock will vary, so checking first matters.
MugiNice, so it’s not only shops in Nara. If my local store misses it, my disappointment is going to be extremely well-carbonated.
MugiThen I’m setting an alarm for July 24 at noon. If I miss it in stores, I’m going straight for the online shop!
Hop BroThat’s the move. With that juicy yet light finish, CAMOUFLAGE sounds like the kind of beer we’d empty before the glass even warms up.
Nara Brewing Co., the craft brewery based in Nara City, has shared the first shipment destinations for CAMOUFLAGE, a Hazy IPA created to mark its 8th anniversary.
According to the brewery, the beer is based on the recipe used for its first brew, then refined into a more polished IPA. The style is built around a generous hop charge, giving it a juicy profile while keeping the finish light. It is positioned as a beer that suits the summer season well.
As of July 18, the first shipment is being distributed to liquor retailers across Japan. Nara Brewing notes that delivery timing and availability may differ by shop, so customers should check directly with each retailer before visiting. The initial stock list includes stores in regions from Iwate to Fukuoka, along with accounts in Tokyo, Kansai, and Nara Prefecture.
The brewery also says that sales at its online store will begin at noon on Friday, July 24. That gives drinkers two access points: early release through retail shops, and a later online launch for those who want to order directly.
For a brewery that has built its identity in Nara through steady, detail-oriented brewing, CAMOUFLAGE is a timely release. It keeps the hop character front and center while aiming for a finish that remains easy to drink, making it a fitting anniversary beer for the middle of summer.
