Yellowbeerworks to pour Juicy pop at Tsukuba Craft Beer Fest 2026
Yellowbeerworks of Fukushima City announced its participation in Tsukuba Craft Beer Fest 2026, set for October 16-18. The brewery will feature Juicy pop, a Hezy IPA described as bringing grapefruit-like citrus notes and a rich mouthfeel.
Hop BroI want to talk about Juicy pop today. Yellow Beer Works from Fukushima is bringing it as a featured beer to Tsukuba Craft Beer Fest 2026 from October 16 to 18.
MugiWait, it's a free entry event right? And it's right by TX Tsukuba Station, so even craft beer beginners can just wander in!
Hop BroYellow Beer Works is a brewery launched in 2020 by Kato Farm, and they actually grow their own barley and hops. That farm-to-glass setup is serious.
MugiWhat even is that! Homegrown hops too? That's not a brewery, that's an agricultural flex with carbonation!
Hop BroAnd the star here is Hezy IPA Juicy pop. It's supposed to have a grapefruit-like citrus punch with a rich, full mouthfeel.
MugiOoh, but what is Hezy IPA? The name sounds less like beer and more like my hair on a humid day!
Hop BroThink of it as a cloudy IPA. Instead of sharp bitterness, it leans into juicy aroma and a softer, smoother drinking feel.
MugiOkay, so grapefruit vibes plus a mellow texture means even I could drink that fast! Also, you just slipped into full brewery brochure mode.
Hop BroThe best part is that it's billed as perfect with meat. The citrus cuts through the fat, and the body stands up to the savory flavor.
MugiAnd you can use a bring-your-own glass too, right? I am one sentence away from packing a picnic sheet and folding chair.
Hop BroThe venue is Tsukuba Center Plaza from October 16 to 18. Sounds like seating is limited, so going prepared is probably the pro move.
MugiI can already picture us toasting with Juicy pop. I really want to try Yellow Beer Works there with a big plate of meat!
Heading to Tsukuba Craft Beer Fest 2026
Yellowbeerworks is a brewery based in Fukushima City, launched in 2020 by Kato Farm, which grows rice on about 50 hectares and also cultivates its own barley and hops. That farm background is part of the brewery’s identity, linking raw ingredients to the finished beer. In the Instagram post, Yellowbeerworks was introduced as one of the breweries taking part in Tsukuba Craft Beer Fest 2026.
The featured beer for the event is "Juicy pop / Hezy IPA." The post describes it as offering grapefruit-like citrus character and a full, rich mouthfeel, with meat listed as the recommended food pairing. The lineup suggests a beer built for flavor intensity rather than light session drinking.
The festival will run from October 16 to 18 at Tsukuba Center Plaza, right by TX Tsukuba Station. Admission is free. Drinks are served with reusable cups bought on site or with visitors’ own mugs, while food is sold separately at vendor booths. Seating is limited, so bringing a picnic sheet, a small table, or a chair is encouraged. For beer fans, it is a convenient city-center festival setting to try Yellowbeerworks alongside other breweries.
