Totopia Brewery (Nagakute City, Aichi Prefecture) has released a new beer, "Freestyle Fes 2026 - Tropical Fusion -." The style is Hoppy Lager, and the alcohol content is 5.0%. It uses Tropical Fusion and Southern Cross hops, and the official shop describes it as "highly crushable, with a clear appearance and a light body."

The core of the flavor is tropical fruit character and dank aroma. While keeping the clean crispness typical of a lager, it is designed to layer in fruitiness and aromatic depth, achieving both drinkability and character. By putting hop-driven character front and center while avoiding heaviness, it is also appealing as a hoppy lager that is easy to keep drinking in everyday settings.

Totopia Brewery is a small brewery founded in 2022 in Nagakute City, and it specializes in hop-forward beers as well as expressions that incorporate fresh fruit and botanicals. The brand as a whole is built around respect for the local area and proposing new beer experiences, and that stance is reflected in this release as well. Rather than relying on flashiness alone, it gives the beer a strong outline within an easy-drinking frame, which feels distinctly like Totopia Brewery.
