Utsui Brewery Announces Restock of VACAN CRAFT 05 Juicy Ale
Utsui Brewery, based in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi, said its VACAN CRAFT 05 Juicy Ale had been out of stock for some time. Retail deliveries begin on or after Friday the 10th, sales start at Green Farm from the 8th, and the beer will also be sold at the brewery taproom on the 11th.
Hop BroThere’s a good one today from Utsui Brewery. Their sold-out Bakun Craft 05 Juicy Ale is finally coming back.
MugiWhat, that sounds great! And the name already sounds delicious... what does Juicy Ale mean? Is it basically juice?
Hop BroGood question. In simple terms, it usually points to fruit-forward hop character in an ale. Not literal juice, more like a juicy aroma and impression.
MugiOhhh, so it’s juicy in the aroma! That makes me imagine tropical fruit vibes the second you crack it open!
Hop BroExactly. And Utsui Brewery, based in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi, handles everything from hop growing to brewing in the Utsui area, which is pretty compelling.
MugiWait, that suddenly sounds super serious and artisanal! When you say fully integrated production, I kind of want a brewery tour now.
Hop BroBasically, they’re involved from the raw ingredient stage all the way to the finished beer. It gives their brewing a strong local identity that stands out.
MugiYou describe beer like it does deadlifts, but I get it! For people who were waiting, this restock announcement has to be huge, right?
Hop BroExactly. Shipments to retailers start from the 10th, Green Farm starts selling on the 8th, and the brewery taproom plans to sell it on the 11th opening day.
MugiNice, now the buying spots are clear! With local shops and the taproom at the center, it really has that reward for waiting feeling.
Hop BroWhen a beer that’s been out of stock returns, it feels like a tiny festival for craft beer fans. This is definitely one to chase in Shimonoseki.
MugiNow I absolutely want to drink it! I can already picture myself smelling it first, then saying ‘thank you for the restock’ and raising a cheers to the comeback.
