MugiWhoa! That name sounds cute, but this is a serious new release! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a smoothie sour with an ABV of 5.0%. They load it up with mango and layer in pineapple pulp and juice, so it balances thickness and acidity.
MugiWait, what? Is a 'smoothie sour' something you drink, or something you eat?
Hop BroSimply put, it’s a sour ale with a heavy fruit load. It’s thick and juice-like, but the sour ale finish keeps everything crisp at the end.
MugiOh wow, dessert-like but it still finishes clean. That’s almost unfair!
Hop BroAnd this is the second release in Bishu Brewing’s fruit ale series that uses fruit generously. It’s an easy entry point for people who aren’t big on bitterness.
MugiThat hits exactly right for a craft beer beginner like me! A brewery right next to Owari-Ichinomiya Station means we have to stop by!
Hop BroI love that they keep putting out new beers with a strong local focus. This is exactly the kind of bright, springlike acidity I want.
MugiIt’s settled! Let’s go drink this sweet-tart, thick mango-and-pineapple sour right now!
Bishu Brewing, which operates in the Ichinomiya area of Aichi, opened its new beer 'Wool and Ale Fruit Ale Mango' on March 12, 2026. According to the post, the style is smoothie sour, and the alcohol content is 5.0%.
The key feature this time is its use of not only mango but also pineapple pulp and juice. Built on the rich sweetness of mango, it layers in the bright acidity from pineapple and the tartness of sour ale, creating a thick, smooth mouthfeel. The aim is a juicy, dessert-like profile while still keeping the crisp finish that makes it feel like a sour beer.
This label is also positioned as the second entry in the brewery's “fruit ale series that uses fruit generously.” The description notes that it is designed to appeal even to people who do not usually enjoy beer bitterness, making it an approachable gateway beer for craft beer newcomers.
On its Instagram profile, Bishu Brewing describes itself as 'a craft beer brewery next to Owari-Ichinomiya Station.' It is worth noting that this small, locally rooted brewery continues to release new beers from within the community. This release is likely to draw attention not only from fruit sour fans, but also from drinkers looking for a light, bright acidity in early spring.
