Hop BroToday's star is this one! Grandline Brewing in Yokosuka, Kanagawa, has rebooted the legendary hazy "Super Welcome."
MugiWhat! Just the word legendary makes me want to drink it! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Hazy Double IPA with an ABV of 8.0%. Using Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops, it really brings out tropical aroma and fruitiness.
MugiWhoa! Hazy and double sounds strong, but isn't it too bitter?
Hop BroGood question. "Hazy" leans toward cloudy and juicy, while "Double IPA" means higher alcohol and richer body. This one keeps the bitterness gentle and reworks the balance of sweetness and aroma to make it easier to drink. That's the key point.
MugiOhhh, so it's not just heavy and intense!
Hop BroExactly. Oats and wheat give it a smooth texture, and lactose adds a soft sweetness. In technical terms, it's all about enhancing the mouthfeel.
MugiMouthfeel!? Suddenly it's a science class! So it means it feels smooth and creamy in the mouth?
Hop BroThat's right, perfect score! And it was released on March 3, 2026, in 15L kegs (stainless steel kegs and one-way kegs) and 330ml bottles. On Instagram on March 6, they were also pushing it as "sweet, beautiful, and rich."
MugiThat's a rich amount of information! But that copy is basically a delicious trailer!
Hop BroWhat's hot is that this isn't just a reissue, but part of rebuilding the flagship lineup. GLB, which opened on October 6, 2023, is putting out a beer that brings its roots into its current form.
MugiIt's decided then! Let's toast with Super Welcome tonight! I'll handle the 330ml bottle, so you, Hop Bro, are in charge of pouring!
Grandline Brewing has rebooted "Super Welcome," one of its flagship beers.
In an Instagram post at 13:17 on March 6, 2026, the brewery promoted it with the message, "Sweet, beautiful, and rich. The legendary hazy is back!" The official news announcement lists the release date as March 3, 2026, and says it will be sold in 15L kegs (stainless steel kegs / one-way kegs) and 330ml bottles.
The beer style is Hazy Double IPA, with an ABV of 8.0%. It uses Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops. Built on the smooth texture of oats and wheat, and layered with the gentle sweetness of lactose, the recipe aims for a balance of tropical aroma, fruitiness, and restrained bitterness.
This reboot is positioned not as a one-off revival, but as part of a broader rebuilding of the brand's signature flagship lineup. In response to fan requests, the hop bill and the balance of sweetness and alcohol character were reworked, and improved drinkability is one of its defining traits.
Grandline Brewing is based in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, and opened on October 6, 2023. On its official website, it has championed "a new beer adventure" and presented a brewing style that breaks from convention. As it expands distribution from local Yokosuka to the rest of Japan, this "Super Welcome" release serves as a statement of both the brewery's roots and its current position.
It will be available through KANPAI SHOP as well as at beer bars, restaurants, and liquor retailers nationwide. For hazy fans, whether they know the earlier hype or are trying it for the first time, this looks set to be a beer that measures where GLB stands today.
