Hop BroHere's the news: Miyazaki's BMB Brewery teamed up with Okinawa's @agarihama_brewery for a new release, "Vibesmooth," which drops on March 4, 2026 at 3:00 PM!
MugiWait, that name already sounds festival-ready! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Smoothie Sour. It uses yuzu, shikuwasa, and peach, and it's designed with a low 4.0% ABV.
MugiWhat even is that! A smoothie sour sounds like a beverage that doesn't know what genre it belongs to!
Hop BroGood question! Put simply, it's a beer with intense fruit character and a thick-ish body, but the acidity sharpens it up. It looks heavy, but it actually goes down surprisingly easily.
MugiOhhh! How does the flavor build? Does the peach hit right away?
Hop BroThat's where the design is smart. The aroma starts with shikuwasa, then yuzu comes in on top. The flavor centers on the sharp acidity of yuzu and shikuwasa, with peach smoothing out the finish.
MugiWow, a tropical relay! And at 4.0%, it sounds like something you could kick off from midday!
Hop BroExactly. It was born from a cross-collaboration sparked by a staff member's planned DJ gig in Okinawa, and it's said to capture the atmosphere of both Miyazaki and Okinawa in one glass. It really shows BMB's "from beer to culture" vibe.
MugiI can't take it anymore, my throat just made a reservation before I finished reading! Let's toast with "Vibesmooth" tonight!
BMB Brewery announced its new release, "Vibesmooth," in a post made at 3:44 PM on March 3, 2026. The announcement said, "3/4 Wed. 15:00 Release!!" and identified the style as Smoothie Sour. The adjunct ingredients are yuzu, shikuwasa, and peach, with an ABV of 4.0%.
According to the post, the collaboration with @agarihama_brewery was decided after one of the company staff members had a DJ gig scheduled in Okinawa. The concept is to pack the tropical atmosphere of both Miyazaki and Okinawa into a single glass.
The flavor description says the aroma leads with shikuwasa, followed by layers of yuzu. The taste is built around the sharp acidity of yuzu and shikuwasa, with peach bringing everything together toward the finish. The combination of a lower ABV and fruit-forward ingredients seems aimed at balancing easy drinkability with a rich aromatic profile.
BMB Brewery is based in Miyazaki and began brewing in Jingu, Miyazaki City, in November 2018. In July 2024, it expanded its brewing base to Kiyotake in Miyazaki City, and has continued operating under the slogan "From beer to culture." This latest release appears to be a collaboration with an out-of-prefecture brewery that embodies that concept.
