Hop BroToday’s topic is a moon-themed limited can. Yo-Ho Brewing is releasing a limited "Yona Yona Ale Space Brothers Collaboration Design Can."
MugiWhat! A Space Brothers collab? That title alone could drag me straight into a convenience store!
Hop BroThe best part is it’s still the real Yona Yona Ale inside. It’s a 350ml can for 301 yen incl. tax, an American pale ale at 5.5% ABV.
MugiWait, what is American pale ale supposed to mean? That suddenly sounds like a science class, not a drink!
Hop BroBasically, it means aromatic and easy to drink. You get bright citrusy hop notes without it being too bitter or too light, so it’s great for craft beer beginners.
MugiOoh, nice! And the article says it has a front-and-back connected design, right? The kind of can you rotate and admire way too long?
Hop BroExactly. The front uses the regular Yona Yona Ale look with a moon motif added, and the back shows a memorable Space Brothers scene that fans will recognize.
MugiAnd it doesn’t stop there. Part of the sales goes to the Serika Fund donation for ALS research, which honestly makes the whole thing feel more meaningful.
Hop BroSales start in mid-July, and it’s basically a Lawson-focused release. It’ll roll out at Lawson, Natural Lawson, and also YONA YONA TOKYO BREWERY.
MugiI’m already imagining one can under the moon. If I spot it at the store, I’m absolutely doing a tiny victory pose in front of the shelf.
Hop BroThat would be fair. This really feels like a cheers to space kind of beer, and if I find one, I’m drinking it immediately.
A limited can built around the moon
Yo-Ho Brewing will roll out a limited-edition "Yona Yona Ale Space Brothers collaboration design can" from mid-July, with nationwide distribution at Lawson and Natural Lawson stores. The 350 ml can is priced at 301 yen in Japan, uses the American pale ale style, and has an alcohol content of 5.5%.
The design is built around a shared symbol: the moon. The front keeps the familiar Yona Yona Ale look while adding the moon motif that runs through both works. The back features a memorable scene from Space Brothers, bringing the two worlds together on a single can.
Based in Saku, Nagano, Yo-Ho Brewing has built its reputation around craft beer that aims to make a clear impression. Its flagship Yona Yona Ale has long been one of the company’s best-known beers, and this collaboration fits the brewery’s habit of pairing beer with a strong story or theme.
A portion of sales from the release will be donated to the Serika Fund, which supports research into the causes and treatment of ALS. Beyond the limited availability, the project also links a beer purchase to a charitable cause. The product will also be available at YONA YONA TOKYO BREWERY.
