Hop BroToday's topic is this! Inadaze Brewing in Ina City, Nagano Prefecture announced on January 9, 2026 that it had expanded the lineup of hometown tax return gifts.
MugiWait! Does that mean they released a new beer?!
Hop BroThis time it's not a standalone new release. It's news that more of Inadaze's own beer products can now be bought as return gifts. In a sense, the main focus is less on individual beer names and more on return-gift beer set type items.
MugiWhat? So by "expanded lineup," does that basically mean I have more options to choose from?
Hop BroExactly! And the donation portals increased to six sites too: Furunavi, Furusato Choice, Rakuten, Saison Hometown Tax Donation, Mifuru, and JRE MALL. That's what you'd call optimization of the purchase flow.
MugiPurchase flow!? That suddenly sounds like a marketing meeting! Speak plain Japanese, manager!
Hop BroIn short, it means it's now easier to apply through the site you already use. Since you can choose based on points and payment methods, the path to beer gets shorter.
MugiOhhh! So what about the styles? Can I go for IPA and all kinds of stuff?
Hop BroAt the time of the article, the key point was not a specific new beer name, but that the range of eligible Inadaze craft beers as return gifts had expanded. The highlight is that there are now more ways to access beer from a regional brewery. The flow is also exciting: founded in 2018, brewing started in 2019, canned products launched in 2020, and the taproom was renewed in July 2025.
MugiIf there are more entry points, then the plan is: drink it through the return gift first, then make a field trip to the taproom! Hop brother, I'm already in the mood to toast Ina City tonight!
Hop BroThat's a great closing line. Then our next pint is settled: let's hold the "Taking on Inadaze Brewing through hometown tax donations" session!

According to its official About page, it was founded in 2018, began in-house brewing in 2019, launched canned products in 2020, and renewed its taproom in July 2025.
