Amaterasu Brewery in Fujisawa, Kanagawa announced a one-week summer special on Instagram. The lineup features two tap-only sour beers built around pineapple, guava, and homemade lemonade.
Hop BroAmaterasu Brewery in Fujisawa just rolled out a Summer Sour Festival. Two summer-ready sour beers on tap for one week only is a very strong move.
MugiWhat! One week only? My calendar just started panicking!
Hop BroFirst up is Yellow Lailalai, a 4.5% sour w/ Pineapple with pineapple puree and guava puree, built to drink light and easy in the heat.
MugiThat sounds like pineapple and guava in a glass. Is this beer or an instant tropical vacation?
Hop BroThat is the fun part. It keeps the beer character restrained and leans on crisp sourness so it goes down fast on a hot day.
MugiHold on, I sort of get that, but GOSE w/Lemonade sounds like a spell!
Hop BroNot a spell, a gose. It is a salted beer style, and Swing Swing Swing pairs that with house lemonade, sea salt nuance, and soft honey notes.
MugiSalt, lemonade, and honey? That is beach shack energy in one sentence, and 3% ABV sounds dangerously easy to crush!
Hop BroExactly, and easy-drinking at 3% is the point. It matches that Enoshima summer mood they were pushing perfectly.
MugiWow, if Fujisawa has both on tap, I want a side-by-side tasting immediately. My brain is already on summer break!
Hop BroAmaterasu Brewery set up two summer specials, and catching seasonal beers fresh on tap is exactly the move here.
MugiThen it is settled. I want a cold first sip of Yellow Lailalai for the tropical vibe, then Swing Swing Swing for that salty-refreshing finish!
Amaterasu Brewery, based in Fujisawa, Kanagawa, announced a seasonal Instagram post on August 21 introducing a one-week-only promotion called the "Summer Sour Festival." The brewery said it has put two sour-style beers on tap for the hot season.
The beers
Yellow Lailalai
A sour with pineapple at 4.5% ABV. The brewery describes it as a summer-focused beer brewed with pineapple puree and guava puree, aiming for a bright aroma and a clean, refreshing sour finish. It is positioned as an easy-drinking option for hot days.
Swing Swing Swing
A gose with lemonade at 3% ABV. Built on a salted sour base, it uses homemade lemonade and honey to soften the edges while keeping a noticeable saline character. The lower alcohol level also makes it a relaxed summer drink.
The post also mentions the Enoshima area and the way the afternoon breeze can make the heat feel a little softer. For a local brewery in Fujisawa, this is a straightforward seasonal offering built around freshness, acidity, and drinkability.
