Hop BroYellow Beer Works in Fukushima has a new collab beer, 'Ah! Kuma' coming out on June 23 at 2 PM. The name alone already grabs you.
MugiWait, the name 'Ah! Kuma' sounds like someone yelling in the woods! Cute, but also a little alarming.
Hop BroAnd the partners are Beerkichi and yuyaboys. It sounds like a long-awaited reunion collab, which makes this even better.
MugiHold on, milk smoothie sour ale is a lot of words at once. Is this a beer, a dessert, or a blender with a brewing license?
Hop BroThat combo is the point. Sour ale acidity gives it a tart base, then the milk-smoothie side adds creamy, fruit-heavy texture, so it leans into dessert territory.
MugiWhat is that, dessert in a glass? And they called it 'super berry good,' so now I'm picturing berries charging at me.
Hop BroExactly, that 'super berry good' tease makes me expect big berry aroma and a sweet-tart finish right up front.
MugiBut Yellow Beer Works is more than a Fukushima brewery, right? They also farm rice, so the ingredient story feels important.
Hop BroRight, their strength is expressing local ingredients. They use homegrown rice and vegetables plus local Fukushima fruit, so this one could really show a sense of place.
MugiSo the release is June 23 at 2 PM, right? That sounds like notification-on, mission-ready territory.
Hop BroYep, and I want to check the official Instagram first, then pour it into a glass and chase the aroma. Just imagining that sweet-sour berry hit is enough.
MugiIt's settled, I want this now. You handle the beer lecture, and I'll handle the first big 'whoa, that's good' when we open Ah! Kuma.
Yellow Beer Works, based in Fukushima City, will release its collaboration beer "A! Kuma" on June 23 at 2:00 p.m. The beer is a milk smoothie sour ale, and the brewery describes it on Instagram as a berry-packed release.
The collaboration brings together @beerkichi2019 and @yuyaboys. In the post, Yellow Beer Works says this is a long-awaited collaboration with both partners, making it clear that the beer is a reunion project as well as a new release. While the announcement stays brief, the name and style suggest a dessert-like sour beer with a strong fruit character.
Yellow Beer Works is a brewery run alongside rice farming in Fukushima City. On its official website, the brewery says it uses some homegrown rice, vegetables, and local fruit as ingredients, and sends its beers out from Ōsaso in Fukushima. That background gives this release added context: the brewery often works with seasonal and locally rooted ingredients, so this collaboration is likely to reflect that same approach.
The release is set for June 23 at 2:00 p.m. Further details can be checked on Yellow Beer Works' official Instagram.
