Hop BroA fun summer release just landed from Fukuoka: GohGan Green Tea and Yuzu. It's a limited saison brewed by Fukuoka Craft Brewing for GohGan.
MugiWait, green tea and yuzu in beer? That suddenly sounds like a fancy Japanese dinner. And what even is a saison?
Hop BroThat's the good part. A saison base gives it a light, dry, expressive frame, then Yame green tea and yuzu slide right in.
MugiHold on, an expressive frame? What is that? Why does this beer sound like it's posing for a fashion shoot?
Hop BroBasically, a dry finish means it's crisp instead of sweet, and the core flavors stay tidy so they don't bully the food. Saison is great with meals.
MugiOhhh, so it's a food-friendly beer. Not a solo spotlight hog, more like the reliable co-star next to the dish.
Hop BroExactly. It was designed for GohGan's dining room, built to pair with that restaurant's inventive Asian-French plates, and this is already their second collab.
MugiA second round? So the first pairing worked? The brewery and restaurant are basically finishing each other's sentences now.
Hop BroPretty much. And it's limited, first come first served, so if you wait too long, summer turns into regret.
MugiNooo, that's dangerous. Sold-out energy all over this one. If the yuzu keeps it bright, I could absolutely crush this on a hot night.
Hop BroExactly. It's pitched for long summer nights and special meals, and I like that it stays clean and balanced while tying local ingredients to Fukuoka's dining scene.
MugiThat's it, I want a glass now. Just imagining the elegant tea note and that yuzu aroma already has my stomach and throat booking a table.
On July 20, 2026, Fukuoka Craft Brewing announced the release of "GohGan Green Tea and Yuzu," a collaboration beer created with Fukuoka city restaurant GohGan. The brewery, based in Okagaki-machi, Fukuoka Prefecture, says the beer was brewed as a special saison for the restaurant's dining room.
The beer is built on the elegant, dry, and expressive character of a traditional saison. Into that base, the brewery added green tea grown in Yame, Fukuoka, and finished the beer with the bright aroma of yuzu. The result is described as a clean, balanced beer that highlights local ingredients while remaining suited to food pairing.
This is the second collaboration between Fukuoka Craft Brewing and GohGan, a restaurant known for its innovative Asian-French cuisine. The brewery positions the beer as a match for GohGan's imaginative menu, as well as a drink for long summer evenings and special meals out.
The release is a limited batch and will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis. Since an early sellout is expected, the announcement encourages customers to place orders as soon as possible. For Fukuoka Craft Brewing, the release is another example of its close connection to the region's food culture and local ingredients.
