Hop BroYokohama’s iconic Abunai Deka turns 40, and Yokohama Brewery is releasing a limited English Dark Mild on October 3.
MugiWhat? A cop movie and beer teaming up? Abunai Deka’s 40th already sounds like a delicious case!
Hop BroIt fits perfectly because the series is set in Yokohama. Eleven local breweries will each brew for one of the eleven historic works.
MugiEleven films, eleven breweries? That is a beer serial I want to binge! Yokohama Brewery gets the theatrical Abunai Deka film?
Hop BroExactly. It looks jet-black, yet its bitterness and roast character are restrained—that’s the charm of an English Dark Mild.
MugiWhat even is that? I picture dark beer as a bitter final boss. Does “mild” mean it is a gentle dark beer?
Hop BroThat’s it. The dark color comes from roasted malt, while the body stays light, with soft caramel-like notes and hints of dried fruit.
MugiOoh! It looks as cool and serious as the detectives, but it is approachable inside—what an absolutely dangerous gap!
Hop BroAt 3.5% ABV, it is made for lingering over after a film. The 330ml bottle costs ¥700 before tax at UMAYA and online.
MugiThen we are heading to Yokohama on October 3! Let’s toast with this one and chase the nine upcoming brewery releases too!
Yokohama Beer Brewery will release “The Movie Abunai Deka Collaboration Beer – English Dark Mild” in limited quantities on October 3, 2026, as part of the 40th anniversary project “ABDK40+” for the long-running Japanese crime series Abunai Deka.
The collaboration connects the series’ home city with Yokohama’s craft beer scene. Eleven local breweries will each create an original beer inspired by one of the franchise’s 11 television, special, and theatrical releases. For the first release, Yokohama Beer will represent the theatrical film Abunai Deka, while Yokohama Bay Brewing will create a beer inspired by the original television series.
Yokohama Beer’s contribution is an English Dark Mild. Despite its deep black color, the beer is designed with gentle bitterness and restrained roast character, alongside notes reminiscent of dried fruit and caramel. With an ABV of 3.5%, it is a low-alcohol beer intended for a relaxed, extended drinking session—an appropriate companion for revisiting the film’s atmosphere.
The beer will be sold in 330ml bottles for ¥700 before tax. It will be available at Yokohama Beer’s UMAYA restaurant and through the brewery’s official online shop. Online orders will be offered only in sets, with ordering scheduled from October 3 through 11:00 on October 13. Shipping is scheduled to begin on October 16. Additional sales locations include Akarenga Depot at Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse, Yokohama Burg 13, and T-Joy Yokohama.
Founded in 1999, Yokohama Beer operates a brewery and the UMAYA restaurant in Yokohama’s Naka Ward. The brewery focuses on creating a “hometown beer” that local residents can enjoy with pride, while also developing beers connected to regional ingredients and the city’s culture.
Nine more breweries are scheduled to release their collaboration beers between November 2026 and May 2027. The series will offer fans a chance to explore Yokohama’s brewing community through beers inspired by the different chapters of the franchise.
