MugiWait, a corgi name on a beer!? DRUNK CORGI is already adorable just from the lettering!
Hop BroAnd the name comes from Hiramaki, the person in charge, and his pet corgi Milo. Just hearing it’s inspired by his dog Milo makes me want to cheer it on.
MugiBut wait, that upcycled bread in the article - is that going into the beer!? Is a bakery and a brewery having a huge sports day or what?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: it’s a plan to use stale bread scheduled for disposal from gout gout Yumegaoka, also in Yumegaoka. They’re trying to express the corgi’s “bread-like rear” in the ingredients too by reusing the bread.
MugiWhat, that’s amazing! I love that it’s not just a visual joke - it has a story in the ingredients too!
Hop BroThe style is a light-bodied pale ale inspired by a corgi’s coloring. It’s light, but still brings out the malt flavor nicely, and is designed to be easy to drink both on walks and in the evening.
MugiI used to think pale ale meant it’d be bitter, but it also has an easygoing, gulpable lightness? Then I can drink it too!
Hop BroExactly. And YUMEGAOKA SUNDAY BREWING’s strength is that it can serve up to 10 varieties at once, and I like its stance as a brewery made by everyone in the Yumegaoka community.
MugiThen I want to drink it when it cools down a little in the evening! I’ll be waiting for this one from Yumegaoka, in full corgi mode!
Hop BroIt’s a done deal. As a new beer you’ll want to drink, it’s pretty strong, and once it’s released, it’s the kind of thing that makes you want one glass first - no, two.
Overview of the New Release
YUMEGAOKA SUNDAY BREWING, which brews on the first floor of the commercial complex "Yumegaoka Soratos" in Izumi Ward, Yokohama, teased its new beer "DRUNK CORGI" on Instagram. The post says production will begin in June 2026, and once brewing is complete from late July to early August, sales will begin sequentially in stores and on the online shop.
A Concept Inspired by a Corgi
The name comes from the corgi "Milo," the pet dog of the person in charge, Hiramaki. The post suggests a concept that translates a corgi’s charm directly into beer. One of its features is the use of upcycled bread scheduled for disposal from "gout gout Yumegaoka," also in Yumegaoka. The idea also expresses, through the ingredients, the image of a corgi’s rear end resembling a loaf of bread.
Flavor Profile
The beer style is introduced as a light-bodied pale ale inspired by the corgi’s coloring. The goal is to make it easy to drink even while out for a walk, while still letting you enjoy the malt’s richness in moderation. It is interesting that the concept is designed not only for gulping down in hot weather, but also for relaxed enjoyment in the slightly cooler evening hours.
The label’s "DRUNK CORGI" literally means "a drunk corgi." By overlapping it with the image of a toy-loving pet dog, you can sense the intention to finish it as a beer-lover’s dog-like character.
