Yuluumu Brewing unveils five-beer lineup for Sanomaru Beer Groove 2026
Mito-based Yuluumu Brewing has introduced the beers it will pour at Sanomaru Beer Groove 2026, held from June 26 to 28 at the Ibaraki Prefectural Sanomaru Office Plaza. The lineup spans five styles, including White Ale and Ume Gose.
Hop BroToday's headline is Sannomaru BEER GROOVE 2026. Yuruum Brewing in Mito just revealed five beers for the event running from June 26 to June 28.
MugiWait, a five-beer lineup already sounds dangerously fun! Yuruum Brewing is the brewery inside that sauna-and-dining spot, right?
Hop BroExactly. They're a microbrewery built around beer that relaxes body and mind. They started brewing in March 2024 inside SPA& Gohan Yuruum, and the sauna-plus-craft-beer concept is a big part of their identity.
MugiNo way, a post-sauna pint plan is genius. I'm thirsty already! What are they pouring?
Hop BroFirst up are White Ale and Session IPA. The White Ale is herbal and refreshing, while the Session IPA balances sweetness and bitterness, and both come in at 5% ABV.
MugiHold on, Session IPA sounds like an IPA for a meeting room. What does that even mean?
Hop BroFair question. It basically means easy to drink longer. The alcohol is kept moderate, but you still get the aroma and bitterness, so it's great when you want to sample a few beers at an event.
MugiOhhh! Then what about Hazy IPA? The name alone sounds like a fog machine with muscles.
Hop BroPretty much. It delivers tropical aroma and body with a solid 6% ABV. Then the American Pilsner brings citrus notes and easy drinkability, while the Ume Gose layers plum aroma with tartness and salinity for a real character move.
MugiUme Gose chaos sounds amazing! Plum and salt in one beer? And if they have tasting flights and beer cocktails too, even beginners can jump in without panicking.
Hop BroThat's the smart part. The range goes from light to full-bodied, so people can choose whatever fits their mood at the Sannomaru Government Office Plaza. And you can usually drink Yuruum's beers at the facility restaurant and front desk too.
MugiI'm sold. June 26 to 28 suddenly feels reserved. Whether it's after a sauna or right in the middle of the festival, I really want a glass of Yuruum Brewing now!
