Hop BroSummer just got booked. Kiuchi Brewery is launching a summer campaign from August 1 to September 30, all centered on Hitachino Nest Beer's Daisy Ale.
MugiWait, Daisy Ale already sounds adorable. Is this one of those beers where ordering it unlocks side quests?
Hop BroBasically, yes. Order a draft Daisy Ale at any Hitachino Brewing location, Kura Katsu Mito, or Kiuchi Brewery's main tasting room, and you collect stamps for perks.
MugiNo way, a stamp rally setup for beer? That suddenly sounds like a grown-up summer festival. What do you get?
Hop BroYour first pour gets a trading card, the fourth gets an ice cooler bag, and the eighth gets an insulated pouch. Limited quantities too, so summer can outrun you.
MugiThere are rewards all the way to eight? If I make it to the insulated pouch, I'm basically in training camp.
Hop BroAnd the beer itself is a floral golden ale made with chamomile and honey. Think easy-drinking malt with a soft flower-like lift.
MugiHold on, golden ale sounds like a fantasy hero class. What does it actually taste like?
Hop BroIn plain terms, it's an ale that's not too bitter and not too heavy. Then it gets this botanical aroma from the herbs, so it feels like a bouquet wandered into your pint.
MugiOhh, and it's also a beer born with G-DRAGON as its global ambassador? That's a lot of charisma for one pour.
Hop BroKiuchi Brewery goes back to founded in 1823, and they also make Kikuzakari sake and Hinomaru Whisky. That's why this campaign works: old-school brewing with a playful taproom experience.
MugiIf I spot it in Tokyo or Ibaraki, I'm starting with the first-card mission. But honestly, one sip might turn this into an eight-stamp problem.
Hop BroExactly. We should start with one Daisy Ale this summer, even if 'one' has a very weak chance of staying one.
Kiuchi Brewery will run the "DAISY ALE SUMMER CAMPAIGN" for Hitachino Nest Beer Daisy Ale from August 1 to September 30, 2026. Participating venues include all Hitachino Brewing locations, Kura Katsu Mito, and the Kiuchi Brewery main shop tasting corner. Guests who order Daisy Ale on draft can join a stamp-rally style promotion tied to how many glasses they enjoy.
The rewards are listed by tier: a trading card for the first glass, an ice cooler bag for the fourth, and a cold-storage pouch for the eighth. All items are limited in quantity and available while supplies last. The setup encourages guests to start with a single glass and continue through the summer with a small, collectible payoff.

Kiuchi Brewery, founded in 1823 and based in Ishioka, Ibaraki, also produces Kikusakari sake and Hinomaru Whisky.
