Hop BroA new Yokohama special just dropped, and they’ve started brewing mussel beer!
MugiWhat!? Beer and shellfish!? My brain is frothing from too much information!
Hop BroThe announcement was in a March 17 post from NUMBER NINE BREWERY/QUAYS at Yokohama Hammerhead.
MugiOhh! But the article said it’s a brewpub. What does that mean?
Hop BroIt means they brew and serve on site, so brewing and serving are directly connected and you can follow the beer while it’s still fresh.
MugiThat’s amazing! So does mussel mean it’ll taste like pure ocean umami?
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting: how the shellfish character comes through depends on the recipe. And this time the style hasn’t been revealed, so the imagination really takes off!
MugiIt said one month in the post, right? So if we aim for around mid-April, we might have a shot!
Hop BroThat’s a fair reading, but since the serving format and duration can change, checking the shop’s social media before you go is the safe move.
MugiPair that with grilled food while looking out at the harbor, and I’d win just from the imagination!
Hop BroThen let’s go toast when it’s ready. A one-of-a-kind pint by the sea is not something to miss!
At Yokohama Hammerhead in Shinko, Naka Ward, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, NUMBER NINE BREWERY/QUAYS pacific grill shared new brewing news in an Instagram post on March 17, 2026.
The post was titled “Are you kidding?... (Seriously!?)”. It announced that brewing of mussel beer had begun. It also said, “YUKINA’s recommended mussel beer will be ready in one month,” suggesting a project that puts ingredient-driven character front and center, offering something a little different from a typical style introduction.
As a brewpub, the appeal of this shop lies in how closely brewing activity and the serving experience are linked. Its location in Hammerhead, where you can feel the harbor scenery, and its food lineup centered on grilled dishes seem to pair well with this kind of experimental beer. Because the completion timing is clearly stated, beer fans should find it easy to plan a visit for the right drinking window.
At this point, the only specific beer name confirmed from the post is mussel beer. For details on how it will be served after completion, such as keg, volume, or sales period, it is recommended to check the shop’s social media for the latest information before visiting.
Information may be inaccurate. Please refer to the venue’s official channels for the latest details.
