Miura Brewery refreshes MIURA Island Wheat with Mitsumugi baguette
Miura Brewery in Miura, Kanagawa is updating its sea-inspired flagship beer, MIURA Island Wheat. The brew now includes baguette from local bakery Mitsumugi, alongside the bakery's home-grown pesticide-free wheat, with a reveal planned for early August.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Miura Brewery’s refreshed beer. Their flagship "MIURA Island Wheat" is getting a new reveal in early August.
MugiWhat! MIURA Island Wheat already sounds like the ocean in a glass! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s basically a wheat-style ale inspired by the sea around Jogashima. The big appeal is its fine white foam and soft, gentle mouthfeel.
MugiOooh! Fine white foam already makes it sound delicious. My hand is reaching for a glass on its own.
Hop BroAnd this time, bakery Jumugi is adding baguette into the recipe. Along with their homegrown pesticide-free wheat, they’re aiming for even more toasted grain character.
MugiNo way! Bread goes into beer now? Breakfast and happy hour just crashed into each other!
Hop BroThat’s where the upcycling idea comes in. It’s not just reusing bread, it’s turning that wheaty aroma and baked-in nuttiness into better flavor.
MugiWait, hold on, what does upcycling mean? It sounds cool, but in my head the baguette is still doing laps.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it means giving ingredients more value. And they actually rebuilt the recipe, so this isn’t a gimmick, it’s a real flavor upgrade.
MugiOkay, I’m in! Miura’s bread and beer teaming up and getting tastier is way too powerful. This has to be fun with local veggies or tuna.
Hop BroMiura Brewery is great at pairings, so I can already picture a match with Misaki tuna. It feels like the sea-theme beer is getting even more depth.
MugiNow I’m officially stuck waiting for early August to arrive! The new "MIURA Island Wheat" sounds like something I want to drink by the ocean immediately.
Miura Brewery is a craft brewery based at the southern tip of the Miura Peninsula in Miura City, Kanagawa. On its official site, the brewery presents beers inspired by the local coast and seasonal produce, and it also highlights food pairings at its taproom with Misaki tuna and Miura vegetables.
The new Instagram post focuses on a refresh of MIURA Island Wheat, the brewery's regular beer inspired by the waters around Jogashima. Until now, the beer has used home-grown, pesticide-free wheat from Mitsumugi, a popular bakery in Miura City, to create fine white foam and a soft mouthfeel. This time, Mitsumugi's baguette is also being used as an ingredient.
According to the post, the bakery's bread has a rich wheat aroma and a toasted fragrance that comes through as you bite into it. The goal is not only to upcycle the baguette, but also to bring out more flavor in the beer itself. In other words, the recipe has been rebuilt to balance sustainability with taste.
Brewing is now underway, and the beer is scheduled to be unveiled in early August. It is a local collaboration that brings together Miura's baking and brewing culture in a single glass.
