Izumisano Brewing in Izumisano, Osaka, is releasing a limited-edition bottle commemorating the Hanshin Tigers’ 2026 JERA Central League championship. Featuring an officially approved Hanshin Tigers championship logo, the beer celebrates the first consecutive Central League titles in the club’s history.

The Hanshin Tigers are now in their 91st year, and this marks their eighth Central League championship. Since the two-league system was introduced in Japanese professional baseball in 1950, the club has built a long history that includes its first Central League title in 1962. However, this is the first time the team has won the league in consecutive seasons.

Although the final stages of the season gave fans plenty to worry about as the championship approached, Hanshin ultimately achieved a historic milestone. The limited-edition KIX BEER is designed as a toast to that achievement and can be enjoyed after a game, presented as a gift, or kept as a memento of the 2026 season.

Izumisano Brewing operates one of the largest craft beer brewing facilities in southern Osaka. Under the KIX BEER brand, the brewery focuses on approachable beers intended to travel beyond the region. Its lineup includes styles such as Weizen, Amber Ale, and Peach Ale, with several beers recognized at domestic and international competitions.

The championship bottle is available through the KIX BEER Yahoo! Shopping store and the brewery’s official online shop. As production is limited, Hanshin fans who want to commemorate the club’s historic back-to-back title should check availability early.
