Hop BroBreaking news! Kanasago Brewery in Hitachiota, Ibaraki, announced in an Instagram post at 16:35 on January 26 that sales of "Botanical Craft-Scarlet" will resume.
MugiWhoa! If it's being re-released, does that mean it was a popular beer that sold out fast before?
Hop BroExactly. The post says, "Sorry to keep you waiting! Due to popular demand, sales are starting again!" so it's one that came back thanks to fan response.
MugiHuh! But what kind of style is Scarlet? Is it bitter? Or sweet?
Hop BroBased on the brewery's official framing, it's the second beer in the Botanical Craft series that represents Kanasago's botanical approach, and the core style is craft ale. It's designed to bring out the sweetness and aroma of plants.
MugiWhat is that! "Botanical approach" suddenly sounds like a science class!
Hop BroIt sounds complicated, but it's simple: it's a direction that makes use of herbal and plant-derived nuances to bring out the aroma. And it also has an upcycling angle, adding value to imperfect agricultural products.
MugiUpcycling! I'm drinking beer, but it's socially conscious! The amount of information is as dense as IPA bitterness!
Hop BroThat's Kanasago Brewery's strength: it translates the knowledge of a landscape company with 67 years of history into "Taste the scenery." What's interesting is how it connects the local area and plants to flavor.
MugiWow! With the re-release happening now, it's the perfect moment for first-timers to get into the series. I already want to drink it!
Hop BroCheck stock and sales channels on the official Instagram and website, and let's toast with Scarlet tonight. I'm fully in drink-it-now mode too!
On January 26, 2026 at 16:35, Kanasago Brewery published a post in its official Instagram new-product category and announced the re-release of "Botanical Craft-Scarlet". The caption said, "Sorry to keep you waiting! Due to popular demand, we are starting sales again!" indicating that this is a re-release driven by its popularity.
What makes this move noteworthy is that the brewery's identity is clearly rooted in both "plants" and "the local area." On its official website, the brand message is "Taste the scenery." It presents its craft ale as a product shaped by the know-how of a landscape gardening company founded 67 years ago. The brewery also emphasizes an approach that draws out the natural sweetness and aroma of plants, along with efforts to give new value to agricultural produce that would otherwise be discarded for not meeting standards.
Scarlet is listed in the product information on the site as the second entry in the Botanical Craft series. A beer that symbolizes Kanasago Brewery's botanical direction has returned to the market once again. For existing fans, it is a chance to buy it again; for those who have not tried it yet, it is an opportunity to enter the series.
The brewery is based in Hitachiota City, Ibaraki Prefecture (formerly Kanasago). Its approach of connecting local background to brewing character aligns with the wider domestic craft beer trend that values locality. For details on the re-release, as well as stock and sales channels, check the latest updates on the official Instagram and official website.
