Spicy Brothers releases fishing-themed Saison 「釣」
Murakami, Niigata brewery Spicy Brothers has released Saison 「釣」. The new beer is 7% ABV and 30 IBU, designed around the quiet focus and brief thrill of fishing, and supervised by local pro angler Masakazu Homma.
Hop BroI came across a fun release today: Murakami's Spicy Brothers just dropped Saison "Tsuri", and it completely hooked me.
MugiWhat! The name is all-in on fishing! Is this a beer, or do I need a life jacket first?
Hop BroIt was even supervised by Niigata-based pro angler Masakazu Honma, and the idea is to capture the quiet of fishing and the rush of a hit in one single glass.
MugiWhat is that! I get the rush part, but that fish-bite talk feels way too expert already!
Hop BroIt means that tiny tap you feel through the rod. Flavor-wise, it stacks Motueka, Riwaka, and Nelson Sauvin in a three-hop combo.
MugiWow! But Nelson Sauvin has serious human-name energy. I thought he was your brewer buddy from overseas!
Hop BroIf he were, I'd brag about it. It's a hop variety, and Belle Saison yeast adds gentle spice for a classic saison profile.
MugiWait, even the yeast has personality? So this means crisp and dry with a finish that clears out fast?
Hop BroExactly. At ABV 7% it has real body, but with IBU 30 the bitterness stays controlled, and the lively carbonation is built for a deep-breath finish.
MugiOkay, that sounds amazing! Spicy Brothers was Murakami's first microbrewery and only started selling original beer in January 2026, so this already feels like beer for your hobbies done right.
Hop BroAnd Chase After plus Michidaze helped with the label, so the look is dialed in too. This is a post-fishing pint if I've ever heard one.
MugiI am completely hooked! Now I want to picture a quiet river and go for that first sip right away!
Spicy Brothers, Murakami’s first microbrewery, began selling its original craft beers in January 2026 with a focus on beers that fit alongside hobbies and time spent outdoors. Its latest release is Saison 「釣」.
The brewery frames the beer as an expression of fishing itself. In the caption, it describes the stillness before dawn, the sound of a river, the scent of the sea, and the small tug felt through the rod as part of a fisherman’s memory. The flavor build centers on Motueka for lime-like brightness, Riwaka for vivid citrus, and Nelson Sauvin for white grape and gooseberry notes, rounded out by gentle spice from Belle Saison yeast.
The beer comes in at 7% ABV and 30 IBU. Its dry, lively finish and bright carbonation are meant to echo the feeling after a day on the water. It was supervised by Niigata-based professional angler Masakazu Homma, with label production support from Chase After and Michidaze.
It is a clear fit for Spicy Brothers’ hobby-centered brewing philosophy, adding another distinctive release from Murakami.
