VANAVASA Highlights PICNIC SESSION, a Session IPA by Hakuba Brewing Company
The Kamakura beer pub VANAVASA has introduced its latest guest beer, PICNIC SESSION. Brewed by Hakuba Brewing Company, the 4.5% Session IPA is a collaboration involving VANAVASA (Kamakura Picnic Society) and 3RD cafe&more.
Hop BroI want to talk about PICNIC SESSION from VANAVASA in Onarimachi, Kamakura. It’s a Session IPA brewed by Hakuba Brewing Company, and it totally sounds like a beer for the outdoors.
MugiWait, the name already sounds fun! Is this like a picnic-only beer or what?
Hop BroHere’s the good part: it’s built around a breezy 4.5% ABV, with a light body, but the hop aroma still pops with lime and grapefruit vibes.
MugiWhoa, hold on! That whole hop aroma thing was very manager-mode of you. What does that actually mean for normal humans?
Hop BroIt means the scent lifts right up out of the glass. So basically, you get bright citrus notes first, then a crisp sip and a gentle, satisfying bitterness.
MugiThat sounds perfect! Light but aromatic is exactly the kind of beer I’d want between a walk and a meal.
Hop BroAnd it’s a collaboration involving VANAVASA, also known as Kamakura Picnic Society, and 3RD cafe&more, while Hakuba Brewing Company handled the brewing. That lineup is basically serving scenery in liquid form.
MugiWhat is this, a dream team? Kamakura and Hakuba joining forces already makes it taste stylish in my head.
Hop BroThat’s the clever part. Even as a guest beer in the pub, it’s designed to leave you with the afterglow of outdoorsy fun. They’re even talking about picnic plans in Kamakura, Shiga Kogen, and Hakuba.
MugiPlease don’t tell me I’m supposed to drink the breeze too! But if it stays refreshing even as it warms, I can absolutely picture nursing one outside.
Hop BroThat’s classic Session IPA energy. The aroma stays vivid, the finish stays easy, and it gives you that I could go for another feeling.
MugiAll right, my brain is already at a picnic. I want one now, so let’s start planning a stop at VANAVASA.

According to the post caption, the beer has a light body with hop aromatics that evoke lime and grapefruit. It is described as crisp, refreshing, and pleasantly bitter. At 4.5% ABV, it is intentionally easygoing and designed to stay drinkable after a picnic or other outdoor activity. The concept is clear: a beer that fits the moment after time spent outside.
VANAVASA, located in Onarimachi, Kamakura, is a beer pub that naturally suits this kind of offering. The post also mentions ongoing plans for picnic events in Kamakura, Shiga Kogen, and Hakuba, which reinforces the idea that this beer is part of a broader outdoor lifestyle rather than a one-off release.
