Hop BroHiroshima No Brewery in Miyoshi, Hiroshima, has introduced a beer made with imperfect fruit. Those bottles packed in ice look like the best possible summer invitation.
MugiWhat?! Does “imperfect” mean the flavor is weird too? If it’s rejected for appearance alone, I want to taste it even more!
Hop BroThat’s the key: the fruit may be hard to sell normally because of shape or size, but that doesn’t mean its quality is poor.
MugiWow! Turning rescued fruit into beer is delicious upcycling. I volunteer as the person who rescues the bottles!
Hop BroPlease do that after opening them. The brewery also runs farms in Kisa, handling everything from growing to bottling.
MugiEverything in one flow… is that a beer highway? What does integrated production mean?
Hop BroIt means they grow ingredients in the fields, brew the beer, and bottle it themselves. That gives real weight to “farming continues until brewing.”
MugiIt feels as if the landscape of the farm goes straight into the bottle! Their message, “In the ice, it’s all fields,” suddenly sounds so poetic.
Hop BroKisa in Miyoshi is a basin with deep fog and large day-night temperature swings—conditions said to help raise the sugar content of local fruit and vegetables.
MugiNature sweetens the fruit, then the brewery turns it into beer… I desperately want to catch that baton from the fields!
Hop BroThey have the track record too: HASSAKU SAISON won gold in 2025, while Hazy Pione and Shine Muscat Ale won bronze in 2026.
MugiThe fruit and release timing for this new beer are still to come. Let’s watch for the official announcement and wait for a toast to Hiroshima’s fields!
Hiroshima Noh Brewery in Miyoshi, Hiroshima, has introduced a craft beer made with imperfect fruit.
In the post, several bottles are shown packed in ice alongside the message “Everything in the ice comes from the fields.” The presentation highlights the use of fruit that may be difficult to distribute through regular channels because of its shape or size. The brewery has not disclosed the product name, release date, or detailed tasting information in the post.
Hiroshima Noh Brewery is operated by an agricultural corporation in Kisa, Miyoshi. The brewery also runs its own farm and handles the process from growing ingredients such as hops through brewing and bottling. Its official concept, “Agriculture continues until brewing,” reflects its focus on bringing the flavors of Hiroshima’s fields into the bottle.
Kisa is a basin crossed by three major rivers, with frequent fog and significant differences between daytime and nighttime temperatures. According to the brewery, these conditions help increase the sweetness of local fruits and vegetables, supporting beer that expresses the character of the area.
The brewery’s regional approach has also received recognition. HASSAKU SAISON won a gold award at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2025, while Hazy Pione and Shine Muscat Ale each received bronze awards in 2026. The imperfect-fruit beer represents another link between local agriculture and brewing. Further details about the fruit used, flavor profile, and availability will depend on future announcements from the brewery.
