Kochi Campagne Brewery to release limited guava Hazy IPA on July 9
Kochi Campagne Brewery will release a limited summer beer, Guava Tropical Hazy IPA, under its TOSACO brand on July 9. The beer uses Kochi-grown guava and is described as having tropical aromas and a soft, juicy texture.
Hop BroThis one screams summer: TOSACO’s new release is landing on July 9. Kochi Campagne Brewery is dropping a limited beer called Guava Tropical Hazy IPA.
MugiWait, a guava IPA? That sounds like a beach smoothie wearing a beer costume!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It puts Kochi-grown guava front and center, with aromas that are supposed to remind you of mango and coconut too.
MugiOkay, but Hazy IPA always sounds like a style quiz I forgot to study for!
Hop BroThink of it as a cloudy IPA style. They use oats and wheat to make it softer, fuller, and easier to drink than a sharp, bitter IPA.
MugiOhhh, so it’s basically soft and juicy instead of punch-you-in-the-face bitter. That I can work with!
Hop BroExactly, and this batch is extra special: one tiny tank and done. They only made about 330 bottles, which is seriously small.
MugiOnly 330? That is ridiculously limited. If I spot one, I’m not blinking, I’m grabbing!
Hop BroIt’s also based on TOSACO’s regular beer Arigatosako, then pushed into a more tropical direction. That sense of local ingredients is really this brewery’s thing.
MugiAnd it’s 1,000 yen a bottle, with online orders shipping out from July 9, right? That feels like peak summer treat territory.
Hop BroYeah, on a hot day, that juicy mouthfeel and tropical aroma sound like an instant trip to summer in Kochi.
MugiNo question, I’m in. I want this now, preferably somewhere breezy so I can take one sip and yell, ‘Yep, that’s summer!’
A limited summer release
Kochi Campagne Brewery, based in Kahokucho Hashikawano, Kami City, Kochi Prefecture, is set to release a seasonal beer called Guava Tropical Hazy IPA on July 9. The beer will also be shipped as a reservation item starting July 9 through the brewery's online store. It is priced at 1,000 yen and was brewed as a one-time batch in a small tank, with only about 330 bottles available.
Guava takes the lead
According to the brewery, the beer is built on its popular TOSACO beer Arigatosako, then reworked into a more tropical Hazy IPA. It features guava grown in Kochi, along with aromas reminiscent of mango and coconut. The recipe uses oats and wheat as well, giving the beer a soft, juicy mouthfeel that fits the style.
A TOSACO-style beer rooted in local ingredients
Kochi Campagne Brewery has long focused on beers that highlight local ingredients from Kochi, guided by the ideas of regional sourcing, regional circulation, and craftsmanship. That approach has shaped TOSACO's lineup, from yuzu and bushukan to tomato-based beers. This guava release continues that same line of work: a beer that reflects the region, its growers, and the season.
For drinkers looking for a summer hazy IPA with fruit-driven aroma and a limited release story, this is a straightforward but distinctive seasonal offering from one of Kochi's most local-minded breweries.
