Hop BroYokohama's Libushi Bashamichi has unveiled its 4th anniversary beer. The star is Sundown Fields, a beer that arrived to coincide with the anniversary party.
MugiWhoa! Even the name Sundown Fields sounds stylish! And it's a West Coast Saison? What is that, are they really okay mixing those styles!?
Hop BroThat's what makes the West Coast Saison idea so interesting. It uses Saison yeast and fermentation character as the base, then layers on the hop presence and sturdy backbone of a West Coast IPA.
MugiI see... But what exactly does Saison character mean? This is suddenly getting complicated, like beer industry code or something!
Hop BroIn simple terms, the dry, aromatic quality is what feels Saison-like. On top of that, the bitterness and punch of a West Coast IPA come through, so it drinks sharply but still has real presence.
MugiThat sounds so good! And ABV 8% is pretty solid too. Plus, 900 yen a can really feels like an anniversary beer!
Hop BroExactly, the price is 900 yen/can. And the anniversary goods are great too. The Spiegelau-based beer glass has Libushi on the front and the number 4 on the back stem.
MugiWait, there's even a glass! An anniversary glass and cap is basically a full celebration set. And the hat is nylon and lightweight too? They're making it usable for everyday wear, that's unfair!
Hop BroAnd there's a set discount too. 5% off for two items, 10% off for three, so the design really makes you want to get the beer, glass, and cap all together.
MugiI've already decided! I always fall for the words limited lineup, and Sundown Fields and the goods both sound amazing. Today makes me want to raise a glass for Libushi Bashamichi's anniversary!
Limited Lineup for the 4th Anniversary
Libushi Bashamichi in Yokohama, Kanagawa, shared an anniversary project on Instagram to mark its 4th year. The centerpiece this time is the anniversary beer "Sundown Fields." The style is West Coast Saison, the alcohol content is 8%, and the price is 900 yen/can.
Libushi is known as a brewery that has been promoting craft beer in the Bashamichi area. What stands out in this announcement is that, for this milestone anniversary, it has lined up not only beer but also original related goods.
What's Inside the Anniversary Beer
The brewery explains that it created the West Coast Saison by combining the idea of "West Coast IPA-like flavor" with "Saison character." In the brewing process, the malt composition, yeast selection, and fermentation schedule were set closer to Saison, while the hop selection, alcohol level, and body of the liquid were designed closer to a West Coast IPA.
As for the finished beer, it is presented as a bottle that delivers not only Saison-like dryness and aroma, but also the bitterness and punch typical of a West Coast IPA. It is also described with hints reminiscent of orange juice, making it a beer whose impression changes as you keep drinking.
Anniversary Glass and Cap Also Available
As anniversary goods, an item based on Spiegelau's barrel-aged beer glass has been prepared. The front is printed with "Libushi," and the stem on the back is engraved with the anniversary number "4." The price is 2,500 yen (tax included). It is positioned as suitable not only for the anniversary beer, but also for a wide range of styles such as saisons, sours, and IPAs.
In addition, an original CAP with "Lb" (LIBUSHI Bashamichi) printed on the front has also been introduced. It is made of nylon, so it is lightweight, and the size can be adjusted with an adjuster. The inside is also finished with a design that wraps "Libushi" around the lining, showing attention to details that are not immediately visible. The price is 4,500 yen.

The beer, glass, and hat brewed for this anniversary are also being sold as a set, with a discount offer of 5% off for 2 items and 10% off for 3 items. Quantities are limited, making this an easy way to pick up the anniversary items together.
