Minoh Beer releases first 2026 Peach Weizen batch on July 29
Minoh Beer released the first batch of its summer seasonal Peach Weizen on July 29. Brewed in Osaka’s Minoh City with fresh Arakawa peaches from Hakki Farm in Wakayama, the beer combines fruity Weizen yeast aromas with a bright peach character.
Hop BroToday’s summer headline is Peach Weizen (Wase). Minoh Beer released it on July 29, and it’s a seasonal weizen brewed with peach.
MugiWait, that already sounds delicious! Minoh Beer is that famous brewery from Osaka, right?
Hop BroExactly. Minoh Brewery has been brewing since 1997, and this release uses Arakawa peaches from Hachiki Farm in Wakayama.
MugiNo way! So does that make it super sweet? And hand-made peach puree sounds seriously intense.
Hop BroThat’s the smart part. They keep the sweetness in check and layer in the weizen yeast’s ester aroma with the fresh peach character, so it still drinks like beer.
MugiHold on, that turned technical fast! Ester aroma sounds like I accidentally walked into chemistry class.
Hop BroNot chemistry class, just beer class. It basically means banana-and-clove notes, the soft classic weizen aroma, with juicy peach on top.
MugiOhhh, so the peach stands out without turning it into juice, and the soft mouthfeel keeps it easy to drink. That is extremely summer.
Hop BroAnd this one is only the first lap. The Peach Weizen series rolls out four peach varieties over the season, including Hakuhou, Shimizu, and Kawanakajima Hakuto.
MugiWhat, it’s a full peach relay! So WAREHOUSE starts July 29 at 11 a.m., and online sales begin August 5 at 5 p.m., right?
Hop BroRight, and restaurants plus bottle shops start getting it around July 30. It sounds like a perfect early-summer pint, and now I want one immediately.
MugiSame here, my brain is already in summer mode. I need to taste that fresh peach character and the weizen aroma for myself.
Minoh Beer has launched the 2026 release of its popular summer seasonal, Peach Weizen (Early Harvest). The beer went on sale on July 29, with direct sales at the brewery’s WAREHOUSE taproom starting at 11:00, trade distribution beginning around July 30, and the official online shop scheduled to start sales on August 5 at 17:00.
For this first release, the brewery uses Arakawa peaches from Hakki Farm in Wakayama. The freshly harvested fruit is hand-pureed and added generously to the beer. The result is a combination of Weizen yeast character, including clove- and banana-like notes, with a vivid peach aroma. The beer is designed to stay soft on the palate while keeping its sweetness restrained, so the fruit character remains clear without losing the drinkability of beer itself.
Peach Weizen is a four-part seasonal series released according to peach variety: Early Harvest, Hakuhou, Shimizu, and Kawanakajima Hakutou. The first release is described as having a more restrained aroma, but with an elegant fruit tone and a fresh, bright finish that suits the start of summer.
Based in Minoh City, Osaka, Minoh Beer has been brewing since 1997. Its approach centers on classic styles, while also producing seasonal beers and releases that make use of local ingredients. That background is evident here: a local brewery turning a seasonal fruit into a beer that fits both the summer table and the brewery’s long-running identity.
