GRANDLINE BREWING launches first Hanto Domei beer, Passion Voyage
Yokosuka-based GRANDLINE BREWING has launched “Hanto Domei,” a collaboration with SHIMODA BREWING COMPANY in Shizuoka and Atsumi Peninsula Brewing in Aichi. The first release is Passion Voyage.
Hop BroNews from the port town: GRANDLINE BREWING is launching the first Peninsula Alliance beer, 'Passion Voyage.'
MugiWait, what is a Peninsula Alliance? It sounds like a pirate crew I'd absolutely drink with!
Hop BroThis collab brings together GRANDLINE BREWING in Yokosuka, SHIMODA BREWING COMPANY in Izu, and Atsumi Hanto Brewery in Aichi. It's three peninsula breweries turning local character into beer.
MugiOhh, a sea-ringed team-up. That already tastes scenic somehow!
Hop BroAnd 'Passion Voyage' is a Fruited Hazy Double IPA. It's 8.0% ABV, with tropical Citra and Mosaic, plus passion fruit and a hit of key lime.
MugiWhat! That is an aggressively long name. Are you describing beer or casting a spell?
Hop BroBasically, it means big juicy hop aroma, serious fruit flavor, and a stronger body. Wheat malt and oats give it a silky mouthfeel, so it drinks smooth even with all that weight.
MugiSo it's a dangerously crushable heavyweight? Smooth 8.0% sounds like a trap with excellent branding!
Hop BroExactly. And GRANDLINE BREWING opened in Yokosuka's Ogawacho in October 2023 with a Yokosuka-born adventure vibe, and they already lean into Hazy IPAs and sours.
MugiI love that. It feels like a beer that makes you travel, not just something you check off a menu.
Hop BroThat's the bigger idea. 'Peninsula Alliance' isn't a one-off; they're aiming for routes that spread nationwide by connecting more peninsulas through beer.
MugiThen I'm in. Just hearing tropical hops and that bright lime snap makes this an immediate toast situation.
A collaboration connecting peninsulas
GRANDLINE BREWING, based in Yokosuka, Kanagawa, has launched a collaboration project called “Hanto Domei” together with SHIMODA BREWING COMPANY in Izu, Shizuoka, and Atsumi Peninsula Brewing in Tahara, Aichi. The goal is to share the appeal of peninsula regions across Japan through craft beer.
First release: Passion Voyage
The first beer in the project is “Passion Voyage,” brewed by GRANDLINE BREWING. It is a Fruited Hazy Double IPA at 8.0% ABV. The beer is built around tropical hop aromas from Citra and Mosaic, layered with passion fruit richness and the bright acidity of key lime. Wheat malt and oats are used to create a silky mouthfeel, balancing intensity with smooth drinkability.
From Yokosuka, a wider route forward
GRANDLINE BREWING opened in October 2023 in Ogawacho, Yokosuka. On its official website, the brewery describes itself as starting “a new beer adventure,” and its lineup spans hazy IPAs and sour styles. That adventurous mindset is reflected in this project as well, where beer is used as a way to express regional character.
“Hanto Domei” is designed as more than a one-off collaboration. The breweries say they want to expand the network to peninsulas nationwide and create reasons for people to travel, discover local culture, and connect through beer.
