SHIKI BEER, a brewpub in Fujimi, Saitama, introduced a specialty saison called “RASPBERRY” made with raspberries from Miyoshi Town and hops grown at its own farm. The beer is listed at 3.0% ABV and 10 IBU, with bright acidity and a lively carbonated finish.
Hop BroListen, Mugi, SHIKI BEER in Saitama just introduced the saison 'RASPBERRY' , a summer-ready brew made with raspberries from Miyoshi and hops from their own farm.
MugiWhat! Beer with raspberries sounds like dessert in a glass. And it's red too? That's full-on camera bait!
Hop BroThat is the fun part. It looks vivid, but it's still a light saison build at ABV 3.0% and IBU 10, so it stays crisp instead of turning syrupy.
MugiHold on, what does IBU 10 mean ? Is that like a report card score? Because 10 sounds alarming!
Hop BroIt's basically a bitterness scale . At IBU 10, the hop bite is pretty gentle, so the beer can push the raspberry tartness and fizzy freshness up front.
MugiOhhh, so it's sharp acidity and bubbles doing the heavy lifting. That sounds dangerously crushable in hot weather!
Hop BroExactly, and the cool part is local ingredients together : fruit from Miyoshi and hops from SHIKI BEER's own farm in Fujimi, which gives the beer a real sense of place.
Mugi"A sense of place"? Wow, dramatic. But knowing where the ingredients grew does make the whole beer feel more alive.
Hop BroAnd because SHIKI BEER is a brewpub, brewing and pouring stay close , so you can drink it right where that story actually matters.
MugiThat rules. It's a limited local pour too, so now I really want to check how the berry character balances with that saison lightness.
Hop BroFirst the color grabs you, then the acidity snaps, then it finishes clean. That is a hot-weather beer done properly.
MugiThen it's settled. Tonight we need a toast at SHIKI BEER , and I am giving this one a perfect score in my imaginary beer report card!
SHIKI BEER, located in Higashi-Mizuhodai, Fujimi City, is featuring a specialty saison called “RASPBERRY” brewed with raspberries from Miyoshi Town and hops grown at the SHIKI BEER farm in Fujimi.
According to the post, the beer comes in at 3.0% ABV and 10 IBU. It is described as having a vivid red color, a sweet-tart raspberry aroma, pronounced acidity, and a refreshing sparkle from the carbonation. The result appears to be a saison that keeps its fruit character upfront while still staying light and easy to drink.
What stands out most is the local ingredient story. By combining fruit from a neighboring town with hops grown at its own farm, SHIKI BEER gives the beer a clear regional identity. At a brewpub, where brewing and serving are closely connected, that kind of locality is especially appealing because guests can taste the ingredients almost as soon as they are turned into beer.
The post also suggests that this batch should show strong berry character. For drinkers who want to follow the balance of fruit, acidity, and carbonation, “RASPBERRY” looks like a saison worth checking out.
