Shimbashi DRY-DOCK taps SETOUCHI UME, schedules Okinawa fair for July 18
In an Instagram post dated July 7, 2026, Shimbashi DRY-DOCK announced SETOUCHI UME from SETOUCHI BEER as its guest pour and also previewed an Okinawa fair for July 18.
Hop BroSomething fun hit Shinbashi on Tanabata. A guest beer was tapped at DRY-DOCK: SETOUCHI BEER’s "SETOUCHI UME."
MugiWait, a plum beer!? SETOUCHI UME already sounds cool and summery just from the name!
Hop BroHere’s the good part: it’s a fruit ale style beer. Gentle plum aroma, mild sweet-tart notes, and a light body that goes down easy.
MugiWhoa, okay, but what exactly is a fruit ale? Is it beer? Is it juice? My brain is holding a plum emergency meeting!
Hop BroImportant distinction there. It’s still ale at the core, just layered with fruit character. In this one, the gentle plum aroma leads, but it still finishes like beer.
MugiOhhh, so it’s not syrupy sweet, it’s more like an easy, crisp drink. That sounds perfect for hot weather!
Hop BroExactly, and the post also highlighted its lively carbonation. That kind of sparkle really sharpens the whole sip after a long day.
Mugi"Sharpens the sip" sounds like skincare for my mouth! But an after-work pint with plum aroma? That’s a dangerously classy detour.
Hop BroAnd there’s more: they also announced the Okinawa Fair on July 18. Okinawan beers plus small Okinawan snacks, so they’re basically jump-starting summer.
MugiTanabata, then plum beer, then Okinawa? That lineup is ridiculous in the best way. It’s a full summer preview!
Hop BroThat’s the move. Start with SETOUCHI UME and enjoy that light plum vibe, then come back for the fair and go full island mode.
MugiDone. SETOUCHI UME first, Okinawa Fair next. I’m officially ready for a pint right now!
