Hop BroBreaking news: Tokyo Aleworks’ new limited-can collaboration is coming out on April 29!
MugiWait! It’s called "A Bellyful of Malts and Peace"? That name is so intense!
Hop BroAnd it’s a serious collaboration with Mark “Barney” Greenway of Napalm Death, with a style of English Mild brewed with Chipotle Chilis.
MugiWhat is that! What even is English Mild? And you’re putting chipotle in beer!?
Hop BroEnglish Mild leans toward malt and has a gentle flavor, and this one is low-ABV and gently bitter at 4.0% ABV and 18 IBU, so it should be easy to drink without getting tiring.
MugiHuh! But IBU and EKG, suddenly it’s spell time from Hop Bro!
Hop BroIBU is a measure of bitterness, and EKG refers to a British hop with an elegant aroma, with the chipotle adding a smoky spiciness on top.
MugiOh, so it’s not a hoppy bomb but a beer to pair with food! And since it’s a cans-only release, this already feels like a battle for bottles—wait, cans!
Hop BroAdvance reservations start on April 1, 2026 via DM and email, and the official release is April 29. You can really feel the seriousness of an experimental recipe that fits a brewpub in Itabashi.
MugiA malt-forward beer with smoky, spicy notes... just imagining it makes it the kind of pint you want to sip slowly!
Hop BroLet’s reserve it and take our time pairing it with food. We’re both completely ready to drink now!
The brewpub Tokyo Aleworks in Itabashi, Tokyo, has announced an upcoming release as guest beer news. This time, the beer is "A Bellyful of Malts and Peace". The post makes it clear that it is a collaboration with Napalm Death’s Mark “Barney” Greenway.
The beer’s specs are as follows.
- Style: English Mild with Chipotle Chilis
- ABV: 4.0%
- IBU: 18
- Hops: EKG
This is a distinctive take on English Mild, pairing its low ABV and gentle bitterness with Chipotle Chilis. Centered on a rich malt backbone, it promises layers of smoky and spicy nuance. Rather than a standard hop-forward beer, this is one to enjoy slowly with food.
It will be sold exclusively in cans. The post says advance reservations open from April 1, 2026 (via DM and email), with the release set for April 29, 2026. Tokyo Aleworks is a brewpub that has continued to make use of its in-house brewing strengths to create experimental recipes and collaborations. In the Itabashi area, it is a place where you can enjoy both the freshness and the inventive spirit that come with being directly connected to the brewery, so this limited release is one to watch.
