Sunao Brewery brews a collaboration beer with Burger POLICE Kasukabe; opening planned for early July
Akita-based Sunao Brewery has brewed a collaboration beer with Burger POLICE Kasukabe. The brewery says the beer was made with help from the restaurant’s manager, Leo, and shaped as a classic pilsner designed to pair with burgers. It is scheduled to be tapped in early July.
Hop BroI want to start with an Akita-to-Kasukabe collab. Sunao Brewery brewed a beer with Burger POLICE Kasukabe, and it is scheduled to go on tap in early July.
MugiWait, a burger-shop collab? And the Kasukabe crew actually went all the way to Yokote for the brew? That commitment is wild!
Hop BroThat part rules. The brewery here is Sunao Brewery, a Yokote producer built around the idea of being kind to nature and kind to people.
MugiNice! But the beer name still is not out? When I hear classic pilsner, I get even more curious!
Hop BroYeah, no official name yet, but the style is a classic pilsner. Crisp, clean, and built to wash away burger richness so you want the next bite immediately.
MugiThat description already made me hungry. But hold on, adding the house buns to the brew? Does that not turn the beer into liquid sandwich porridge?!
Hop BroNot at all. That is just using adjunct ingredients to add toastiness and the shop's identity in a way malt alone cannot do. Think of it as a drinkable business card.
MugiAdjunct ingredients sounds like science class! So basically it was designed for burgers. And Leo helped with the brew too, so they were clearly serious.
Hop BroExactly. Burger POLICE Kasukabe is known for its 100% Japanese wagyu patty, so this beer is meant to go toe-to-toe with real food, not just sit pretty.
MugiAkita's local character meeting a Kasukabe burger in one glass is kind of lovely. If it is tapping in early July, I need to block off my calendar for drinking.
Hop BroThat is the correct use of a calendar. Bite burger, sip pilsner, repeat: the perfect back-and-forth. My throat is reacting just thinking about it.
MugiSame. I am already rehearsing the first cheers in my head. Burger in one hand, that beer in the other, and I am absolutely ordering another.
A beer connecting Yokote and Kasukabe
Sunao Brewery, based in Yokote City, Akita, has brewed a collaboration beer with Burger POLICE Kasukabe, a wagyu burger bistro in Saitama. On its official site, Sunao Brewery describes its approach as brewing with care for nature and people, rooted in the rich environment of Yokote.
The restaurant joined the brew day
According to the brewery’s Instagram post dated June 3, 2026, Burger POLICE Kasukabe manager Leo traveled to Yokote and helped with the brewing process. The post also says the restaurant’s original buns were added, and the beer was built as a classic pilsner meant to go well with hamburgers. It is a collaboration that puts the pairing of burgers and beer at the center.
Scheduled for early July
The beer is planned to be tapped in early July. Burger POLICE Kasukabe is known for its wagyu burgers made with 100% Japanese Black beef and its bistro dishes, making the collaboration especially fitting for a meal-focused drinking occasion.
Sunao Brewery continues to build on its Yokote identity while connecting with food and drink businesses outside Akita. This release looks like a straightforward, food-friendly collaboration that should interest beer fans who enjoy clean pilsners and well-matched pairings.
