Hiroshima Noh Brewery unveils GIBIER LAGER brewed with deer-bone stock
Hiroshima Noh Brewery in Miyoshi, Hiroshima, introduced a new collaboration lager with Miyoshi Gibier Koubou on Instagram. The beer, called GIBIER LAGER, uses deer-bone stock and was launched on July 15, with the brewery highlighting its clear appearance and crisp, refreshing finish.
Hop BroThis one's a wild one. Hiroshima NoH Brewery just unveiled a new lager called "GIBIER LAGER" brewed with deer bone dashi.
MugiWait, what! Deer bone dashi lager? How did beer suddenly walk in wearing soup clothes!?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It's a collaboration with Miyoshi Gibier Kobo, and GIBIER LAGER was released on July 15 with a surprisingly clear appearance.
MugiNo way! Beautiful clarity with dashi in it? My brain was fully expecting hot pot in a glass.
Hop BroThe post says it has strong carbonation and a crisp finish, so the idea is that lager-style sharpness keeps the savory part from feeling heavy.
MugiHold on, lager-style sharpness? What does that even mean? Is the beer slicing through the flavor with a tiny sword?
Hop BroPretty close, honestly. It means the taste doesn't linger in a sticky way and the finish drops clean after each sip.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! And this brewery grows ingredients and uses hand-picked hops too, right? That farm-to-brew approach is seriously cool.
Hop BroExactly. Their whole philosophy is tied to local agriculture, and they even won gold in 2025 for HASSAKU SAISON gold, so they know how to land unusual ingredients.
MugiNow I'm fully sold. A crisp lager built around regional game ingredients feels like a local flavor collab I have to try.
Hop BroSame here. It sounds like a glass packed with Hiroshima character, and that crystal-clear pour makes me want to taste the surprise for myself.
MugiYes! I need to know how "dashi but refreshing" actually works, because now I want a sip immediately.
A new beer connecting game and brewing
Hiroshima Noh Brewery introduced a new collaboration lager, GIBIER LAGER, with Miyoshi Gibier Koubou on Instagram. The post says the beer was launched on July 15 and describes it as a craft lager brewed with deer-bone stock, emphasizing its remarkable clarity, strong carbonation, and clean finish.
Built from local resources
The brewery is based in Kisa-cho, Miyoshi City, Hiroshima, and combines farming with brewing. Its official site describes the company with the phrase, “Brewing is part of agriculture,” and highlights beers made with ingredients grown in Hiroshima, along with hand-picked hops. That farm-to-bottle approach fits naturally with a project that draws on local game resources.
A brewery with a proven track record
Hiroshima Noh Brewery also has a strong record with fruit- and produce-driven beers. In 2025, its HASSAKU SAISON won gold at the Japan Great Beer Awards. That background makes this deer-bone lager especially interesting: it shows how the brewery keeps pushing local ingredients in unexpected directions while staying focused on drinkability and balance.
