Isana Brewing starts brewing official collaboration IPA for 'Onsen Shark 2'
Isana Brewing in Akishima, Tokyo, says it has brewed an official collaboration beer for the film 'Onsen Shark 2'. The beer, named 'Onsen Shark IPA,' is a blood-orange red IPA at 7.5% ABV and is scheduled for release soon.
Hop BroHere’s today’s topic: Isana Brewing has started brewing Onsen Shark IPA as an official collaboration with the film "Onsen Shark 2."
MugiWhat?! Sharks and beer together? And hot springs too? That is movie collab chaos in the best possible way!
Hop BroIt’s from Isana Brewing in Akishima, Tokyo, and it’s a bright red IPA made with blood orange, clocking in at 7.5% ABV.
MugiI need this explained immediately. When you say they started brewing, what is wort supposed to be? Why does shark news suddenly sound like chemistry class?
Hop BroWort is the liquid made by pulling sweetness and flavor from malt before fermentation. The easy version is: it’s pre-beer soup that eventually turns into beer.
MugiOhh, okay, so no actual shark swimming in the tank. And with blood orange making it red, the whole thing already feels wildly cinematic!
Hop BroExactly, and it’s not just about the look either. They say it’ll be firmly bitter, so with citrus aroma and IPA hop bite, this could have a really sharp flavor profile.
Mugi“Sharp flavor profile”? Listen to you turning into a beer critic. So what kind of brewery is Isana Brewing anyway?
Hop BroThey’ve run a brewery and roastery in Akishima since May 2018, using deep underground water from the area for their beer. They even roast their own coffee, so they’re basically specialists in delicious bitterness.
MugiBeer and coffee? That’s an elite bitterness double act right there. Even their whole Factory & Laboratory vibe sounds like a secret base.
Hop Bro"Onsen Shark 2" is set for a September 4 release, so this IPA should get a lot of attention too once it drops soon. The real problem is whether to drink it before the movie or after.
MugiWhy choose? We obviously do both. A red, bitter Onsen Shark IPA already sounds like something I want in my hand right now!
Isana Brewing in Akishima, Tokyo, says it has brewed an official collaboration beer for the film 'Onsen Shark 2'. According to the brewery's Instagram post, the beer is named 'Onsen Shark IPA' and is a vivid red IPA made with blood orange. It comes in at 7.5% ABV and is described as firmly bitter, with release planned soon.
Founded in 2018, Isana Brewing operates the Isana Brewing Brewery & Roastery in Akishima, where it brews beer on site using local deep groundwater and also roasts coffee in-house. Its concept is "Factory & Laboratory" and the brewery has built its identity around experimentation, ingredients, and the chemistry that comes from people meeting over beer.
The new collab fits that profile well: a clearly themed IPA tied to a movie launch, with a strong visual hook and a straightforward flavor direction. 'Onsen Shark 2' is set for theatrical release on September 4, so beer and film fans will likely be watching for the rollout around that date.
