Hop BroThe alcohol is light at 4.0%, so it's easy to get into, and the price is 1,031 yen. You can buy from one bottle, and the best-before date is 2026/08/29.
MugiAh, I saw that in the article! The label had a mistake in the alcohol listing, right? A note about the misprint is a little shocking!

MugiIt's settled! I'm fully in drink mode too! Let's start this fruit-loaded reward sour time!
A fruit-packed smoothie sour brewed as a collaboration
"HIGASHIE," published by B.M.B Brewery (Miyazaki) at 16:04 on March 16, 2026, is a smoothie sour brewed in collaboration with Derailleur Brew Works. The product page explains that the recipe is built around the rich sweetness of banana and mango, while apple and lime acidity keep the drink light and easy to sip.
The aroma profile clearly aims for a "mixed juice" impression. Peach forms the base, while classic fruits like banana and mango are layered on top, and sour cherry is added as an accent to give depth to what could otherwise become a one-dimensional sweetness. The beer is further rounded out by the smoothness derived from custard cream, striking a balance between dessert-like character and the tartness expected of a sour.
