MugiWhat! Does that mean Sailors Grave Brewing is coming back to Japan?
Hop BroExactly. This time it's the release of "Biru Shiso Lemon Gose", a gose that combines lemon acidity with shiso.
MugiA gose? That name alone makes it sound kind of salty!
Hop BroGood catch. Gose is an acidity-forward style that can also use salt, so it's easy to build a tart-but-delicious recipe around it.
MugiWow, shiso and lemon on top of that? That's basically a big Japanese aroma operation!
Hop BroAnd this collaboration is the first release with Naru, the former Sailors Grave brewer and now part of Falò Brewing.
MugiA collaboration with a former brewer and a friend? That's hot! And they're even doing a tap takeover on the day?
Hop BroThey are. Falò Brewing beers will be on tap too, and it's interesting that Novel Craft Brewing is becoming a point of contact for overseas breweries.
MugiThis is making me want to do a tasting festival in Takaido!
Hop BroTotally. You get Sailors Grave's individuality too, so let's just say April 25 is a guaranteed toast.

Australia's Sailors Grave Brewing announced that it is "back in Japan" and previewed the release of a new beer, "Biru Shiso Lemon Gose", at Novel Craft Brewing in Takaido, Tokyo.
According to the post, this beer is the first release in a collaboration between Sailors Grave and Naru of Falò Brewing, a former brewer at the company and a close friend. It is a gose that combines lemon acidity with shiso, suggesting a recipe built around distinctive craft beer ingredients. Sailors Grave has long been known for its distinctive beers centered on fermentation and local ingredients, and has continued to create expressions that resonate well with Japan.
The release event will be held on Saturday, April 25 at Novel Craft Brewing in Takaido, Tokyo. In addition to a Falò Brewing tap takeover, the venue will host a release event for the collaboration beer with Sailors Grave Brewing. Novel Craft Brewing is a brewery in Suginami, Tokyo, and serves as a community-based base that also creates points of contact with overseas breweries.
This visit to Japan is positioned not as a one-off guest appearance, but as an entry point for future collaborations. The project bringing together Sailors Grave, Falò Brewing, and Novel Craft Brewing is likely to become a valuable opportunity to taste the latest creations from an overseas brewery in Tokyo.
