Tsuji Brewing says its seasonal Smoked Ale is down to 2.5 kegs, with summer gift bottles nearly gone
Tsuji Brewing, a brewpub in Chigasaki, Kanagawa, reported that its seasonal Smoked Ale is nearly sold through. The brewery also said its six-bottle summer gift set is running low.
Hop BroTsuji Brewing in Chigasaki just posted that their Smoked Ale has 2.5 barrels left. It feels like late-game summer beer drama.
MugiWhat! 2.5 barrels is so specific. Not two, not three, which somehow makes it feel even more urgent!
Hop BroAnd this seasonal Smoked Ale is all about toasty smoked-malt aroma. Think a hint of smoked cheese with a calm, smooth finish.
MugiWhoa! But smoked malt? What is that even? Did the barley go camping?
Hop BroHonestly, close enough. It's a method of smoking the malt to add aroma. Sometimes it leans bacon-like, but this one sounds mellowed out by aging.
MugiThat sounds like a quietly perfect summer pint. Not a chug-it-ice-cold beer, more like a sunset-and-breeze beer.
Hop BroThe post also says IPA is moving fast, so hop-forward beers in summer are clearly doing their thing. Sports season makes every glass disappear faster.
MugiWorld Cup, MLB, high school baseball, Wimbledon... it's a full summer sports festival! And meanwhile the Ring Toss tournament had only the manager playing, which is hilarious.
Hop BroThat laid-back vibe is very Tsuji Brewing. Plus their six-bottle summer gift set is also almost gone, with only around five or six sets left.
MugiThat's unfair! It makes me want one set to drink and one to gift. I kind of need to head to Chigasaki before the Smoked Ale is gone.
Hop BroA late-stage, well-conditioned Smoked Ale in the taproom has a flavor you only get now. I want to catch it before it disappears.
MugiThen it's settled, straight to Tsuji Brewing. I want that smoky ale, and I absolutely want to leave carrying the bottle set too!
Tsuji Brewing, a brewpub in Misumicho, Chigasaki, shared an update on its Instagram post about what is moving at the taproom right now. The post ties the brewery's summer mood to a packed sports calendar, mentioning the FIFA World Cup, MLB, high school baseball, and Wimbledon.
The clearest beer update is the brewery's seasonal Smoked Ale. According to the post, only about 2.5 kegs remain, which suggests the beer is in the final stretch of its run on tap. It is the kind of beer that fits a slower pace: smoky, gently malt-forward, and well suited to lingering in the taproom.
Tsuji Brewing also noted that its summer gift bottle set, made for omiyage and seasonal gifting, is down to roughly five or six sets. The set includes six bottles, making it an easy option for take-home drinking or for gifting to a craft beer fan. The post also says IPA consumption has been rising, which fits the summer context and hints at demand for hop-forward beers.
A small Ring Toss contest was also held in the taproom, with only the taproom manager taking part, adding a light, low-key detail to the brewery's atmosphere. For drinkers looking for a Chigasaki stop where beer, summer sports, and a relaxed taproom scene come together, Tsuji Brewing is clearly in an active stretch right now.
