In an Instagram post dated August 1, the brewpub introduced its summer seasonal beer, Summer IPA.

Brewery and Cheese Ino Chujiro Shoten is a brewpub in Sawara, Katori City, Chiba. In the post, the shop said it has prepared Summer IPA again this year as a beer for the hot season.

According to the caption, Summer IPA is an IPA-style beer with a dry finish and strong bitterness. It is positioned as a refreshing option for summer, with a bright aroma and a crisp profile that should appeal to drinkers looking for a beer with clear hop character. The beer can be enjoyed on site, and it is also available to take home as a souvenir.

The shop is located at 1894-3 Sawara-i, Katori City, and its hours are 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., closed on Wednesdays. As a brewpub, it offers beer alongside food, and the name also suggests a cheese-focused pairing angle. For visitors spending time in Sawara, it is an easy stop for a seasonal pint with a meal.

Rather than a large-scale special release, Summer IPA reads as a straightforward seasonal recommendation. For beer drinkers who want a firmly bitter IPA during the summer heat, it is a useful one to keep in mind.
