Grandline Brewing launches Peninsula Alliance with three-brewery collaboration beer 'Passion Voyage'
Grandline Brewing in Yokosuka has joined SHIMODA BREWING COMPANY and Atsumi Peninsula Brewing to launch the 'Peninsula Alliance.' The first release is 'Passion Voyage,' a fruited hazy double IPA brewed to showcase peninsula-linked flavors and regional collaboration.
Hop BroI want to start with the first Peninsula Alliance release today. Grandline Brewing in Yokosuka teamed up with SHIMODA BREWING COMPANY and Atsumi Peninsula Brewery to launch Passion Voyage.
MugiWhat! Peninsula Alliance sounds like a full-on adventure party! It is a beer collab, but I can already hear the sailing soundtrack!
Hop BroThat vibe is actually pretty close. It is a project linking three different peninsulas through beer, with the goal of boosting local charm and even tourism.
MugiWhoa, so beer becomes the shared language. That is such a good setup for tasting and traveling at the same time!
Hop BroAnd Passion Voyage is a Fruited Hazy Double IPA, brewed by GLB. It is 8.0% ABV, so if you underestimate it, it will absolutely sneak up on you.
MugiWhat is that! That style name sounds like a spell. I would trip over my own tongue just trying to order it!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it is a hazy, juicy, bigger IPA. Hazy makes it soft, Double gives it more strength, and the fruit layers add extra character.
MugiOhhh, now I get it! So passion fruit and key lime would make it feel tropical, but still bright and zippy?
Hop BroExactly. Then Citra and Mosaic build that tropical hop aroma, while wheat malt and oats give it a silky mouthfeel.
MugiSo Citra and Mosaic are hop varieties! I thought they were a band name, but they are actually the aroma all-stars!
Hop BroIt really feels like a seaside kind of beer, which suits GLB perfectly, and it carries the personalities of Miura, Izu, and Atsumi together. I am already ready to crack one open.
MugiI cannot take this anymore, I want to drink it now! Let us open a Passion Voyage by the sea and start planning our peninsula beer trip!
Grandline Brewing, based in Yokosuka, Kanagawa, has launched a three-brewery collaboration project called the "Peninsula Alliance" with SHIMODA BREWING COMPANY in Izu, Shizuoka, and Atsumi Peninsula Brewing in Tahara, Aichi. The project is designed to use local resources and help promote craft beer culture by connecting the appeal of peninsula regions through beer.
The idea behind the alliance is to connect three distinct peninsula regions -- Miura, Izu, and Atsumi -- through a shared perspective. Rather than stopping at a one-off collaboration, the breweries say the project aims to create opportunities for fans to visit each other's regions and to build broader tourism and community links. In that sense, beer becomes a common language for expressing the nature, food culture, and history that define these coastal areas.
The first beer in the project is `Passion Voyage`, brewed by Grandline Brewing. It is a Fruited Hazy Double IPA with 8.0% ABV. According to the article, the beer layers tropical hop aromas from Citra and Mosaic with rich passion fruit character and the bright acidity of key lime. Wheat malt and oats give it a silky texture and a smooth drinkability that helps balance the higher alcohol content.
- Beer name: Passion Voyage
- Style: Fruited Hazy Double IPA
- ABV: 8.0%
- Key ingredients: key lime, passion fruit, Citra, Mosaic
As a brewery rooted in Yokosuka's port-city setting, Grandline Brewing has worked with the atmosphere and culture of its local area in mind. This new project extends that approach by pairing Miura Peninsula's character with the identities of Izu and Atsumi. The breweries say they will continue developing special beers after discussing styles and recipes together, with each release reflecting the individuality of its region.
