Shinobazu Brewery Hitsuji Ice, a brewery and beer restaurant in Ueno, Taito, Tokyo, announced a new beer in a post published on its official Instagram account on October 8, 2026.

The announcement introduces a new addition to the brewery’s house-brewed lineup. However, the post does not yet provide confirmed details such as the beer’s name, style, alcohol content, ingredients, or serving date. Beer enthusiasts will need to wait for the brewery’s next update for the full profile.

Located on Ueno’s Nakamachidori, about a five-minute walk from Ueno Station, Hitsuji Ice combines an on-site brewery with a restaurant specializing in lamb dishes. Its regular lineup includes “Hitsuji Ice,” an American Pale Ale, and “Shinobazu YELL ALE!,” a Hazy IPA.

The flagship Hitsuji Ice is brewed with New Zealand Nelson Sauvin and U.S. Mosaic hops. Its profile emphasizes fruity aromas and a refreshing, easy-drinking character. Alongside its regular beers, the brewery also produces rotating seasonal and limited releases, giving visitors the chance to discover different interpretations of craft beer throughout the year.

The new beer is expected to be available at the brewery’s Ueno venue, although serving details have not yet been announced. Once more information is released, it will offer another opportunity to pair Hitsuji Ice’s house-made beer with its lamb-focused food menu.
