Hop BroHere's a good one: AIM Brew LAB. in Saiko is releasing a 2nd anniversary brew, #5 PROVE.
MugiWait, #5 PROVE is an Apricot Juicy Ale? You said apricot and my brain already started drinking it.
Hop BroExactly. It layers bright hop aroma with apricot notes and builds a juicy fruit profile all the way through.
MugiNice, but when I read ABV 6% and aroma hops, it suddenly feels like I forgot to study for a quiz!
Hop BroABV just means alcohol content, and aroma hops are basically the scent team. The main aroma lineup includes Amarillo and Citra.
MugiAzacca, El Dorado... what is this, a hop superhero squad? Those names are way too powerful.
Hop BroAnd AIM Brew LAB. runs out of a renovated old house taproom, brewing small-batch beer with Mt. Fuji spring water.
MugiThat makes me want the scenery with the beer. It sounds like the perfect travel pint memory.
Hop BroThey're also keeping THE BEGINNING as the only year-round beer and pushing the rest into seasonal or experimental releases, so it's a more adventurous lineup.
MugiThen #5 PROVE really is a milestone release, and the anniversary label makes it feel even more limited.
Hop BroOnce you add the soft mouthfeel, slight acidity, and clean finish, my only reaction is I need this now.
MugiSame. I want to sprint to Saiko and make that first sip toast count.
AIM Brew LAB., the small craft brewery operating by Lake Saiko in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi, has announced a new beer called #5 PROVE ahead of its second anniversary. The brewery works out of a renovated old house and runs a taproom-cafe alongside its brewing space.
The new limited release is an Apricot Juicy Ale with the following specs:
- ABV: 6%
- HOPS: Amarillo, Azacca, El Dorado, Citra, and more
According to the brewer's note, the beer layers bright aromatic hops with rich apricot aroma and juicy fruit character, then finishes with a soft mouthfeel, a hint of acidity, and a refreshing aftertaste. The label is also described as a 2nd-anniversary design, making this a release tied directly to the brewery's milestone.
In the same Instagram post, AIM Brew LAB. said it will simplify its permanent lineup by keeping THE BEGINNING as its only flagship beer, while pushing seasonal and experimental recipes more actively going forward. That shift suggests a brewery leaning further into flexibility and small-batch expression as it approaches its second year.
Using local water from the Fuji area and a small-scale brewing setup, AIM Brew LAB. has built a place where locals and travelers can gather around beer. #5 PROVE fits that identity well: a limited beer that marks the anniversary while pointing toward the brewery's next phase.
