Hop BroToday’s topic is Peach Weizen Hakuho Ver. from Minoh Beer, a summer favorite that opened for pre-orders at 5 p.m. on August 22.
MugiWait, what? A peach beer? And Hakuho sounds like the sequel to a peach movie or something!
Hop BroExactly. This Minoh Brewery series is fun because they brew four peach varieties in sequence, and this one follows the first release, Wase.
MugiHuh, nice! But what’s special about Hakuho? That name sounds way too powerful for a fruit.
Hop BroHakuho uses Arakawa peaches from Hachihata Farm in Wakayama, and the draw is soft flesh and juicy character with an elegant sweet aroma.
MugiThat already sounds great... but then the article said weizen yeast, and suddenly I feel like I’m in chemistry class.
Hop BroHere’s the simple version: weizen yeast gives off clove and banana notes, so think of it as a fruity wheat beer and it clicks right away.
MugiOhhh, got it! Then peach joins the party and somehow it doesn’t become a traffic jam of aromas? That’s impressive.
Hop BroRight, and with 50% wheat malt it stays soft on the palate, but they still aim for a clean beer finish instead of leaving too much sweetness. IBU 12 helps too.
MugiAnd it’s 5.0% ABV, unfiltered, milky white, and best at 8 to 12°C? That’s basically the perfect summer reward in a glass!
Hop BroThat’s why Minoh Beer works so well here. They keep a classic base while doing seasonal releases, so it has real summer staple credibility. I want this chilled.
MugiThen it’s settled! Just imagining a Hakuho Ver. toast is making me crave peaches already. Hop Bro, open the pre-order page now!
Minoh Beer, based in Minoh City, Osaka, announced on Instagram that online reservations for Peach Weizen (Hakuhou Ver.) opened at 5 p.m. on August 22. The beer is the second release in the brewery’s annual Kokusan Momo Weizen series, which is brewed in four batches timed to the peach harvest and follows the first release, Wase.
The beer uses Arakawa peaches from Hachiki Farm in Wakayama. According to the brewery, Hakuhou is a variety known for its juicy flesh and elegant sweetness. Its fruity character is layered with the clove- and banana-like notes typical of weizen yeast, while 50% wheat malt gives the beer a soft mouthfeel. The finish is kept dry and crisp so the fruit character stays within a beer-driven profile.
The official product information lists the beer at 5.0% ABV, 12 IBU, and a milky-white appearance. It is best served at 8–12°C and is unfiltered. Minoh Beer is known for its classic styles as well as seasonal beers that use local citrus and fruit, and Peach Weizen has become one of its most recognizable summer releases.
