MugiWait, so I can drink it already!? Is it like a Christmas beer!?
Hop BroThey were aiming for before Christmas, but it didn't make it in time for a weekend release, so it's scheduled to be on store shelves from December 23. It's positioned as a winter seasonal, meaning a limited-edition seasonal beer.
MugiWhen they say “brewing is complete,” does that mean you can drink it right away?
Hop BroThat's the fun part about beer! Brewing is just the starting point, and after that there’s fermentation and maturation. And since this time it seems to have been a real last-minute push, the timing must have been tight.
MugiA tight schedule...! This feels like a craftsman battle manga or something! So wholesale sales are real too?
Hop BroYes, they are. Wholesale sales will start along with store sales. But they also announced that “the quantity looks likely to be lower this year,” so the lot size seems to be small, and they may not be able to match the amount you want.
MugiA lot!? What's that! Is it a spell!?
Hop BroNot a spell, haha. A lot just means the production batch for one run. A small lot means you're lucky if you get your hands on it, which adds to the limited-edition feel. Kyonan Beer is a brewery that makes good use of local Koshihikari rice and lemons too, so they're great at creating a seasonal mood.
MugiWow~! Then December 23 is definitely a date to check! I want one for winter meals! What about you, Hop?
Hop BroOf course I want to secure one too. It sounds like it would go well with year-end meals and as a gift, so if you spot one of Kyonan Beer's seasonal limited releases, ordering it right away is the move.
MugiAll right, I can see the future of a toast! Let's go drink “that seasonal beer” together!
This Season's “That Seasonal Beer” Has Been Brewed Again
In an Instagram post at 5:58 p.m. on December 21, 2025, Kyonan Beer announced, “The seasons keep turning, and we brewed this beer again this season!” The beer was made with the goal of being available by Christmas, but at the time of the post the brewery said it was “really down to the wire,” revealing that it had not made it in time for release in stores that weekend.
Store Sales Begin on December 23
The post says, “It will be on store shelves from the day after tomorrow,” so based on the publication date, sales are expected to begin on December 23. With year-end demand rising, fans looking for seasonal beers will want to check carefully so they do not miss the restock timing.
Wholesale Sales Also Begin, Though Quantities Are Limited
The same post also mentions the start of wholesale sales in addition to store sales. However, it warns in advance that “the quantity looks likely to be lower this year,” suggesting that the brewery may not be able to promise the number that customers want. For restaurants and liquor retailers, getting in touch early is likely to be important.
