Hop BroToday's big Kawasaki buzz: Pecora Beer developed and brewed the Kawasaki Brave Thunders' official new release, "THUNDERS LAGER."
MugiWait, a team official beer!? Craft beer while watching the game sounds way too good!
Hop BroAnd the rollout was fast. According to the club's announcement, sales started with the February 7, 2026 game against the Ryukyu Golden Kings, and Pecora Beer also announced it in an Instagram post at 17:34 on March 8.
MugiWhoa! So what does THUNDERS LAGER taste like? When they say "American lager," it suddenly feels like exam material!
Hop BroThe style is a traditional American lager. It's fermented cold for a clean finish, while keeping the richness of the malt and delivering a refreshing, crisp drink. The kind you can gulp down easily.
MugiWhat! So it means "really tasty, but still easy to drink during the game"? That fits my cheering energy too!
Hop BroExactly. THUNDERS LAGER costs 850 yen and is served by the arena vendors. On top of that, the existing "THE THUNDERS CRAFT BEER" has been renamed "THUNDERS ALE" and continues to be sold for 800 yen.
MugiSo it's a two-beer lineup! We need a strategy meeting for which to drink first, the lager or the ale!?
Hop BroFor the first half, go with the crisp LAGER; for the second half, switch to the fruity ALE to lift the mood. It's basically an automatic game-linked pairing.
MugiWhoa, suddenly you're coaching! But I like the local feel too.
Hop BroThat's the heartwarming part. Pecora Beer is a brewery in Gorikida, Asao Ward, Kawasaki City. Founded in 2023, it fully launched store operations and in-house brewing in 2024. They're teaming up with the local club to create a craft beer that gets completed at the venue.
MugiIt's decided! For the next game, let's toast with THUNDERS LAGER, and if the momentum comes, switch over to THUNDERS ALE! Hop-nii, let's go drink now!
The new "THUNDERS LAGER," created by the Kawasaki brewery Pecora Beer for the Kawasaki Brave Thunders, is now making its way into arena cuisine. A March 8, 2026, 17:34 Instagram post (title: "...") also announced the collaboration, drawing increasing attention as a partnership between a local club and a local brewery.
According to the club's official announcement, "THUNDERS LAGER" went on sale starting with the February 7, 2026 game against the Ryukyu Golden Kings. The style is a traditional American lager, designed to retain the rich flavor of the malt while delivering a refreshing, crisp finish. It is priced at 850 yen and is served by beer vendors at the venue. In addition, the existing "THE THUNDERS CRAFT BEER" has been renamed "THUNDERS ALE" and continues to be sold for 800 yen.
What makes this collaboration interesting is that it goes beyond being just a simple "sports collab can." Pecora Beer is based in Gorikida, Asao Ward, Kawasaki City, and was founded in 2023, with store operations and in-house brewing fully launched in 2024. The structure, in which a brewery nurtured in the community contributes flavor to the game-day experience of a professional club that also calls Kawasaki home, clearly expands the value of local craft beer.
If you're choosing what to drink while watching the game, do you go with "THUNDERS LAGER," with its light crispness and easy-drinking tempo, or "THUNDERS ALE," with its fruity and bold character? Including the fun of pairing your choice with the flow of the game and your mood, it seems fair to call this a Kawasaki-style "craft beer completed at the venue."
