Ibusuki Brewery in Kagoshima has announced that its next seasonal craft beer is currently brewing and is planned for release in October. The brewery has not yet revealed the beer’s name, ingredients, style, or exact release date.
Hop BroIbusuki Brewery in Kagoshima is brewing a new October release. The words “seasonal beer” alone make me want to chill a glass.
MugiWhat?! The name and flavor are still secret, yet I’m already curious! What could this seasonal craft beer be like?
Hop BroThat mystery is part of the fun. Its September 9 Instagram post announced they were brewing a new release. Style, ingredients, and ABV are all still under wraps.
MugiEven the style is unknown?! Do IPA and lager really make beer styles taste that different?
Hop BroVery much so. IPA puts hop aroma and bitterness forward, while lager is crisp and clean. A style is basically the beer’s flavor blueprint.
MugiWow, an unrevealed blueprint sounds like a treasure chest! And Ibusuki Brewery is in a former elementary school, right?
Hop BroExactly. It renovated the former Tokumitsu Elementary School into a brewery and the Haikou Kitchen Mugi to Niwa restaurant. School memories plus fermenters—a perfect combination.
MugiBrewing beer at a school sounds like an adult after-school science club! They previously made a Tokumitsu watermelon ale, too, right?
Hop BroRight. There was the locally grown Tokumitsu Watermelon Ale, plus 2026’s Ibusuki Orange Ale. They turn local ingredients and seasons into beer you can taste place in.
MugiThen October’s beer may use another Ibusuki ingredient? Chestnuts? Citrus? Or a tropical-fruit plot twist that blows away my guess?
Hop BroYour imagination ferments fast! The brewery is also known for a woman brewer’s refreshing, approachable beers. Release details remain unannounced, so watch their official Instagram.
MugiGot it! I want to visit Ibusuki in October for the new beer and food at Mugi to Niwa. Cheers rehearsal complete—now I really want a pint!
