DO BREWING Restocks Its Popular Saison "SUMMER MADNESS"
Nagano-based DO BREWING announced the return of "SUMMER MADNESS" on Instagram as a "[re stock]." It is a 5.5% ABV saison packaged in November 2025, with the ingredient design adjusted from the previous batch. Because demand is strong toward year-end and stock is running low, the brewery is urging retailers to contact them early.
Hop BroNagano's DO BREWING has restocked its popular saison "SUMMER MADNESS." They announced it on Instagram as a "[re stock]" item, so this is definitely one to watch!
MugiWhoa! So it sold out fast last time?!
Hop BroExactly. It's 5.5% ABV, pkg NOV2025, meaning the November 2025 packaged version. They're presenting it as "Saison beer / Delightful beer."
MugiWhen I hear saison, I picture something really aromatic. What is it like?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part this time: the recipe is designed not to push the saison aromatics too hard. It's quite dry and light, the kind of beer you can keep drinking with a meal.
MugiWait, "single malt + two hops" and "a little dry hop"? That suddenly turned into a spell!
Hop BroBasically, the previous batch was a simple brew with one malt and one hop. This time they kept the one malt but switched to two hops to adjust the aroma and shape, then added just a little hop at the finish to sharpen the crispness.
MugiOh, I see! So it's tuned for drinkability instead of going big on aroma!
Hop BroAnd with year-end demand and gift demand, they're already saying stock is thin. They're even telling retailers to contact them early, so things are moving fast.
MugiNo way, I need to hurry! I'm also curious about @marks_edit_art and @conomark79 on the label, and now I really want to drink some "SUMMER MADNESS" tonight!
The return is a dry, lively saison
In a post at 11:19 on December 12, 2025, DO BREWING introduced the restocked "SUMMER MADNESS." The post labels it "Saison beer / Delightful beer," lists the alcohol content as 5.5%, and shows the packaging date as November 2025 (pkg NOV2025).
Changes in this batch
According to the brewery, the previous version was brewed with a single malt and a single hop, while this batch switches to a single malt + two hops composition. In addition, the recipe now includes a small amount of dry hopping. As for the flavor direction, as with the previous batch, the beer is designed not to emphasize saison-derived aromatics too strongly, while keeping the finish quite dry and light. The defining characteristic is a setup that preserves the saison character while keeping the aromatic presence restrained.
Already short on stock as demand rises, with year-end gift demand too
The post says that stock is already thin due to a combination of rising year-end demand and use as a year-end gift. In particular, retailers are being asked to get in touch early. It is clear that even a restock of a popular beer can move quickly.
One to watch from Nagano's DO BREWING
DO BREWING is a brewery based in Nagano. This "SUMMER MADNESS" is built less around pushing a strong personality and more around a design that encourages drinkability through dryness and lightness. For anyone looking for a saison that pairs well with food, or who prefers a style that does not lean too heavily on aroma, this looks like a bottle worth securing as soon as it returns to stock.
The label design is credited in the post to @marks_edit_art and @conomark79.
